PLAYER OF THE MATCH
That is it from this game. We will come back with more cricketing action.
When Khulna came out to bat, they lost a couple of wickets early. But Klinger first with Mahmudullah and then with Brathwaite ensured it was smooth sailing. Khulna won with 6 wickets and 12 balls to spare. Mahmudullah for his efforts with the ball and then a little cameo got the Man of the Match award.
Huge win for the Titans. They have played as their name suggests, like Titans. Khulna won the toss and never put a foot wrong after that. Tharanga made only 26 and his run of fifties finally came to an end. That jolted them bad and despite a rearguard action from their skipper Nasir Hossain, Sylhet ended with 135.
