Chattogram Challengers beat Dhaka Dominators by 8 wickets
That is it from this game then! BPL action resumes on Monday. Two games on that day too. The action begins at 1300 IST (0730 GMT). Till then, goodbye and take care!
Afif Hossain, MAN OF THE MATCH, he says he was looking to stay there till the end and just try and take his side home. Adds the wicket is usually good and with the dew, it got better. Mentions he wants to enjoy his batting in any situation.
Dhaka Dominators bowled well at the start courtesy Taskin Ahmed and Amir Hamza but as the game went on, the ball got more slippery and it just kept getting tough. The wicket also got flatter and in the end, we feel the score just was not enough. Overall, they were just outplayed by the hosts!
That is a superb chase! A very well-calculated one! 159 was a challenging score on this surface but they have chased it down with easy in the end! They did lose a wicket early but Usman Khan and Afif Hossain steadied the ship. Usman Khan fell but Afif Hossain continued. He along with Darwish Rasooli continued the good work. Darwish Rasooli was struggling but Afif Hossain scored freely to take the pressure off him. Dhaka Dominators did well to get back in the game towards the end but that is whn Darwish Rasooli got going and finished the game in no time.
