Full commentary

Thank you for tuning in, hope you enjoyed our coverage. This is Ekanth, signing off for now on behalf of my fellow commentator, Rashad Mahbub, and our scorer, Ranjith P.

Comilla and Khulna will face each other again tomorrow. For today, there is another match coming up in a few minutes. it is Barishal vs Dhaka from Mirpur, which will be starting at 6:30 pm BDT. You can follow our live coverage of that game here

With that, Comilla and Barishal have confirmed their places in the Playoffs

Moeen Ali is the Player of the Match for his 75 off 35 with a four and nine sixes along with a tight spell of 4-0-2-20

Both teams came in with the intent to score with the bat and lost wickets trying to sustain that momentum. Comilla found Moeen Ali, who smoked it all over to turn set up a score at least 15-20 runs over par. Khulna got a grand start in the first over thanks to Andre Fletcher but Mustafizur fizzed with two wickets in two balls and fizzled out the opposition. Wickets fell at a regular interval and the runs never came for Khulna as they collapsed and fell well short of the target.

5:05 pm In the end, Comilla get a comprehensive 65-run win over Khulna to take their tally to 13 points and get on par with Barishal, who have a game coming up later in the day, in terms of points. This is the biggest victory in terms of margins, beating Comilla's 63 run over Barishal earlier in the season

Abu Hider to Perera, OUT

Bowled him! Back of a length ball and Perera misses a heave over leg and it hits the top of the stumps as the bails fly all over. He never looked set and did not get support and finally perished
