Earlier, Chittagong Kings won the toss and elected to field first in the second Qualifier match played at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Dhaka on Wednesday, 5 February 2025.

Khulna Tigers lost their top-four wickets inside 50 runs but Mahidul Islam Ankon (41 off 32 balls) and Shimron Hetmyer (63 off 33 balls) added 73 runs for the fifth wicket to put the Tigers back in the game.

Jason Holder also played a vital cameo in the end to take the team's total to 163/6 in 20 overs.

China, meanwhile, have experienced a rollercoaster of results. After a demoralizing 0-3 defeat to India, they bounced back with a 4-2 victory over Malaysia. However, their momentum was short-lived as they faced another loss, this time 2-3 against South Korea.

In response, Khawaja Nafay (57 off 46 balls) gave a fine start to the chase. Hussain Talat also made crucial runs but in the end, it all came to the tailenders.

With 15 runs to defend in the final over, Musfik Hasan started the over by conceding a boundary. Then, Shoriful Islam hit another four on the fourth delivery but got out on the next delivery.

Now, four runs were needed on the last balls. Aliss Al Islam came to bat and hit a boundary to win the match for his team and took his team to the summit clash. The Kings will face Fortune Barishal in the final on Friday.
