Dhaka Dynamites vs Khulna Titans, 5th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Wiese to Shuvagata, FOUR, unlucky for Ali Khan. Hom was early into the loft and the off-cutter from Wiese almost got him another wicket, the chip just cleared a backtracking extra cover and once the ball bounced, it hit Khan's leg and raced to the fence

Wiese to A Russell, out Caught&Bowled!! Excellent bowling from Wiese. He's mixed it up nicely in this over and deserved the wicket of Russell. Dhaka lose both their big hitting West Indian batsmen in a space of 6 balls. The well-disguised off-cutter which Russell did not pick, he was down on his back knee to slog it into the stands but the toe-edge went straight up, Wiese called for it and hung on to the steepler. A Russell c and b Wiese 25(22) [6s-3]

Ali Khan to Pollard, out Caught by Mahmudullah!! The extra ball has given Ali Khan a wicket. It's a big one that too, especially at this stage of the innings. Low full toss outside off, Pollard does not get hold of the big hit as he lofts it flat, Mahmudullah standing right behind the bowler near straightish long-off takes it just inside the rope. That fielding position has been used against Pollard before and he's got out there a few times as well. Pollard c Mahmudullah b Ali Khan 27(16) [4s-2 6s-2]

Ali Khan to A Russell, SIX, that is what happens when you miss the length against these two. Ali Khan missed it by a good few yards and Russell heaves it off the cue-end over cow corner. Another mishit from Russell that has gone the distance

Zahir Khan to Pollard, SIX, errs by offering space for Pollard to free his arms and the rest did not matter, once he had the room there was only one way the ball was heading - over the long-off fence

T Islam to Pollard, FOUR, Pollard already making Khulna pay for the missed chance. Quicker, shorter and outside off, Pollard stands his ground and slaps it past extra cover. The power in the shot beats long-off comfortably

T Islam to Pollard, SIX, adding salt to the wound. Pollard makes room and gets under the flighted delivery, then uses his long levers to smack it straight back over the bowler, for a mighty six

T Islam to Pollard, byes, FOUR, stumping missed! It was a tough one, but you expect those to be taken. Pollard comes down the track and yorks himself, the ball dips in front of him and sneaks underneath the bat, the 'keeper stood up even before the ball arrived and hence was not able to glove that

Zahir Khan to A Russell, SIX, woah! It was a mishit and it still traveled a long way. Russell went down on his knee and fetched the slog sweep from outside off, got more of a top-edge and the ball landed 10 rows back near deep midwicket

Zahir Khan to Pollard, FOUR, quickish wrong 'un on leg-stump, Pollard tickles it fine and the pace on the ball does the rest

T Islam to A Russell, SIX, just the delivery Russell was waiting for - flighted full and in his arc, the front leg is cleared and a clean bat swing follows to smash it way over the long-on fence

Stirling to Shakib, out Caught by Shariful Islam!! What! First ball duck for the Dhaka captain. A reckless shot to play when two wickets have fallen. Stirling finds himself on a hat-trick. Lobs it up teasingly outside off, Shakib's eyes lit up seeing the flight and he goes for the inside out loft, the ball turns enough to catch the outer half and balloons to backward point, where Shariful takes a good catch. Shakib c Shariful Islam b Stirling 0(1)

Stirling to Hazratullah Zazai, out Caught by A Haque!! Wickets in consecutive overs. Khulna fighting back. A drag down by Stirling but he ensured it was outside off, Zazai looks to target his favorite area - deep midwicket with a pull, but since he had to fetch the shot there was no timing on it, offers a simple catch to Haque. Hazratullah Zazai c A Haque b Stirling 57(36) [4s-3 6s-5]

Mahmudullah to Rony Talukdar, out Caught by A Haque!! Khulna hang on to one. They have been so poor in the tournament. It was bowled from front of the hand and skidded it through, Talukdar did his best to get underneath the slog sweep, but did not have the distance to clear deep midwicket. Haque steadies himself and takes it comfortably. Rony Talukdar c A Haque b Mahmudullah 28(18) [4s-3 6s-2]

Zahir Khan to Rony Talukdar, FOUR, tossed up full, tempting flight, turning away, Rony Talukdar backs away and tries to whip-drive through the covers, gets a thick outside edge past the slip fielder to third man for four

