That's it from the coverage, hope you enjoyed it. Until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Rajarshi signing off
Benny Howell (Bangla Tigers Captain) - We scored more runs. What we saw from Jordan was unbelievable. We got a bit nervous when Pooran was going but he managed to restrict them in the end. You don't have to change too much when you win a game like this today. We have a day off tomorrow, we will relax and get ready for the next game
Jordan Cox (Player of the Match) - To get these awards is awesome but to get a win is more important. I was thinking to dig deep and just trust my bat swing. In T20, you have to give yourself a chance after adapting to the wicket
It's time for the presentation
Bangla Tigers won by 20 runs Jordan Cox 90 | Nicholas Pooran 41(17) Haider Ali 1-11 (1) | Nuwan Thushara 2-22 (2)
Right! Jordan Cox's knock was a treat to watch and when it seemed that Pooran was trying to match him and was taking the match away from the Tigers, Sams got the better of him. Still, with Russell's presence, one would assume that the Gladiators have a good chance but in stark contrast, it made things bad to worse for the team as he struggled with his timing
Allen playing an entertaining knock but Russell managed just 11 runs in 17 deliveries and that led to downfall. The Tigers' pacers used the variations to good effect and didn't bowl any looseners. Just 10 runs came in over number 8 and 9, and that made all the difference in favour of the Tigers in the end.

9.6 Daniel Sams to Fabian Allen, SIX! The big hits came far too late for the Gladiators! Full outside off, Allen lined this one up and clobbered the ball towards cover, clearing the ropes. The Bangla Tigers take the honours by 20 runs!
9.5 Daniel Sams to Andre Russell, slow, length delivery outside off, Russell thumps this one towards long on. Just one
9.4 Daniel Sams to Andre Russell, wide yorker, just inside the tramline. Russell can't get bat on it
9.3 Daniel Sams to Fabian Allen, in the air...put down! Poor from Dominic Drakes! Allen hoisted this slower one up towards deep square, got no distance on it. Drakes came in, settled under it and let the ball through his palms!
