Game 1 on this Tuesday was a thriller, what will game 2 have in store? We will be live with that match's coverage very shortly, so be back for it. From here, this is all we have. Goodbye and thank you for joining us.

Nazmul Islam is Man of the Match for his 4-0-18-3.

"It was hearth-throbbing. It was tough, but the good thing is we got 10 points and we can now relax. It is very important to play well under pressure and for the boys to step up," says Rangpur captain Mashrafe Mortaza. Last five matches that we have won have all been very close."

"We were 10-15 short. Fletcher is a key player and Babar Azam is a good player and Bresnan closed it out well for us," says Sylhet captain Nasir Hossain.

The second half of the BPL has seen its share of thrillers and this is yet another addition to it. When Ziaur Rehman and Brendon McCullum were blasting it out of the park, it had seemed as though Rangpur would seal this off with plenty of time to spare. They were going at 12 an over at one point, but that's what wickets can do to a team in T20. Sylhet picked up four of them after breaking that second-wicket partnership. That meant it took a last-over six from Mashrafe Mortaza to ease the nerves before Nahidul Islam finished it off with a four.

Bresnan to Nahidul, FOUR runs

and he has sent down another full toss. Would you believe it? Bresnan has bowled a wide and three full tosses in the final over. This one is outside off again and has been flayed over mid-off for the winning boundary

A straight mid-on comes in now.

that is out of here. Mashrafe launches this one over cow corner and it has gone miles back into the stands. Slower bak-of-the-hand delivery. Mashrafe pummels it and gets the timing spot on as well. Terrific strike

Kamrul to Nahidul, 2 runs

short of a length, drags a haphazard pull over the bowler's head and they push back for a quick second. The keeper takes the bails off but the batsman is in this time. Needed a better throw, that was wayward

dropped. Again at long-on. Got to take these kind of catches at this level. Bopara goes for another loft over long-on and the fielder again has to come forward. He bends forward but simply can't catch the ball. This one was pretty straightforward honestly
