24 runs were needed for Chitagong Vikings in the last over to clinch a win over Sylhet Sixers with three wickets in hand.
All-rounder Robbie Frylinck and spinner Sunzamul Islam were batting.
Sylhet captain David Warner gave the ball to pacer Al-Amin Hossain - who conceded 39 runs in his first three overs - to defend the total.
Sanzamul took a single in the first ball.
Then Frylinck smashed a six over long-off from a low full toss.

Two runs were taken in the third ball.
15 runs were needed to win in the last three balls and Frylinck hit a huge six over deep mid-wicket to give Vikings hope.
The Sylhet camp was a bit nervous as a short team meeting was held among few players and the bowler.
The fifth ball went for two runs again.
That meant seven runs were needed to win and a six was required for a super over.
Frylinck manage to take only one in the last ball and Sylhet bowler Al-Amin breathed a sigh of relief.
That was a valiant effort from Frylinck and it took Vikings close in the end.
