That's it from the coverage. Hope you enjoyed it, until next time, this is Pragadeesh signing off
Mashrafe Mortaza | Sylhet captain: It's about momentum in this format. We are going alright, but we have to play again tomorrow. Not easy. After the first over we had a chat, it was a good wicket. The ball wasn't gripping, so we thought we could restrict them to 150-160 and chase it down.
Towhid Hridoy | Player of the Match: Really good, but it would have been better if I had finished the match. Rahim, Mashrafe - they support me. I just try to play my role.
Imrul Kayes | Comilla captain: We did not have enough on the board. We lost too many wickets in the powerplay. Jaker batted really well, congrats to him. Wicket was OK, seam was fine, slower ball bouncers were gripping. We have a few days rest and we will sit and talk about what to do.
Sylhet Strikers won by 5 wickets Towhid Hridoy 56(37) | Jaker Ali 57(43) Mohammad Amir 2-22 | Mohammad Nabi 2-28
It's three wins on the trot for the Strikers as they were brilliant in all departments of the game today. They restricted Comilla Victorians to a chaseable total but the start wasn't convincing for the Strikers as they lost Mohammad Haris early, while Shanto scored a couple of boundaries and a maximum but he couldn't convert it into a big knock. Hridoy rose to the occasion and played some stunning shots to keep the scoreboard ticking. He stuck at one end and kept toying with the bowlers, while Hasan looked good in his short stay but Nabi got rid of him.
It could've gotten tricky after Hasan's wicket but Rahim's experience came in handy as he anchored the innings well. Hridoy brought up his half-century but Khushdil Shah ended his brilliant knock before Nabi dismissed Thisara Perera. Hridoy did the damage and because of his knock, things became too easy for the Strikers as they reached the target with 14 balls to spare

15.6 Mohammad Nabi to Thisara Perera, OUT! Quicker through the air on a good length and turning away, Perera tries to slog over wide long on after clearing his front leg but ends up skiing it. The fielder at long-on moves to his left, keeps his eyes under the ball and pouches it safely
