The very next delivery saw Jishan Alam also make his way back to the pavilion after scoring a brisk 38 runs off 23 balls, leaving the team in a bit of trouble.

In response, Tasmania Tigers faced early setbacks as they lost three wickets within the first 8 overs, with only 51 runs on the board. 

However, Tasmania’s middle-order batter Jake Doran played a match-winning knock that turned the tide in favor of the Tigers. His composed and calculated innings of 71* runs off 37 balls, laced with 9 boundaries and 2 sixes, provided the backbone of the chase. Doran’s performance was complemented by opener Nick Davis, who contributed 30 runs off 23 balls, and Tim Ward, who added 25 runs off 28 balls.

Doran's brilliant fifty anchored the chase, and despite losing a few more wickets, Tasmania managed to reach the target, finishing at 167/5 with three balls to spare. Rakibul Hasan was the pick of the bowlers for Bangladesh HP, taking 2/23.
