The Kings enter the BPL's top four with eight points in seven games while the Victorians are in third with the same equation in their favour.
What entertainment. First the stifle, then a special century from Evans to get them to a competitive total. Comilla were in the hunt, then imploded. Mustafizur, on the face of a late onslaught from Afridi, exhibited his mastery over the cutters and allowed Rabbi to reap the rewards at the other end.
Laurie Evans is the Man of the Match. Tough coming here, my first time. Good to get an opportunity. Nice to share a partnership with him. It came a lot more consistently when we were here last time. Towards the end is where my strenghts lie, where I can put seamers under pressure.
