That's it for the first game of the day. We have another one coming up. We will be there. Keep following Sportskeeda for more. For now, bye bye.
Yasir Ali | Khulna Tigers captain: It is about doing the simple things right. Today, Tamim and Joy did very well. The wicket was not easy for the new batter, so I didn't want to throw it away.
Mahmudul Hasan Joy | Player of the Match: I needed some runs and happy to have got them. I didn't play well last 5-6 months. Wicket was pretty good, I was trying to keep it simple. Tamim told me to stay on the wicket and go after the loose balls.
Shuvagata Hom | Chattogram Challengers captain: Yes, the total we set up was not enough. We should have scored more runs. Our bowlers did their best and although our fielders did well, we could not quite make it last. Consistency is missing and we will look to do better in our next match.
Much-needed win for Khulna. They got it closer than they would have wanted but get the job done.
The chase was headlined by the 104-run stand between Tamim and Hasan Joy after a wicket in the first over. Both batters took their time but then boundaries came regularly as they opened out.
Tamim in a bid to finish it off quickly, fell and that led to Chattogram getting back. Nihaduzzaman taking both of them and it got close at the 2nd strategy break.
But Yasir Ali and Azam Khan struck boundaries at crucial moments and the former finished it off with a biggie.
Khulna join Chattogram on 4 points and they have played a game less than today's opponents.
Stay tuned for the post-match presentation...

20.0

10 off the over and 5 needed off the last. Can Chattogram pull off something out of the hat against two big hitters?
