Kamrul Islam to Reece, FOUR, the modern day bail out stroke! Premeditated paddle scoop attempted by Reece as he gets inside the line. It is a full toss and it goes off the inside edge down the leg-side. Right between short fine leg and the keeper

Kamrul Islam to Raza, out Caught by Andre Fletcher!! No, he cannot! Fine catch to end what has been a sensational innings from Raza. Spectacular stuff! Makes room to loft this over cover but slices it squarer. Fletcher at sweeper cover runs around it to take a fine tumbling catch. A standing ovation from everyone in the ground. What a knock it was! Raza c Andre Fletcher b Kamrul Islam 95(45) [4s-9 6s-6]

Bresnan to Raza, SIX, that's H-U-G-E! You don't bowl full tosses at a man who is on a rampage. That's what Bresnan does and pays a heavy price for it. Raza accepts the gift and sends it plenty of rows deep at the mid-wicket fence. It's a 113 meter six! Whoa! Surely, surely, that century is now a formality. He deserves it

Bresnan to Najibullah, FOUR, Zadran's turn to find the fence! Poor bowling really, fuller ball with mid-off in the ring. He stands still and hammers it past the fielder who could barely move

6
Abul Hasan to Raza, SIX, and another one! Raza storm here in Chittagong! Backs away to this shorter length and goes through with his lofted stroke. Elevation and the distance both obtained as he clears long-off with ease. No stopping him today
17.5

Abul Hasan to Raza, SIX, fetch that in the crowd! Raza continues to go berserk. This is on the shorter length and he has enjoyed that zone all throughout tonight. Stays back and dismisses the pull over deep mid-wicket. What a player! Highest T20 score for him now
17.4
4
Abul Hasan to Raza, FOUR, wow, what a blow! Raza is in that mood where he can do anything. So he decides to go over the bowler's head with a stunning lofted stroke. Wasn't that bad a ball but he is seeing them really well right now. Struck it as straight as an arrow
17

Bresnan to Raza, FOUR, KABOOM! Spoke too soon, didn't I? Another slower ball, Raza has had enough of these and he backs away to make room. Stands tall to blast this over a leaping extra cover fielder. Nobody in the deep
15.4
4
Kamrul Islam to Raza, FOUR, excellent batting! This wasn't a bad ball to be honest but Raza is in that mood to punish anything and everything. Makes room a bit to this shorter length and essays the late cut. Does it brilliantly and gets it past short third man
15.3
4
Kamrul Islam to Raza, FOUR, bad ball! Friendly full toss on Raza's hips, he casually drop kicks it over backward square leg. Nobody in the deep behind square on the leg-side and that races away
14.5
F
T Islam to Raza, FOUR, spoils what was appearing to be a good over with a freebie! A full toss and Raza won't let those go unpunished. Cracks it through the covers and gets it well wide of sweeper cover. 50 up for Raza! What a knock this has been!

W
Kamrul Islam to van Zyl, out Caught by Nasir Hossain!! Rabbi breaks the partnership! Some respite for the Sixers. They needed this badly. It's van Zyl who departs. Tries to go big down the ground but probably got it off the slice. Nasir at long-off judges the skier to perfection to complete an easy catch. Handy knock from the South African. van Zyl c Nasir Hossain b Kamrul Islam 40(26) [4s-4 6s-2]
13.1

Kamrul Islam to Raza, FOUR, streaky, but Raza will take it. Almost a yorker on the stumps, Raza backs away and squeezes it off the inside edge. The ball evades the stumps and runs awy into the fine leg fence
12.5
4
Abul Hasan to Raza, FOUR, he is peppering the field everywhere! This is off the outside edge although he did try a horizontal bat stroke. Sees the length full and makes room to drive square through the off-side. The edge beats a diving short third man
12.2
6
Abul Hasan to Raza, SIX, oh boy! Raza is in the mood alright! Tremendous blow into the stands at deep mid-wicket, 104 metres! Short ball and it sat up nicely for him, clobbers the pull by standing tall. As nonchalant as you like
11.4
6
Ghulam Mudassar to Raza, SIX, change of angle doesn't work! Full and around off, Raza stays put in the crease and clobbers it over extra cover. Flat maximum! What a gem this is turning to be from the Zimbabwean. 50-run stand is up off just 28 balls
11.3
4
Ghulam Mudassar to Raza, FOUR, excellent batting! Angling across the right-hander, Raza backs away to make room and lifts this over cover. Placement is perfect and it's another boundary to the total
11.1

