Right then, that is all we have from this enthralling game and the reigning champions have managed to peg back the table toppers by condemning them to their first loss of the season. The action in the 9th edition of the Bangladesh Premier League will take a day's break and return on Thursday 19th January as we have another doubleheader to look forward to at this very stadium. In the first game, Comilla Victorians host Dhaka Dominators and the game will begin at 1 pm IST (7.30 am GMT). The next match will see Fortune Barishal lock horns against Rangpur Riders which will start at 6 pm IST (12.30 pm GMT). As always, you can join us in advance for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Imrul Kayes, the skipper of Comilla Victorians, says that they did not click in the first three matches. Shares that they had a lot of discussions after those losses. Adds that they changed their plans and it was all about executing it on the field. Mentions that the plan was that one of the openers will look to bat through and which is what Litton Das did today.
Litton Das is the Player of the Match for his match-winning knock of 70 runs from 42 balls. He says that he gave his best in this game. Adds that Chattogram is good for batting and all he did was time the ball. Shares that he felt bad after losing Mohammad Rizwan to a run out as he is their key player. Reckons that it is all about building partnerships while chasing a low total and one of the batters has to bat for 15-16 overs.
Mashrafe Mortaza, the skipper of Sylhet Strikers, says that they were 15-20 runs short. Adds that they did not bat well upfront as well as during the middle overs. Feels that they needed a partnership after losing three wickets but it was unfortunate to lose Mushfiqur Rahim and Najmul Hossain Shanto. Ends by saying that Imad Wasim bowled well and having another spinner would have certainly helped.
Time for the presentations...
Sylhet Strikers will be ruing their performance with the bat in the first inning as they failed to put up a decent total on the board and with the way they bowled they would have loved to have 10-15 more runs in their kitty. They were 53 for the loss of 7 wickets before Imad Wasim and Thisara Perera both scored over 40 runs and put together an 80-run partnership to take their side to a fighting total. Hasan Ali and Mukidul Islam claimed two wickets each with Tanvir Islam and Abu Hider chipping in with one each but they will be disappointed that they were unable to wrap up the inning earlier. It did not prove to be an issue though as Litton Das got them off to a flying start.
Comilla Victorians got off to a quick start and managed to put on a good opening partnership of 56 runs in 42 balls. Mohammad Rizwan was run out due to a misunderstanding but Imrul Kayes came out to provide Litton Das good support. The skipper was dismissed by Sharifullah and Mashrafe Mortaza came back on to dismiss Litton Das on 70 of 42 balls. The skipper of Sylhet Strikers claimed the wicket of Khushdil Shah soon after and when Jaker Ali got run out on the very next ball there were a few jitters in the Comilla Victorians' dressing room. Johnson Charles and Mosaddek Hossain managed to keep their cool though and helped their team get across the finish line.
This was meant to be an easy run chase for the reigning champions but they made long work of it! In the end, they managed to get over the finish line and win successive games to get their tournament rolling. They have also got revenge for their away loss against Sylhet Strikers as they condemn them to their first loss of the season. Litton Das had taken the hosts into a comfortable position and they were well ahead of the eight ball but a stutter towards the end gave the visitors a glimmer of hope. Comilla Victorians win by 5 wickets with an over left to play and are now on course to hunt for the top two spots on the table.

Mashrafe Mortaza To Johnson Charles
Full and at the stumps, Johnson Charles clears his front leg to go down the ground but gets an inside edge back onto the pads. The ball rolls to the right of the bowler and batters cross for a single.
Strategic Time-Out! This should be an easy run chase hereafter for the reigning champions as the base has already been set up by the top-order batters. Sylhet Strikers are staring at their first defeat this season or do we have a surprise on our hands? We will find out shortly.
