Commentary

On that note, this is Mohul and Rudransh taking your leave! Do consider switching tabs to follow the World Test Championship Final where Ajinkya Rahane is leading India's fightback. Goodbye and take care!
Marsta win by three runs. 

Share Ali 41 (11) | Nazmul Hashan 4/26
Faruk Ahmed 60 (23) | Ashraful Alam 3/24

What a nail-biting game of cricket. Marsta would have been happy with 141 on the board but the Tigers started the innings stunningly and were cruising at 110/2 after seven overs. Faruk Ahmed led the charge with a 23-ball 60 which included as many as seven sixes.

But then out of nowhere came Nazmul Hashan in the eighth over and picked three wickets, turning the game on its head. It was a masterstroke to keep him for the end overs and he reposed the faith by doing what no one else did - held one length and fired it at pace. Rehman supported him by just going for two runs in the ninth and Hashan killed the match in the 10th.

The Tigers have only themselves to blame for as some of the shots by the lower order were simply not on. They could have nudged it around for a few singles before going big in the last over but guess inexperience works in different ways. A lot of lessons for them to take away from this.

What is happening here!! 5 wickets have fallen in the last two overs and the Tigers have been so so poor in these nervy moments, no one taking the responsibility. 19 off six needed now!
