Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Ibrahim Zadran, out Caught by Rishad Hossain!! Ibrahim Zadran holes out! He misses out on a well-deserved century. Brilliant catch from Rishad. It has been a very good knock nonetheless. He uses his feet but gets too close to the pitch of it. He hits it well but doesn't get the required elevation. Rishad at deep mid-wicket is cool as a cucumber. He leaps and reverse cups it over his head and ensures that he keeps his balance in front of the ropes.
