4.20pm That's all from us at ESPNcricinfo. See you in 15 minutes for the next game between Rajshahi Kings and Khulna Titans. Till then, on behalf of everyone here, this is Sreshth Shah, signing off.

4.14pm Time for the presentation.

Sylhet Sixers captain David Warner: "You always worry a little bit, but we scrapped very well with the bat after being 3 for 6. To post that total after a poor start was useful. I told Afif to bat all 20 overs, but he plays how he plays, backed himself, and credit to him. He's going to do well for us in the tournament. We put time into practice for those catches, but credit to the bowlers. Whatever we discussed, it came off today. We got a wicket every time I made a change. But credit to Frylinck as well, he played well."

Nicholas Pooran is the Man of the Match: "Want to thank my coaches. It wasn't a big total to be honest. We knew our strength was our bowling, so no matter what total we get we back ourselves to defend it. Just doing the basics. Batting with David, he said to bat deep. When a ball gets older, it was stopping a bit."

Chittagong Vikings captain Mushfiqur Rahim: "First of all, it was a great game of cricket. But better team won. We started well with the ball, but I thought Afif batted well, allowing Warner to ease the pressure. But the wicket was still good to bat on, and we didn't bat as well in the middle overs. Frylinck bowled really well."

4.03pm And Sylhet Sixers earn their first win of the season. A tight game, worthy of being a BPL contest. Frylinck starred with both bat and ball, but unfortunately he didn't get much support from his team-mates in either department. David Warner, Afif Hossain and Nicholas Pooran batted well for Sixers, after which Taskin's four-wicket haul derailed Vikings. Another positive thing, is that the team batting first wins a T20 contest. Doesn't happen too often here. Stick around for the presentation.

Taskin: "Intensity of this game was high. Every single over, anything could've won. So we couldn't relax. I'm happy, but what I felt was hitting the deck hard was important on this surface."

Rashid: "it was worth watching this match"

Ashfiq: "I am really impressed by Frylinck's power hitting ."

Md. Riyad : "So close, yet so far. You gotta feel for this guy. Frylinck! you beauty."
