It has been great pleasure bringing you this top of the table clash! Hope you enjoyed. I - Darpan - and my co-commentator Probuddha wave you all a good bye with our tiring fingers and smiling faces. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more!
Litton Das (Comilla Victorians Captain): Our bowlers have done really well. Neesham did a great job with the bat, and only for that we reached that total. Mushfik has done really well in the last couple of matches and that is helping up. Yeah, the total was not too big, and hence I was trying to play out the better bowlers. It would have been better if I could have finished off the game. Yes, Dre Russ's batting was entertaining for the crowd. I would not have had such big sixes, so they would have been thoroughly entertained. We have a team that can win from any situation and we hope to do that in the play-offs.
Andre Russell (Player of the Match ): First of all, I want to give my team mates the credits. This game was important for us after the defeat yesterday. We planned as a team and that paid off. It was a team effort and feels nice to win like this. After the first over my body was feeling good and after that I said that skip whenever you are ready I am set to go. I am happy to contribute with the three wickets. Also, it felt good to bat in this way and win the match for the team.
Nurul Hasan (Rangpur Riders Captain): We have done a few mistakes in this match and this alarming ahead of the play-offs. We need to mend our ways and get going again during the play-offs. All the players have given their best but sometimes things don't pay off. However we will look to get better during the qualifiers and win the tournament.
Comilla Victorians win by 6 wickets.
Andre Russell 43* (12) | Musfik Hasan 3-18 James Neesham 69* (42) | Shakib Al Hasan 3-20
Rangpur Riders never seemed to have enough on the board. Their problems were further augmented with heavy dew coming down and Andre Russell being at his destructive best. Their spinners bowled well. Imran Tahir delivered quiet overs while Shakib chipped away at the wickets whenever he was called upon. Unfortunately, there wasn't much support for the two.
Their batters too were guilty of playing some unnecessarily rash shots even when the situation did not demand them to do so. Neesham's heroics were the only saving grace. Now, they look forward to the knockouts where there won't be room for such mistakes.
For Comilla Victorians, the way Musfik bowled is a big positive. Also, Litton and Russell getting some runs holds them in a good place. And with one game remaining, they are in a pole position to secure a top two spot
THE CONFIDENCE!! THE CHEEKINESS!! Didn't call for a helmet, just bludgeoned the next one for a straight six! That's Andre Russell, folks!
18.0
17.4 Mahedi Hasan to Andre Russell, SIX!!!! That is it. Russell has finished it off!!!! Full at the off stump. Russell moves his front foot away from the line of the ball and heaves it over long-off for a maximum.
Spinner bowling a bouncer! Russell better call for a helmet.......He doesn't.
17.4 Mahedi Hasan to Andre Russell, bouncer at the off stump. Russell leaves that, wide signalled.
