In reply, Dhaka Capitals made light work of the modest target despite losing two early wickets. Nasir Hossain led the chase with a commanding unbeaten 90 off 50 balls, striking 14 fours and two sixes.
He found solid support from Imad Wasim, who finished not out on 29 from 16 balls, as the pair steered Dhaka home in just 14.1 overs.
Hasan Mahmud was the pick of the Noakhali bowlers with two wickets, but the rest of the attack failed to contain Dhaka’s batting.
