Thanks for joining us. Not quite a thriller, which we hope wouldn't be the case tomorrow. Cheers
Nuwan Kulasekara is the Man of the Match for his spell of 1 for 8 off his three overs
Mortaza: The win was more important, but we had a good chance to push out net run-rate too. But overall, I'm happy with the points. Kulasekara bowled really well, as did Zaidi, who has been doing well. Our bowling has some variations. The batting's good, but I felt we missed out. Hopefully in future, if we get games like these, we will push to finish it earlier.
Mahmudullah: We need to sort our batting out. Bowlers have done their job. Taijul bowled really well, but batsmen need to work on their plans and technique.
Bashar: "We've got to admit that BB's top order have not produced the runs that they are supposed to make in all 3 games. Mostly, the bowlers saved them."
Smiles all over. Barisal could have been in the game had they made close to 120, but with just close to 90, it was never on even if you took into account the variable bounce and slow turn. Cooper and Samuels share a joke, Comilla's red flags are out in full force and both teams walk off shaking hands. Join us shortly for the presentation

1
Al-Amin Hossain to Shuvagata Hom, 1 run, pulled handsomely towards deep midwicket. Game, set and match for the Victorians. Stroll in the end, but wonder if there was a case of finishing it off a little early to boost their net-run-rate
17.5
2
Al-Amin Hossain to Shuvagata Hom, 2 runs, eased wide of the point fielder, Cooper at it again but a lazy effort results in two easy runs. Scores level
17.4
1
Al-Amin Hossain to Samuels, 1 run, crashed off the back foot to deep cover again
17.3
0
Al-Amin Hossain to Samuels, no run, done in by the slower bouncer, looks to pull but too early, on the second bounce to Brendan Taylor
17.2
0
Al-Amin Hossain to Samuels, no run, top work at midwicket. It was short outside off, Samuels backed away to go over cover but changed his stroke and swung to the on side where the fielder was on the ball straightaway, diving to his left to stop that
17.1
2
Al-Amin Hossain to Samuels, 2 runs, too short and he backs away to slap it into the gap at sweeper cover, Cooper comes around and hurls a rocket throw to the keeper, by which time the second has been easily completed
