=========================================================================

Chittagong Vikings managed to score just 143 with the loss of seven.

In the end, what should’ve been 200 plus has been kept to 143.

Saifuddin gave excellent account of himself, troubling the batsmen with his accuracy and minute changes in pace as Chittagong couldn’t bring out the big hits.

The batsmen also didn’t help their cause by trying some outrageous strokes – two of them falling to attempted scoops of slower deliveries to short fine leg.

Chittagong Vikings couldn’t get a single boundary for the last 12 overs and a bit of their innings, partly due to the discipline of the bowlers, who mixed their variations up nicely.
