8.48 pm Is 191 enough? Definitely not a bad total, but Dhaka could've finished with much more if it wasn't for Shoaib Malik and Hasan Ali with the ball. Should be a nail-biting chase. We'll be back in just a bit with the second innings (and discussing more on T20 cricket). Time for another cup of coffee.

Mohammad Saifuddin to Narine, 2 runs, full on middle, driven down the ground to long off. They go for the hara-kiri second run and they complete it because the bowler was late at flicking the bails off. Dhaka finish on 191 for 7!

Anon06: "IMHO, the CPL is the best league simply because we get to see all of the WI players compete against each other and the more local ones with their own flavour. Then the BBL, then the BPL because the lesser known names create more unpredictability and excitement. Then the IPL. The IPL is simply too long and becomes mundane after a couple of weeks. The PSL though, has ways to go before it gets mentioned. Don't attack me. Just my opinion."

Mohammad Saifuddin to Narine, 2 runs, full on off stump, backs away and lifted over cover. They consider taking the third but stop
19.4

Mohammad Saifuddin to Narine, FOUR, low full toss on leg stump, elegantly flicked off his toes past short fine leg for another boundary
19.3
1
Mohammad Saifuddin to Jahurul Islam, 1 run, full outside off, batsman tries to be cheeky by walking across and play a paddle. Hits his pad but impact is outside off

Sreenath : "Game changing over by hassan Ali..what would have been over 200 is now definitely under... It will serve as a moral satisfaction for comilla "

19.2
1
Mohammad Saifuddin to Narine, 1 run, muscled to long off. Full ball on middle

AlistairDiamond: "Is that the match-saving penultimate over?!" -- Why not! Two runs and two wickets off the 19th. How rare is that

19.1
1
Mohammad Saifuddin to Jahurul Islam, 1 run, short outside off, pulled from over his head towards square leg. Only a single

Saad: "PSL anyone? -- True, but the feel of playing at home is lacking in the UAE. That's why CPL and BPL win over the PSL on those two aspects. The final was electrifying though. Hopefully we can see more franchise cricket in Pakistan over the next couple of years

1
Hasan Ali to Jahurul Islam, 1 run, short and wide outside off, dragged towards deep midwicket with a cross-batted shot. An exciting over

Divy: "Boom Boom Lala! After a scintillating hundred in England, he's showing his magic in Bangladesh. Miss him at the International stage though. Guy made the game exciting for sure, with whatever he did on the field, even eating a cricket ball at times!" -- just too late, buddy!

Hasan Ali to Shahid Afridi, OUT, Hasan gets his fellow Pakistani! Afridi has to go! Pulled but top edged to Tamim at cover. He's on a hat-trick. The extra bounce fetches Hasan Ali the wicket

Shahid Afridi c Tamim Iqbal b Hasan Ali 30 (19b 0x4 4x6) SR: 157.89

MASHid: "In the rank of order, among the t20 tournaments, would BPL be after IPL in terms of excitement, fam frenzy and quality?" -- The BPL and CPL are up there in excitement and fan frenzy, but Australia's Big Bash League is of a much better quality than both those leagues. My opinion, of course.

18.4
W
Hasan Ali to Mosaddek Hossain, OUT, waist high full toss on middle stump, pulled but straight down deep midwicket's throat! The umpire wants to have a look at the height, but it looks just about okay

ViruKaFan: "WI batsmen are bullying here, why cant they do this on regular basis at Int'l stage?" -- Evin Lewis and Gayle have been prolific, even in England. Pollard doesn't play T20Is often enough.

Bravo to Mosaddek Hossain, 1 run, good length outside off, pokes at it. Trickles away to short third man

Saahil Sagheer: "Boom Boom makes the run rate graph look like an ECG report""

Bravo to Shahid Afridi, SIX, innovative, but the same result! Short and wide outside off to send the ball away from the batsman, forcing Afridi to reach at it. Carves it over long off. Six more!
17.1
6
Bravo to Shahid Afridi, SIX, what a shot! Pulled furiously off the front foot. Off the middle of the bat and flies over deep midwicket. Such great connection and he starts the over off with a six. Perfect for the batting team

Hasan Ali to Shahid Afridi, 3 runs, carved over point! Full and wide outside off and smacked over the infield. The slice ensured it cleared the 30-year circle
16.1
4b
Hasan Ali to Shahid Afridi, 4 byes, short just outside off, extra bounce and the batsman can't glance this to third man. But it doesn't matter! The keeper can't collect either and it flies away for four byes. Freaky

Kapil: "If not for that Lewis's incorrect decision, Dhaka may have struggled to get to 150 on this tricky track. I reckon if they can get Afridi now, they may end up chasing less than 170" -- you're being very kind to Comilla by saying 170. More like 185, I think
