With too much damage already done by the bowling side, the Kings could only save themselves from further embarrassment, and they did that by playing out their full quota of 20 overs without getting bowled out. Captain Mithun managed to score 35 off 34 deliveries with some form of support from Arafat Sunny, who stayed unbeaten on 27, although he consumed too many balls, i.e. 34.

Spinner Tanvir Islam also played his part by delivering a spell of 2/14 in his quota of four fours after Ashraf (3/12) and Mondol (3/23) disrupted the opposition's batting line-up to restrict them to just 121 for 8.

Fortune vs Kings Highlights: Malan Held One End While Wickets Kept Tumbling From Another

Chasing a below-par total of 122 on a seam-friendly wicket, Fortune Barishal openers Tamim Iqbal and Dawid Malan started off with caution, but the former lost his wicket after getting run out in the fourth over. However, after that, two wickets fell in no time, and they were three down for 32 with Malan and Mahmudullah at the crease.

Then came experienced Afghan batter Mohammad Nabi on the crease, who held his fort alongside Malan and batted as long as they could. With the target not being a huge one, they found occasional boundaries and kept rotating the strike often. By taking a single on the fifth delivery of the 17th over, Barishal emerged victorious, courtesy of their batter Malan, who played a fine knock of 56 from 41 balls, ably supported by Nabi's 26 off 21 deliveries.
