Commentary
That's all from this match. All four teams for the playoffs are now decided, but we still have one league game to go. Join us later in the evening for the clash between Khulna Tigers and Sylhet Strikers. Bye for now...
17:28 Local Time, 11:28 GMT, 16:58 IST: Fortune Barishal qualify for the playoffs. They made this chase a lot more difficult than it should have been, but get there in the end. Ahmed Shahzad was out stumped early, and Kyle Mayers found scoring tough on this slow wicket. He scored a run a ball 25 before falling to Musfik Hasan. However, the experience of Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim allowed Fortune Barishal to fight through tricky phases to claim a win. Tamim led from the front, attacking when needed to score a superb fifty. He would have loved to stay till the end, but holed out in the 18th over of the game. Nevertheless, Mahmudullah and Soumya Sarkar kept their cool and got their team past the finish line with two balls to spare.
