Khulna’s innings was going in the wrong direction as they lost Sharjeel Khan (seven), Munim Shariar (four) and Tamim Iqbal (eight) inside the powerplay.
Azam tried to counterattack, hitting three fours in his 12-ball innings, before Arafat lofted his stumps to reduce Khulna to 49-4.
Yasir and Saifuddin tried to build a base with a steady partnership. But both the batsmen departed when their team needed to accelerate.
Yasir hit Nasir for a six but was caught on the very next ball and lost his wicket to Saifuddin Al-Amin.
Wahab’s fours and sixes in the last over against Al-Amin took Khulna’s total close to 120.
