Reza to Mithun, SIX, in the airrrrrr and all the way. There is still hope for Rangpur. Timely six this and Sammy has a chat with his bowler. The yorker attempted but it goes as a juicy full delivery outside off stump, Mithun easily lofted this over the long-off boundary

Sami to Naeem Islam, 1 run, oh that turns out to be a poor shot, credit to Sami for making life difficult for the batsman by following him when he moved a long way across the stumps attempting the scoop. In the end, the ball lands safely at mid-wicket

Sami to Naeem Islam, 1 run, oh that's a lovely yorker from Sami, on the off stump, batsman could do nothing about it, dug out wide of Sammy at extra-cover
10:55 AM
Sami to Naeem Islam, no run, oh that should have been put away, in the slot, goes as a full delivery, Islam was leg-side of the ball and he goes hard at it, makes no contact in the end. Real pressure on Rangpur now

Sami to Naeem Islam, no run, yorker delivery outside off stump, Islam tries to squeeze it out through point, but misses, precious dot ball for Rajshahi

Reza to Mithun, 1 run, twice he's bowled yorkers, both times batsmen couldn't time the ball properly. Dug out into the off-side

11:04 AM
Delighted faces in the Rajshahi camp. That Sammy-Akmal onslaught (55 runs were scored off the last three overs) turns out to be the difference between the two sides. Spare a thought for Mithun, who anchored the run chase. Needed more support though. A slow start meant Rangpur were under pressure very early, Mithun gave hope but was left with too much to do in the end. Rajshahi were also helped by a brilliant penultimate over from Sami - just three runs were conceded.
10:58 AM
Brilliant penultimate over from Sami has almost sealed it for Rajshahi one feels. Just three off it and 25 needed now from the last over
10:53 AM
That 16-run over brings the equation down to 28 needed off 12 balls.
