That's it. Thank you for joining us! On behalf of my co-commentator Ninaad and scorer Paras, I, Sidharth, say goodbye! Cheers!
Tamim Iqbal (Fortune Barishal Captain): "The position we were in, we need to learn to finish games which is very important. In big games you need to face these kinds of situations.
Everybody's chipping in. If you see our record over the matches, everyday someone else is performing. Mehidy's use is a tactical thing. Today he bowled 2 overs and got us an important wicket. He is a very important batter for us. Questions will be always there. When I batted him at the top, people asked me why you are not batting him at 7. When I am using him at 7, they say use him at the top."

Kyle Mayers (Player of the Match): "This is a great ground full of memories. Last time I was here I collected the man of the match trophy as well so happy to be back here and perform.
Rahim's communication was clear. He is a busy player. He got me running between the wickets. It was a good partnership. I really enjoyed batting with him. He took the pressure off me and took us to a good total.
I normally get a bit of swing early. In the warmups, the ball is doing a bit. So its just for me to land the ball in the right areas and I did that. I got the advantage of batting first realizing how the wicket was playing and I used it to my advantage."

Mohammad Mithun (Sylhet Strikers Skipper): "We didn't make the most of the powerplay. Lost too many wickets. Credit to (Benny) Howell and (Ariful) Haque, but we couldn't finish it. The batters didn't step up. We need to improve our batting in the first six overs. We will return stronger."
16:28 IST and 16:58 Local Time | That's it. Fortune Barishal win by 18 runs. Mohammad Saifuddin holds his nerve, hits the right lengths and seals the deal for his team.
Defending 183, Fortune Barishal were off to an impressive beginning as Harry Tector and Najmul Hossain Shanto had no answers to Kyle Mayers’ inswinging deliveries. Sylhet Strikers lost wickets at regular intervals and were 40/6 at one stage. It seemed Sylhet Strikers wouldn’t even bat out their full quota of 20 overs. However, Benny Howell and Araful Haque brought them back into the contest with a 108-run stand. But Obed McCoy removed Ariful in his final over, while Howell fell to Saifuddin, and that ended any chance of a successful chase. With the victory, Fortune Barishal picked up two more points.
Earlier, after opting to bat first, Fortune Barishal went past 180, thanks to Mushfiqur Rahim’s half-century and Kyle Mayers’ blistering 48. Tanzim Hasan Sakib grabbed three scalps. Rahim and Mayers played freely, but other batters found the going tough. Luckily, Rahim and Mayers’ fifty-plus partnership guided Fortune Barishal to a match-winning total.

Finally, the scalp Fortune Barishal had been looking for. Howell goes. That should be the game.
19.2 M Saifuddin to B Howell
W GONE! Howell is finally dismissed! Short and wide outside the off stump, a slower delivery. Rocks back and looks to hit it towards deep point. There is a fielder placed there exactly for this stroke and takes the catch.