Mahmudullah to Hazratullah Zazai, SIX, that's another monstrous hit! A criminal length ball, feeding him there, and he clears his front-leg to slam that high and mighty over wide long on for six. That's fifty for Zazai - brought up in fine style

Zahir Khan to Rony Talukdar, FOUR, half-volley outside off, doesn't matter which way it's spinning, Rony Talukdar gets his leg out of the way, and hammers it away to long on for four

Mahmudullah to Rony Talukdar, SIX, pitches it short, Rony Talukdar rocks back and pulls it away without keeping it down, and Stirling drops it at the deep midwicket boundary - parrying it over the ropes to concede six. Insult to injury

Mahmudullah to Rony Talukdar, SIX, races down the track seeing the flight and lofts it over the straight boundary for six!

Wiese to Rony Talukdar, FOUR, fuller length delivery outside off,m Rony Talukdar stays in his crease and carts it over the in-field to the long off boundary for four. The new man joins the party!

Wiese to Narine, out Caught by Ali Khan! A sigh of relief for the Titans, as Narine top-edges a cross-batted mow across the line to a short of length delivery. Wasn't short enough for the pull, and sure enough, he ended up getting a thick top-edge - Ali Khan settles under it at wide mid-on. Narine c Ali Khan b Wiese 19(14) [4s-1 6s-2]

Shariful Islam to Hazratullah Zazai, SIX, 27 off the over! The guests are being butchered here by Dhaka! Length delivery just outside off, and that's been carted with a cross-batted drag over cow corner - quite a normal shot these days - for six!

Shariful Islam to Hazratullah Zazai, SIX, this is absolute carnage! Half-volley once again, Hazratullah Zazai gets his front-leg out of the way and absolutely bludgeons that, cross-batted, over the straight boundary for six!

Shariful Islam to Hazratullah Zazai, FOUR, another slower short one wide outside off, Hazratullah Zazai hops, almost mistimes it, deceived by the lack of pace, but throws his hands at it whilst airborne and carves it away in front of deep point for four

Shariful Islam to Hazratullah Zazai, FOUR, slower delivery, not the best length, width on offer too, Hazratullah Zazai picks up the change in pace and that's all he had to do - slaps it away through the extra cover region for four

Shariful Islam to Hazratullah Zazai, SIX, half-volley on a length, Hazratullah Zazai rests on his back-leg and hoicks that cleanly over wide long-on for six

Ali Khan to Narine, FOUR, pitches it too full this time, it's outside off-stump, Narine picks up the change in pace this time, and just caresses it to the deep extra cover boundary for four - all grace, no power

Ali Khan to Narine, SIX, short one at the fulcrum, Narine twists his torso and generates some leverage, swat-pulls it away over backward square leg for six!

Wiese to Narine, byes, FOUR, short, too short, Narine gets out of the way and the 'keeper leaps - goes over his head to the long stop fence for four

Wiese to Hazratullah Zazai, wide, a back of a length delivery down leg-side, Hazratullah Zazai tries a swat behind square, and might have got some glove on it through to the 'keeper. The third umpire's taking multiple looks at this. There's no UltraEdge, so I'm not sure what the decision will be based on. Gut feeling? That usually invites accusations of bias. They're using the zoomer at this point. It's no good. Not out it is, the on-field decision stands due to lack of evidence

Shariful Islam to Narine, SIX, WHAM! Short, no pace on it, Narine has enough time to rock back and throw his weight behind that pull over deep midwicket for six

Shariful Islam to Hazratullah Zazai, 1 run, short, pulled off the backfoot, straight to Wiese at mid on who drops a sitter! Poor stuff...

Shariful Islam to Hazratullah Zazai, SIX, oh goodness gracious me! Welcome to the crease Sharif! A length delivery outside off, Hazratullah Zazai gets his weight on the backfoot, and carts that over cow corner - waaaay over cow corner - for a gigantic six

Ali Khan to Hazratullah Zazai, FOUR, shortish delivery, slower too, width on offer, Hazratullah Zazai throws his hands and slaps it away after a rather long wait for it to arrive towards deep extra cover for four
