Faf du Plessis, the skipper of Bangla Tigers, says that they are playing really well right now. Says the bowlers are doing a brilliant job and then the batters finish the job. Adds that he hopes to rest someone tomorrow as well, as the games are coming thick and fast.
Hazratullah Zazai is the Player of the Match, he says that the pitch was good and they got the advantage with the toss and when 146 was chased down easily, the pitch was good. Adds that when you have someone like Charles at the other end, it gets a bit easy for you as well.
Stay tuned for the Presentation.
Another day, another loss for The Chennai Braves and the wait for the victory continues for them. After posting a below-par score, their bowlers had very little to play with and they failed to even give themselves a slight chance. Walker found a way to get the breakthrough but it was too late as only 8 runs were needed to win at that time. They are officially out of the playoffs race now.
Half of Bangla Tigers job was done by the bowlers and Hazratullah Zazai and Johnson Charles just had to continue with the momentum. They did it very well as they continued their bright form and chased the total with 25 balls to spare. Yet another match-winning performance from Zazai, how impressive he has been for Bangla Tigers. As Faf du Plessis told, players are putting their hands up and it was Zazai today.
Bangla Tigers take the two points and replace Team Abu Dhabi on top of the table as they finish the innings pretty quickly, helping their net run rate. For The Chennai Braves, they are out of the playoffs race as they failed to open their points account after playing seven games.

Roman Walker to Will Jacks ,FOUR BYES! This time it's the quicker short ball, outside off again. Will Jacks charges towards it but gets beaten. Mohammad Shahzad leaps up but the ball flies over him and races into the fence. Just 4 runs are needed now off 30 balls.
Will Jacks is the new man in.

Roman Walker to Johnson Charles ,OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The commentator's curse come into play as the on air commentator asks if it will be yet another 10-wicket victory. Nice bowled slower one, into the surface and outside off from Roman Walker. Johnson Charles tries to reach it but gets undone by the lack of pace. The ball pops up off the gloves and Mohammad Shahzad takes a dolly behind the stumps.
