Report
Dhaka winning the toss decided to field first and their decision seemed to have worked when the picked up Evin Lewis so cheaply but Tamim Iqbal then made a partnership of 89 runs with Anamul Haque and in the process he picked up his fifty in 39 balls. Both Anamul Haque and Shamshur Rahman fell in a quick succession while the latter got out on a Golden duck. Further no damage was done for Comilla, Tamim Iqbal along with the skipper Imrul Kayes made a 100 run partnership for the 4th wicket, in the process Tamim scored his first-ever century in BPL and it was also his highest individual score in T20 cricket along with that first time any Bangladeshi batsman scored a century in a T20 cricket final.[3][4][5]
In the chase Dhaka lost the wicket of Sunil Narine in the second ball of the innings as he got run out without facing any delivery (Platinum Duck). Upul Tharanga and Rony Talukdar made 102 run partnership for the 2nd wicket. After the fall of Tharanga and Talukdars's wicket no batsman could stand up with the bat and wicket kept falling on regular succession and in their full over quota Dhaka could only manage 182 runs losing 9 wickets and subsequently lost the match by 17 runs. As a result Comilla hold their second BPL title.
