Ariful Haque is the Man of the Match. That's all we have from this game. We now move from the top of the table to the bottom of the table as Rajshahi take on Chittagong. We'll be back with that game shortly, and hope you will too. Thanks for joining us.

"I think we did really well in both departments," says Khulna captain Mahmudullah. "We lost our way a little in the middle but Ariful and Carlos Brathwaite pulled us back. With the power Arif and Carlos have, you should always give them a chance to go big in the top five. Hopefully we can bring this momentum with us into the Qualifiers. I think the bowlers were quite sharp today."

"We need to rectify our mistakes," says Comilla captain Tamim Iqbal. "We can't think it was just one bad game. We need to make sure we don't repeat the same mistakes. I think we left too much for too late. We could have batted better in the middle period. I'm hopeful Jos gets a good innings before the semis and that should do us good."

4.30pm That match was more one-sided than it seems on surface. This was always going to be not the easiest surface to bat on, so it's not altogether a surprise that they struggled to chase down 174. Comilla will rue their bowling and fielding performance because they shouldn't have been chasing this high a target in the first place. They leaked easy runs in the slog overs through loose fielding and shoddy bowling and they have paid the price for it. Khulna rise to second on the table with this win. Comilla retain their top position despite the defeat but are only trailed by Khulna by one point.

Abu Jayed to Samuels, FOUR, and a four to finish off. Expensive last over but too little too late. Gets the front leg out of the way and hammers a drive through long-off
