Kings vs Dynamites, 17th Match at Sylhet, BPL 2019, Jan 16 2019 - Match Result
That's all from here for the moment. But do join us for our coverage of the second BPL match of the evening between Sylhet Sixers and Rangpur Riders.
Mehidy: Our batters did well, especially Marshall and Nafees. Our lower order couldn't do too well, but next match we'd like a few more runs.
Shakib al Hasan: Batting let us down, but happens in T20s, and it's a long tournament ahead. We are up for games, all matches are important, first and second positions get two chances, we are aware of that
5.15pm You don't win many T20 matches from 53 for five, even when your'e chasing just 137, and that's how Dhaka Dynamites succumbed to their first defeat of BPL 2018-19 at the hands of Rajshahi Kings, who climb up to No.4 on the points table. Udana and Mehidy struck early in defence of 136 and then Arafat Sunny spun a web around the vaunted middle-order. The left-arm spinner dismissed Andre Russell, Shakib al Hasan and Rony Talukdar in a miserly four over burst that cost just eight. After that it was just Pollard who posed a theoretical threat to the Kings' chances and he never really got going, eventually holing out to long on in the 17th to a smart relay catch. In the context of another low scoring encounter on a painfully slow surface, Marshall Ayub, who was playing his first BPL match since 2013, contributed an invaluable 31-ball 45 with the bat for the Kings.

good ball and poor keeping. Not to mention, terrible umpiring. Yorker just outside leg stump. He jumps into the off side to try and sweep this. It misses leg stump by a whisker and the keeper is late getting down at that. That's five runs and an extra ball. Nowhere near being a wide ball
