The Kings won the toss and decided to bowl first, aiming to restrict Sixers to an easy total. But Sixers batsmen took advantage of the batting surface of Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.
The start of the innings was shaky as Sixers lost first two wickets with 28 on the board. Sabbir Rahman, who was recently called back to the national team, fell for one while playing Arafat Sunny.
Liton Das, the right-handed opener, struck 24 off 13 before falling prey to Mustafizur Rahman, skying a catch to Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
In the third wicket stand, Roy and Afif Hossain added 62 runs. This stand was the key for the Sixers to post a challenging first innings total.
While making 42 off 28 balls, Roy, who came in BPL as the replacement of David Warner, hit four fours and two sixes. Afif accompanied him making 28 off 29 balls with three fours and one six.
Apart from them, Nicholas Pooran (19), Alok Kapali (16*) and Sohail Tanvir (23*) played important roles with the bat. Alok and Sohail added 41 in the last 16 balls.
Mustafizur, the main bowler of the Kings, gave away 22 runs in the last over.
Despite the expensive last over, Mustafizur was the most successful bowler of the Kings taking two scalps while Kamrul Islam, Arafat Sunny, Seekkuge Prasanna and Ryan ten Doeschate took one wicket each.
