Super 6 brace for battle

SPORTS REPORTER
The stage is set for the 'Super Six' phase of the Third Nitol-Tata National Football League at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today.
When the battle commences at 4.30 pm, the focus definitely will on the hot shots Moulvibazar
Wanderers Club who take on
Chittagong Mohammedan Sporting Club in the opening match.
The Wanderers have enchanted many fans with brilliant performances in the preliminary and first phases of the final round. No wonder they are in the title race along with giants Mohammedan, Abahani
and Muktijoddha.
But their captain Murad Ahmed Milon believed the acid test would
come when they play in the capital.
"It is totally different ball game when one has to take on the big boys in their turf. But we are full of confidence that we will reach the grand final," said the Moulvibazar striker yesterday.
He was also optimistic that the presence of Nigerians Bode Baba and Ladi Baba would bolster the team. Both players will return to action after suspension, which was imposed by the BFF after complications arose over their international transfer certificates (ICT).
On the other hand, Chittagong Mohammedan captain Shafiqul Islam Shafiq was worried by the absence of key midfielder Abdullah Al Parvez who miss two games due to a red card in the last leg in Khulna.

"Even without Parvez I think we have taken adequate steps to prepare for the battles ahead," he said.
Finance Minister Saifur Rahman will inaugurate the meet where 18 recipients of the National Sports Award will be led without the ground by the players of Dolaipar and Residential Model schools.
Bangladesh Television will provide live coverage of all the matches.
The sponsors Nitol-Tata group will provide fifty buses everyday to carry the fans free of charge to the venue from the Bangabandhu National Stadium. However before boarding the buses they must have in their possession a stadium ticket.
