The match started with Khulna Tigers winning the toss and opting to bowl first against Chittagong Kings.
Batting first, Chittagong Kings set a formidable target of 200/7, with the potential for even more. Graham Clark's explosive century, scoring 101 off 50 balls, was the standout performance, while Parvez Hossain Emon played a key supporting role at the top.
For Khulna Tigers, Salman Irshad and Mohammad Nawaz impressed with three wickets each, while Abu Hider contributed with one. In the chase, it was a collective team effort from the Kings. Arafat Sunny led the bowling charge with a three-wicket haul, and the other bowlers played their part to secure a convincing victory.
The Khulna Tigers were never really in the hunt. They lost three wickets early in the Powerplay, including captain Mehidy Hasan, who managed only a few aggressive shots before falling.
The decision to shuffle the batting order backfired, making things worse. Mohammad Nawaz and Darwish Rasooli did offer some hope with a steady partnership, but once they were dismissed, the Tigers' innings fell apart, leaving them 45 runs short of the target scoring 155.
The team led by Ammad Butt, finally secured their first victory with a 2-1 win over Japan and then delivered a decisive 5-1 win against China, to enter the semi-finals. Their final pool match ended in a narrow 2-1 loss to India.
