Captain Mehidy Hasan himself launched three boundaries and two sixes during his fiery 13-ball 26, but he soon made his way back to the dugout at 54-2, just an over after Naim’s departure. Alex Ross at number four failed to sustain Khulna Tigers’ early momentum as the attacking Australian middle-order batter was dismissed for just a run courtesy of a runout.

Hossain clobbered three boundaries and three sixes in his 42-ball 56 to top-score for the Tigers, while Basisto remained unbeaten at 37-ball 55*. Mahidul Islam Ankon also mounted a sizzling 12-ball 30* during the slog overs to catapult the Khulna Tigers to 209-4 by the completion of their innings.
