Dhaka Dynamites vs Comilla Victorians, 26th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Two losses in two nights for Dhaka Dynamites who are having a dip in form. They're still top of the table, but have played a couple more matches than the Vikings with whom they're level on points. Joining both of them at the top with this win are Comilla Victorians. Getting quite crowded up there. Should be an interesting finish as to who claims the top two spots. That's a wrap of today's double-header. We'll be back tomorrow with more. Cheers!

Kayes, Comilla captain: Very good game. We were perhaps 25 short. Our bowling department has done a brilliant job. Shamsur and Tamim batted very well, Afridi batted well too. Perera is an unbelievable player in this format. Last few matches he didn't bowl well, but today his performance was absolutely brilliant.

Perera, MoM: Really happy. Have to thank my teammates. It's really difficult to defend 154 here. We missed few catches but we took good catches as well. With the dew around, it's hard to grip the ball. I tried to bowl hard length because it's really difficult to grip the ball to bowl yorkers.

Shakib, Dhaka captain: Bowlers did a fantastic job, restricting a very good batting side under 160. Disappointed with how we batted, should have chased it down easily. We didn't start well and didn't finish well with the bat. In T20s, it's important for top three or four batsmen to score big runs. We kept on losing wickets and that cost us the match. 8-9 times out of 10, you chase down 50 from 36 easily.

22:28 Local Time, 16:28 GMT, 21:58 IST: After a wobbly first half of their chase, Dhaka were revived quite splendidly by the partnership between Shakib Al Hasan and Andre Russell. They were in total control at 112/4 with Russell going ballistic and Comilla wondering where to hide. But they found a way through Perera, who got rid of Russell before Shakib very generously holed himself out of the equation as well. Dhaka's wheels just came off from that point on, with their fate sealed by Perera's sensational penultimate over in which there were five dots and one single. Considering the dew that played a part tonight, this is a fantastic effort from Comilla's bowlers to defend 153 which was at best a par score.

Saifuddin to Naim, no run, slower short ball across off, cuts it to backward point

Mohor Sheikh, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Saifuddin to Rubel, out Rubel Run Out!! 2 runs completed. Pitched up outside off, carves this to the right of sweeper cover. Imrul makes a sliding stop in the deep to cut it off. There was never three there, but the situation fuels the suicide mission. Throw is back at the keeper, who passes it back to the bowler and Rubel is well short. Rubel run out (Imrul Kayes/Anamul/Saifuddin) 10(5) [4s-1]

Saifuddin to Rubel, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!

Perera to Naim, 1 run, what a top-class over from Thisara Perera. He's probably done enough to seal it. Third yorker of the over, Naim somehow gets it down to long-off to save the ignominy of playing out a maiden

Naim blames the bat for his failures. Needs a different one

Perera to Naim, no run, five dots in a row, incredible stuff. Yorker at the stumps, squeezed back to Perera

Perera to Naim, no run, four dots in a row. The experience coming through from Perera as he bowls another delivery that's well outside off. Naim isn't making any adjustment in his game, he's only looking for the on-side and Perera is exploiting that superbly. Short of length outside off, swing and a miss

Perera to Naim, no run, brilliant yorker outside off, Naim tries to squeeze it towards third man but misses out. Top over so far
