RJ
All
19.1
W
Junaid Khan to Sami, out Bowled!! Cleaned up. Fourth wicket for Junaid. Once again he keeps it plain and simple. Full and straight, Sami missed the wild swing across the line and the leg-stump is uprooted. They need to get Franklin on strike. Sami b Junaid Khan 3(4)
18.1
W
Brathwaite to Mehidy Hasan, out Bowled!! Tries to be cheeky and pays the price. Walks across his stumps to play the scoop, Brathwaite keeps it simple and hits the base of leg-stump. The Kings are falling apart and need Franklin to step up and take them to the 180-mark. Mehidy Hasan b Brathwaite 3(3)
17.3
6
Junaid Khan to Franklin, SIX, oh my! What timing on that. It was a mere chip and the ball cleared the fence with ease. Full and homing in on middle, Franklin leans forward and lifts it over long-on
17.1
W
Junaid Khan to Sammy, out Caught by A Haque!! No fireworks from the skipper. Junaid spears in a low full toss which Sammy tries his best to get underneath of, he whips it towards deep mid-wicket and Ariful is once again called into action. This time he runs to his left, covers good ground before diving to pouch the catch. Third wicket for Junaid. Sammy c A Haque b Junaid Khan 3(5)
15.5
W
Abu Jayed to Rahim, out Caught by A Haque!! That's the end of Rahim. He had to go for it and perishes for the team's cause. Abu Jayed continues to have a good tournament - leading wicket-taker now. The slower delivery that deceives Rahim as he attempts a slog sweep, the top-edge skies towards deep mid-wicket and Ariful clings on to a good catch. Kept his eyes on the ball and pocketed it comfortably. Rahim c A Haque b Abu Jayed 55(33) [4s-4 6s-3]

Abu Jayed to Rahim, FOUR, excellent batting. He charged down the wicket and was welcomed by a short delivery, he adjusted quickly and slapped the cut over backward point, couple of bounces into fence
14.5
Afif Hossain to Franklin, 2 runs, very poor umpiring. Franklin ambled across for the second run and instead of ground his bat, he plonked his foot in, just in. The square leg umpire was not convinced about the run-out appeal but with Mahmudullah pleading, he succumbs and sends it upstairs. Flatter delivery that was punched to deep extra cover and Franklin was a bit casual on the second run
14.4
F
Afif Hossain to Rahim, 1 run, fifty for Rahim. Kings needed the senior players to put their hands up and Rahim has done that. A 30-ball fifty and he has to now take the total to a massive one. Flighted on off, Rahim sweeps it to deep mid-wicket
14.3
6
Afif Hossain to Rahim, SIX, that is more like Rahim. Goes to his favourite shot - the slog sweep and nails it to perfection. Fetched it from outside off and hammered it over deep mid-wicket
11.3
6
Shafiul to Rahim, SIX, lovely! Slower delivery and Rahim has picked the bones out of that one. He sinks to one knee and plays Shafiul like a spinner, slog swept over cow corner for a maximum
10.1
W
Afif Hossain to Dwayne Smith, out Caught by Hossain Shanto!! The partnership has been broken. Afif strikes with his first delivery and sends back the dangerous Smith. Fired in on the stumps, Smith kneels down to play the slog sweep, ends up dragging it to deep backward square, where Shanto takes his second catch. Dwayne Smith c Hossain Shanto b Afif Hossain 62(36) [4s-7 6s-4]
9.1
4
Brathwaite to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, can't bowl short at that pace, sat up nicely for Smith, who pivots and murders the pull through mid-wicket. Four more and a good start to the over
8.4
F
Prasanna to Dwayne Smith, SIX, fifty for Smith. What a way to announce himself in the Bangladesh Premier League. First game and he's raced to a 29-ball fifty. Prasanna floats it up outside off, Smith takes the invitation and sends it sailing over wide long-off
8.3
6
Prasanna to Dwayne Smith, SIX, long hop and Smith deposits it into the stands. It was not a real half-tracker but Smith was quick to pick the length, transfered his weight and muscled it over deep mid-wicket
8
4
Brathwaite to Rahim, FOUR, there's the boundary for the over. Fraction short and outside off, Rahim laces the cut past backward point and the timing on that was equisite as he beat sweeper with ease
