Mahmudul Hasan Joy's unbeaten half-century and Habibur Rahman's magnificent cameo of 30* off nine helped Khulna Tigers finish the tournament on a high as they beat Fortune Barishal by six wickets.
Barishal, powered by Protea all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius' 48 off 29 and contributions from Anamul Haque, Shakib Al Hasan, Ibrahim Zadran and Karim Janat, scored 169 for eight.
They were set for a bigger total but Mohammad Saifuddin's 4/20 stemmed the run flow.
Khulna's Andy Balbirnie (37 off 33) started well at the top. Joy (64* off 43) notched up yet another fifty.
