Comilla Victorians vs Rangpur Riders, T20, 35th Match, December 2, 2017 - Match Info

Both captains expressed their displeasure regarding the nature of the surface. Tamim, in particular, was fuming. Quite literally. Mahedi Hasan, meanwhile, claims the Man of the Match award. We have the local team Dhaka Dynamites taking on Rajshahi Kings in an hour's time. We will see you there. Embrace Test cricket on the other tabs until then. Cheers!!

16:24 local: 'Small totals are always tricky to chase.' That adage holds perfectly true for this game. The top four Victorians batsmen, chasing a meagre total, tried too hard for boundaries in the initial overs and couldn't quite get going given the two-paced nature of the pitch. They somehow laboured along with decent contributions from their senior three; Tamim, Malik and Samuels. Credit to the Riders' bowlers for making a good fist of challenging the opposition despite a shambolic show with the bat.
