Imran Nazir is the Man of the Match. No surprises there. I'm not sure if we have access to the presentation. We'll keep you informed.

Arun Lal in the presentation says," Let's all hear it for the IPL." IPL! I'm not kidding, he actually mixed it up! He said it twice too.

Hodge: "Put ourselves under too much pressure early in the match. We were outplayed today. I'm just doing my job, but we just kept losing wickets. It's been very welcoming, everyone's had a good time."

Mortaza: "I'm speechless tonight. Mahmood and Nazir kept supporting us throughout the tournament. I've really enjoyed the tournament."

Nazir: "Thanks to all the Gladiators. I hope to be back with the Pakistan T20 team soon."

Shehzad: "The crowd was amazing and I'm looking to come back next year too."

Most valuable local player is Elias Sunny for 17 wickets.

Most valuable foreign player is Azhar Mahmood: "The journey has been great. The body is aching."

The Man of the Series is Shakib Al Hasan. He gets the keys to the car: "I love you guys, thank you for the support. I hope you show the same support for the Bangladesh team as well."

Thanks for catching up with the coverage. The cricket continues. Cheers!

End of match: Barisal have been totally outplayed. Very one-sided final in the end. Given the way the Pakistan players have dominated this tournament, it was fitting that one of them starred in this one. Also fitting that the local team, Dhaka, won the cup in front of their home crowd.

Mahroof: "Bowler and Batsman (Ahmed Shehzad & Imran Nazir) should both be opening the batting for Pakistan in T20's - now that would be a pair to watch!!...And Shehzad maybe even in One Dayers?"

Stay with us for the presentation.
