Anamul Haque says as a team they played well and executed the plans perfectly. Reckons he just asked the players to play with freedom and confident. Tells they will recover now and are looking forward to the next match.
Wayne Parnell is the Player of the Match. He says he feels fine, he is traveling a lot lately but is happy to win. Adds he knows the conditions here well and just kept it simple. Credits the way Afif Hossain and Shai Hope batted. Tells the old school Test cricket lengths works and to keep it basic was the word around.
...Presentation time...
Taskin Ahmed says around 125 runs on the board was never enough. Adds in this format, they have to be one step ahead of the opposition and reckons he learned a lot while captaining for the first time. Shares they could have done well in both departments in this tournament.
Durdanto Dhaka are nothing but out of the tournament now. As said before, they lacked runs to play with and depended too much on Shoriful Islam and Taskin Ahmed! The others didn't step up when it mattered the most.
A win means Khulna Tigers keep their playoff hopes alive. The good thing was they chased it without wasting much time which helps them to better their net run rate. Durdanto Dhaka were clearly short of runs. It was a good pitch to bat but they kept on losing wickets regularly and no one came up with a big score. Mosaddek Hossain and Chaturanga de Silva hit few runs in the back end to give a competitive total but Khulna Tigers were up for the task. They lost Anamul Haque on the first ball but the stand between Shai Hope and Parvez Hossain Emon killed the game. Afif Hossain then later played a quick innings to chase it down with ease.

OUT! CHOPPED ON! Something to cheer for Dhaka! Short and around off, Joy tries to pull but bottom edges and it rolls back onto his pads and it deflects onto the stumps.
