pulled handsomely towards deep midwicket. Game, set and match for the Victorians. Stroll in the end, but wonder if there was a case of finishing it off a little early to boost their net-run-rate

Thanks for joining us. Not quite a thriller, which we hope wouldn't be the case tomorrow. Cheers
Nuwan Kulasekara is the Man of the Match for his spell of 1 for 8 off his three overs
Mortaza: The win was more important, but we had a good chance to push out net run-rate too. But overall, I'm happy with the points. Kulasekara bowled really well, as did Zaidi, who has been doing well. Our bowling has some variations. The batting's good, but I felt we missed out. Hopefully in future, if we get games like these, we will push to finish it earlier.
Mahmudullah: We need to sort our batting out. Bowlers have done their job. Taijul bowled really well, but batsmen need to work on their plans and technique.
Bashar: "We've got to admit that BB's top order have not produced the runs that they are supposed to make in all 3 games. Mostly, the bowlers saved them."
Smiles all over. Barisal could have been in the game had they made close to 120, but with just close to 90, it was never on even if you took into account the variable bounce and slow turn. Cooper and Samuels share a joke, Comilla's red flags are out in full force and both teams walk off shaking hands. Join us shortly for the presentation