Ghulam Mudassar to van Zyl, FOUR, up and over! Sees mid-off up in the ring and lofts it cleanly over the fielder. Clean strike, one bounce to the ropes
10.5
6
Nasir Hossain to van Zyl, SIX, what a strike! Chittagong are moving into top gear with this partnership. Probably the best shot van Zyl ahs played tonight. Makes room by exposing his sticks and launches this inside out lofted stroke over extra cover. All the way!
10.3
6
Nasir Hossain to Raza, SIX, this has been caned! No half measures with this shot. Sees the flight and dances down the track to loft it effortlessly over long-off. Top stroke from Raza!
10.2

Nasir Hossain to Raza, FOUR, not where he intended but he'll take it! Flatter and outside off, Raza plays for the non-existent turn as he flashes a drive. Off the outer half and beats short third man easily
9.5
Kamrul Islam to Raza, 1 run, nearly a blinder! Short in length and Raza nails the pull but Nasir at mid-wicket times the leap brilliantly to get a hand on it. Such catches either stick or they don't. It didn't this time unfortunately for him but an excellent effort nevertheless. Saved a certain boundary
9.2

Kamrul Islam to van Zyl, FOUR, clobbered away! van Zyl is slowly growing in confidence. Freebies like these help as well. Shortish and you cannot bowl that length on this pitch. Swivels to nail the pull over mid-wicket. Picks the gap to perfection
7.1
W
Abul Hasan to Ronchi, out Caught by Bresnan!! Huge wicket! Ronchi has to go after getting off to a fine start. Just the scalp the Sixers wanted. Not a wicket-taking ball by any means, short and wide, Ronchi tries the upper cut but only manages to find Bresnan at third man. The big England boy doesn't drop these. Major setback for the hosts. Bowling change works instantly for the Sixers. Ronchi c Bresnan b Abul Hasan 41(25) [4s-6 6s-1]

T Islam to van Zyl, FOUR, super batting! He is anticipating the shorter length and rocks back in a jiffy, slaps the cut to the sweeper cover fence. Momentum for Chittagong now
6.5
6
T Islam to van Zyl, SIX, that's big! First confident stroke from van Zyl. Gets the chance to free his arms and with a clean bat swing, he clubs this length ball over long-on. Tremendous blow!

T Islam to van Zyl, FOUR, streaky runs but van Zyl will take it! Sees the width on offer, throws his bat at it and gets the stroke off his outer half. Nobody at third man
5.1
4
Bresnan to Ronchi, FOUR, no stopping Ronchi! He continues to play these pick up shots with elan. Moves across the stumps a bit and lifts it easily over backward square leg. There is a man at deep square leg but he cannot do much about this
3.5
W
Bresnan to Anamul, out Caught by Gunathilaka!! Bresnan strikes! The short ball works and Haque has to go. Goes for the pull but only manages to sky it towards deep backward square leg. Gunathilaka judges it well to take a good tumbling catch. These wickets are setting Chittagong back despite Ronchi's antics at the other end. Deja vu all over again for him as he sees this. Anamul c Gunathilaka b Bresnan 3(4)

T Islam to Ronchi, FOUR, excellent batting! Ronchi continues to create room by backing away a touch and this time goes inside out over extra cover. Sublime!

W
Nasir Hossain to Soumya Sarkar, out Stumped!! What a waste of a wicket! Sarkar will be kicking himself when he sees the replay of this one. Backs away to make room but only gets a bottom edge on the bounce to the keeper. Then, almost as if in a trance, he steps out with the momentum and Nurul Hasan is sharp to whip off the bails. The replays confirm the comical dismissal. Sarkar didn't spot the ball, perhaps but that is amateurish to say the least. Soumya Sarkar st Nurul Hasan b Nasir Hossain 1(2)

Nasir Hossain to Ronchi, FOUR, excellent placement! Mid-off could have done better though. Ronchi stays leg-side of the ball once more and places the drive beautifully past the fielder who timed his dive badly

Nasir Hossain to Ronchi, FOUR, up and over! Ronchi is off to a flier here! Just smart batting on display. On the shorter side just a bit, he makes room and chips it over extra cover. Clean strike

Ghulam Mudassar to Ronchi, SIX, what a shot! Whoa! Ronchi is in the house, folks! Shuffles across the sticks just a bit and plays a lovely pick up shot. Makes superb connection to clear the ropes at fine leg. Skipper is on the rampage

Ghulam Mudassar to Ronchi, FOUR, spanked! This is a bad ball and gets the treatment. Banged halfway down the track, sits up nicely for Ronchi who cracks the pull over mid-wicket. Easy pickings!

Ghulam Mudassar to Ronchi, FOUR, super batting! Not all that bad a ball, shapes in from a good length but Ronchi creates room by backing away. Threads the gap at backward point to find the fence
