Mashrafe Bin Mortaza wasn’t expected to formally reveal exactly what he said to Shuvashis Roy but form what it was seen from the press box, he definitely told something, consisted of two words. Roy was ultra-aggressive in his reaction that left everyone present in the stadium in shocking state, considering he was angrily shouting to a player who is highly respected amongst the Bangladeshi players and fans and also his captain in ODI team. From the press box, it is clearly understood, Mashrafe was totally speechless by the reaction of Roy. He even couldn’t gather any word to reply. Roy wasn’t found immediately for the reaction but Mashrafe latter said he should restrain himself being a senior player. Latter in an informal discussion Mashrafe said he told Shuvashis just ‘go’ to which according to Mashrafe, Shuvashis showed smart reaction. However Shuvashis apologized to Mashrafe later and both of them were seen shaking hands at the end of the game. But one thing is sure, both of the players definitely would have to meet match referee for an incident that was seen by hundreds of thousand people in front of TV and stadium.

One boundary in 10 overs!
Chittagong Vikings’ innings against Rangpur Riders was just the carbon-copy of their innings against Comilla Victorians in the first match. The only difference is that they won the match this time. When Bopara had Ronchi caught at long-on, Chittagong were 99 for 2 in the 8.5 overs. Ronchi had made 78 of those runs, smacking seven fours and seven sixes. Munaweera struck Samiullah Shenwari for a six over midwicket at the end of the 10th over, but there was no boundary for 50 balls from that point. The only boundary in the last 10 overs came from Misbah, who was unbeaten on 31 off 32 balls.
