Opener Taufiq Khan contributed 36 runs off 30 balls, while his fellow opener Steven Taylor (13) and one-down batter Saif Hassan (7) failed to make an impact.

Iftikhar scored 43 runs off 36 balls, hitting five boundaries, while Khushdil smashed a scintillating 73 off 35 balls, including six sixes and four fours.

Opener Naim Sheikh played a commendable knock of 58 runs off 41 balls, hitting seven fours and two sixes. Captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz contributed 39 runs off 24 balls, while Afif Hossain scored a quickfire 29 off 15 balls.
However, Khulna’s chase faltered after Afif’s dismissal, with the middle and lower order failing to capitalize. Mahidul Ankon scored 15 off 12 balls, and Imrul Kayes managed just 5 runs off 3 balls.
Needing 18 runs in the last two overs, Khulna's batters, including Ankon and Mohammad Nawaz, were unable to finish the job, handing Rangpur another hard-fought victory.
