The T20 series, followed by three ODIs, between the two teams serve as a warm-up for the 50-over Champions Trophy next month.

Mohammad Naim carried Khulna Tigers’ hope till the last over but in the end Fortune Barishal held on to win by seven runs and pick up their sixth win this BPL.

Mahmud, who is coaching Dhaka Capitals in what has been a lacklustre campaign in the Bangladesh Premier League so far, gave his insights about the ongoing payment issues in the BPL, the state of his team and their star batter Liton Das, and Dhaka’s club cricket scenario in an interview with The Daily Star’s Abdullah Al Mehdi. The excerpts of the interview are as follows:
