Earlier, Dhaka won the toss and opted to bat first. Tanzid Hasan Tamim provided a flying start alongside Litton Das, but none of the other batters could offer him solid support.
Litton was dismissed after scoring 10 off 10 balls, followed by Habibur Rahman Sohon (3 off 8) and Formanullah (7 off 20), who also failed to make an impact.
Tanzid Tamim, however, showcased his attacking prowess, reaching his fifty in just 28 balls.
He eventually lost his wicket after scoring a brilliant 58 off 37 balls, hitting one four and an impressive seven sixes.
Towards the end, Sabbir Rahman (20 off 17 balls) and Mehedi Hasan Rana (13 off 11 balls) tried to add some quick runs, but Dhaka’s total remained modest, setting up an achievable chase for Khulna Tigers.
