In the 15th match of the ongoing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zahur-Ahmed-c98518 Chowdhury Stadium, Chittagong.
After winning the toss, Sylhet chose to field first in a bid to restrict their opponents from amassing a tough total on the board.
The bowlers made early inroads, as they grabbed their first wicket when Khulna Royal Bengals had posted only eight runs on the board, as opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HH-Gibbs-c1549 departed before scoring a run.
On the penultimate delivery of the same over, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390, also found his way back to the pavilion after scoring an innings of eight runs.
With the hard-hitting http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gibbs-c60021 and composed Chanderpaul back in the pavilion, the side were put under pressure early on, and needed to recover from the situation as soon as possible.
Star batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DR-Smith-c1401, then halted the belligerent bowling onslaught; however, he needed someone on the other end to support him as Sylhet bowlers made it extremely difficult for the batsmen to play freely.
However, the lower batting-order turned the tide and resisted the bowlers effectively enough to post 171 runs in 20 overs for the loss of six wickets.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Smith-c90598, smashed a match saving innings of 55 runs to help is side reach a comfortable position, as he steered his team out of trouble.
Needing 172 runs in 20 overs, Sylhet got off to a stupendous start of 62 runs, but later faltered miserably as the batting line-up was incinerated by the bowlers, reducing the side to 169 runs in 20 overs for the loss of eight wickets.
From Sylhet, opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SB-Styris-c2463 were the only star batsmen for their side as they smashed 82 and 48 runs, while the remaining batsmen failed to score in double figures.
From Khulna, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdur-Razzak-c41688 grabbed two wickets each as they played a lethal role in disintegrating Sylhet batting line-up.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AD-Russell-c915, was named as the Player of the Match.