7.5
Brathwaite to Dwayne Smith, 1 run, 50-run stand. A much-needed one for Kings. Both batsmen shake hands. Smith shuffles across and helps the short of length delivery with a pull to deep backward square
6.3
6
Shafiul to Dwayne Smith, SIX, wow! This is clean hitting. Not the length Shafiul can bowl to Smith. Full on off and middle, Smith does not get his front leg in line and that gives him the freedom to extend his arms, slotted over long-on
6.1
4
Shafiul to Rahim, FOUR, fuller and not much wrong with the delivery, Rahim opens the bat face on the drive and slices it square on the off-side. The man sweeping had no chance to stop that
6
4
Brathwaite to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, streaky! But Smith won't mind. Costly first over from Brathwaite, 15 off it. Slower delivery and Smith gave himself room to drive it through cover, the inside edge almost shaved the leg-stump
5.5
4
Brathwaite to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, very small margin for errors. Back of length on middle, does not rise much but Smith swivels to pull it through backward square, no chance for the fielder in the deep
5.2
6
Brathwaite to Dwayne Smith, SIX, "catch it" shouted Brathwaite. Not sure if he meant the cameraman. Full and in the slot, Smith clears his front leg and swings through the line, all the way over long-on
4.2
6
Shafiul to Rahim, SIX, Rahim has come out with a positive intent. Makes a bit of room and takes a step out to meet the ball on a fullish length, goes through the line and lofts it back over Shafiul for a maximum
4
4
Junaid Khan to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, this time Smith has no problems in picking the slower delivery. Read it early and smashed it straight of mid-off, didn't bother to move. He knew that was struck well
3.1
4
Junaid Khan to Rahim, FOUR, Rahim is off and running. Junaid once again starts the over with a boundary. Errs in line and drifts onto the pads, glanced away past short fine leg
3
W
Abu Jayed to Zakir Hasan, out Caught by Prasanna!! Stunner! Prasanna might have just pulled off the catch of the tournament. Zakir like DBD goes without opening his account. On a length and angled in, Zakir heaves across the line and got it high on the bat, the ball seemed to have gone over the mid-wicket fielder, but Prasanna runs back to cover good distance and just when the ball seemed out of reach, he dives full length to pull off a one-handed stunner. Celebrates it in his typical style - doing the dab. Zakir Hasan c Prasanna b Abu Jayed 0(2)
2.4
4
Abu Jayed to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, that is his region. Not short enough but Smith is onto it in a flash. Moves quickly back into the crease and heaves it past mid-wicket. Not timed but it will fetch him four
2.2
4
Abu Jayed to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, back to back boundaries for Smith. Abu overpitches and pays the price, Smith drives with minimal footwork and beats cover's dive to the right
2.1
4
Abu Jayed to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, width offered and Smith cashes in. He's too good a batsman to miss out on that. Carves the drive through backward point and collects his first runs of the game
1.5
W
Junaid Khan to Bell-Drummond, out Bowled!! Two in quicker time and Kings are in trouble. Bell-Drummond goes without troubling the scorers. Not short enough to play the cut, but the Kent batsman goes for it, the lack of bounce does him in and the inside edge ricochets onto the stumps. Bell-Drummond b Junaid Khan 0(2)
1.3
W
Junaid Khan to Mominul, out Caught by Hossain Shanto!! There's the early breakthrough for Titans. Short of length and hint of nibble outside off, Mominul is rooted to the crease as he tries to force one through the off-side, the outside edge carries at a good height to Shanto at slip. Mominul c Hossain Shanto b Junaid Khan 5(5) [4s-1]
1.1
4
Junaid Khan to Mominul, FOUR, overpitched and Junaid is welcomed with a boundary. The line was outside off and Mominul pressed across to drive it through cover, no need to run for those
