Rangpur Riders moved  to 5th  place with a final ball win over Chittagong Kings, They  lost their 1st  match after four successive wins. Kevin O'Brien and Danza Hyatt smashed  the 16 required off the last  over bowled by Rubel Hossain.

After Naeem Islam's misfield off the first ball agreed a boundary, O'Brien hit one more four, to point, played out a dot ball before taking a single to midwicket. Hyatt hitted  a straight six before scampering a leg bye off the last  ball to seal the win. The pair put on  an unbeaten 33 runs  for the 6th  wicket off just 14 deliveries  as Rangpur stayed  in contention of a winning chase throughout their innings. Imrul Kayes and Cameron Borgas scored  48 runs  each and put on  96 runs  for the third wicket in fast time. Kayes strike three fours and three sixes in his 40 ball knock while Borgas made  his runs in 41 balls with three fours and two sixes.

Shaun Tait and Kevon Cooper claimed  two wickets each, but Rubel's poor last  over cost them the match. His lack of control at the final  overs has been a recurring theme in his career.
