Dhaka Capitals would have loved a score over 200 but this is still a pretty big one and defendable. They lost Tanzid Hasan early on but Litton Das and Munim Shahriar posted a 100 plus stand to take Sylhet Strikers out of the equation. Both scored fifty with Das being the aggressor but fell in quick succession. Sylhet Strikers could have pulled things back during that time but Thisara Perera and Sabbir Rahman played a quick fire cameo to bolster their chance to win their first match. Stay tuned for the chase.
Dhaka Capitals cross the 190-mark but Sylhet Strikers need to believe they can chase it down with all the dew around. However, Ariful Haque was a frustrated captain throughout the innings. There were plenty of freebies, drop catches and chances not taken. The bowlers did not bowl according to the plan and paid a hefty price for it. Rahkeem Cornwall was the pick of the lot as he was the most economical and ended with three wickets but for others, it was a day to forget.

SIX! HUGE! Drops it short but sits nicely for Rahman who pulls it sweetly over square leg for a biggie. With all the dew around, its getting hard for the bowlers to grip the ball.
