finishes it off in style, a length ball on middle and off, a one-handed six over extra cover, Amjad's going to be talking about that shot for a long,long time, a famous win for Hong Kong, a day to forget for Bangladesh, though they have qualified for the Super 10s

Well, what a rollercoaster that was, another demonstration that low-scoring Twenty20s can be thrillers as well.
Nadeem Ahmed is the Man of the Match: "This effort is dedicated to my parents, who put in a lot of work for my cricket. There was nothing in the wicket, sometimes it was keeping low, sometimes it slides through, just wanted to use that. Great experience playing in front of big crowds."
James: "That definitely gives HK something to take from the tournament. Nepal also have plenty of positives to take. Bangladesh go through, and congratulations to them. It's their party, after all. Bit disappointed in Afghanistan after their excellent showing in the Asia Cup. Ireland to get through tomorrow to represent the associates? Let's hope so (sorry, Zim fans!)."
Sakush KC: "Group A: Full Circle Nepal won Afghanistan won Hong Kong won Bangladesh won Nepal. Entertainment at its best! "
akshdp: "seeing a trend here at T20.. when needed a single to win.. SIX becomes a safe shot because of the field coming in... also the gives a Style Finish.."
Mushfiqur Rahim: "It is a positive that we qualified for the Super 10s. Probably, we didn't read the wicket very well, we thought it was a 140 wicket. Rubel Hossain is not doing good, let's see how he is tomorrow."
Neil Atkinson: "Biggest win in our history. We've got a couple of tournaments at the Associate level coming up, and we are looking to build on what we have achieved here."
Yogesh: "Meanwhile, a minor record stands for Nepal. They didn't bowl a single wide or a no ball in the whole tournament. They are the only team to do that ever in T20 world cup tournament ;)"
That's a wrap from us. Thanks everyone for all the comments over an enthralling day that showcased how much talent is there in Associate cricket. See you all tomorrow. G'night.

Sabbir to Tanwir Afzal, OUT
nothing close about that, Afzal wanted to launch that into orbit with a massive slog, he missed and the stumps are a mess, he won't be looking back at this innings fondly, it was woeful batting

Sabbir to Tanwir Afzal, no run
that was a horrible delivery, but nearly got him a wicket, that was a half-tracker that was heading down the leg side, somehow gets entangled in the batsman's body and is nearly dragged on to the stumps
Big test for Sabbir Rahman as well, he's bowling his first over in a crunch situation

Razzak to Munir Dar, OUT
another twist to this extraordinary game, Dar is gone lbw, Hong Kong have lost their seventh, can they hold their nerve to complete the upset? that was a length ball pitching just outside off and heading towards off, Dar missed it and no doubt about that umpiring decision
