Dwayne Smith hundred helps Khulna

Khulna Royal Bengals 186 for 2 (Smith 103*, Gibbs 41) 


beat Sylhet Royals 117 (Tanvir 26*) by 69 runs

Dwayne Smith scored the third hundred of the Bangladesh Premier League, setting up an easy win for Khulna Royal Bengals against Sylhet Royals in Mirpur, in the tournament's final group match. The victory places Khulna at No. 2 on the points table, meaning they will play the third-placed Dhaka Gladiators in the semi-finals on Tuesday.

Khulna was asked to bat and faced an early set-back, losing opener Shivnarine Chanderpaul early. From there on, though, they dominated, first through Herschelle Gibbs - who made 41 off 28 - and then Smith. Smith, batting at No 3, finished the innings unbeaten on 103 off 73 balls with six fours and six sixes, splitting his West Indies team-mate Chris Gayle's tournament-record scores of 101 not out and 116.
