Match result: Khulna Tigers won by 6 wickets
Innings summary: Khulna 172/4 in 19.3 overs
Mahmudul Hasan Joy 64 | Habibur Rahman 30
Mohammad Saifuddin 4/20
Khulna end their dismal campaign on a winning note. This match had nothing riding on it for Fortune and this loss does not change anything.
Chasing 170 Andrew Balbirnie got his side to a good start despite losing Sabbir and Shai Hope for low scores.
But the defining innings came from Habibur Rahman who came in at the fall after the 4th wicket and smashed a 9-ball 30 to take his side home.
The penultimate over changed things as Ebadot gave away 17 and Mehidy could not defend 9 off the last.
Mahmudul Hasan was a treat to watch as he made 64 and anchored the chase. He was the one who batted sensibly and saw off all the main threats of the opposition.
Mahmudul was severe on Khaled who had an expensive day with the ball.
Khulna with the win end move up from their last spot and finish 5th on the points table.
Stay tuned for the post-match presentation....
Habibur! You beauty! What a brilliant cameo he has played to give his side the win.
19.3 Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Habibur Rahman, WHAT A WAY TO FINISH IT OFF! Length delivery, Habibur slogs it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. SIX!! What a clean blow to win a thriller with three balls to go!
19.2 Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Habibur Rahman, OH DAMN!! DROPPED. Full outside-off, Habibur goes for a slog-sweep but he top-edges it towards deep mid-wicket. The fielder in the deep unbelievably drops a sitter and the ball rolls onto the fence. FOUR! What a hiccup!
19.1 Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Mahmudul Hasan Joy, dragged short outside-off, Mahmudul rocks back and pulls it on the bounce to deep mid-wicket. Single taken
Habibur Rahman with two massive sixes and now 9 needed off the final over. Khulna have to win this from here.
