In 20 overs, Rangpur Riders managed to rack up 211 runs in loss of just three wickets.
Once the total as set by the Rangpur Riders, the second innings became just the formality. The Chattogram Challengers were never in control to chase such a huge total.

In the end, Chattogram Challengers was restricted to a score of 158 in the loss of 6 wickets and Rangpur Riders won the clash by 53 runs.
