14:43Abu Hider counters with repeated sixes against Rahul Tripathi.

How much action can a play-off for 11th place pack into its opening overs? Habibur Rahman sends the first two deliveries for six, giving India's bowlers an immediate answer at Hong Kong's Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground.

That Bangladesh-India encounter opens Sports Central by DRM's final-day Hong Kong Sixes broadcast, which drew roughly 560,000 views in its first day. That's nearly thirty times the channel's usual start for long videos and streams. This is tournament coverage carried by the sports clips channel, with Kass Naidoo and Farveez Maharoof on commentary.

India captain Krunal Pandya chooses to field, then has to interrupt Bangladesh's fast start himself. Nitish Rana catches Sabbir Rahman near the boundary off Pandya's bowling, before the captain takes a return catch to dismiss Mrittunjoy Chowdhury without scoring. Bangladesh captain Abu Hider supplies the counterattack, hitting a free-hit six off Pandya and later clearing the boundary repeatedly against Rahul Tripathi.

The full-day stream isn't the channel's only unusually busy cricket upload. Separate Bangladesh-India highlights also draw a much larger opening audience than usual, alongside coverage of Afghanistan-Australia's Hong Kong final and Oman-Pakistan's Plate final. Away from the six-a-side tournament, Sports Central by DRM's Afghanistan-Zimbabwe T20I stream and highlights are also making unusually fast starts.
