Match end: So a game that totally makes up for the one-dimensionality of the first game. The target of 155 set by Rajshahi Kings did feel below par on first sighting, given the arduous task of defending with dew on the other side. Kings' bowlers started well actually. Adam Lyth was picked up by Mehidy Hasan in the first over itself while the other opener, Johnson Charles, was pinned in front by Farhad Reza in the fourth. Solid contributions from Mohammad Mithun (46 from 33) and Shahriar Nafees (35 from 34) kept Rangpur in the game, setting the stage for Ravi Bopara and Thisara Perera to seal it in the end with increasing ease.
