Dhaka needed 11 off the final over, and Shuvagata slammed Thisara Perera for back-to-back sixes off the first two balls

Minister Group Dhaka 131 for 5 (Mahmudullah 34, Jahurul 30, Perera 2-39) beat Khulna Titans 129 for 8 (Raza 64, Sunny 2-15, Omarzai 2-25) by five wickets

How the match played out
Shuvagata Hom struck two sixes in the last over to drag Minister Group Dhaka over the line against Khulna Tigers. Dhaka needed 11 runs off the final over bowled by Thisara Perera after Khaled Ahmed conceded just four in the penultimate over.

But Shuvagata, who was dismissed at a crucial stage against Chattogram Challengers on Tuesday, slammed Perera for a straight six before pounding the ball over extra cover much to his team-mates’ delight, thus finishing with an unbeaten nine-ball 18 including the two sixes.
