Easy wins for Khulna, Ctg

SPORTS REPORTER
Defending champions Khulna and Chittagong joined Dhaka at the top of Mirzapore Tea Fifth National Cricket League table with outright victories against their respective opponents at different venues across the country yesterday.
Khulna ambled to a 76-run victory over Sylhet at the Sylhet Stadium when spinner Tahmim Bashir broke the last wicket pair by removing national right-arm paceman Tapash Baisya in the sixth over of the day.
Chittagong on the other hand thumped down an eight-wicket defeat on Rajshahi at the Comilla Stadium thanks to a blazing unbeaten 65 by Faisal Hossain.
Faisal, one of the two sensational finds for the port city this year, finished off the chase in style after Rajshahi set Chittagong an easy target of 129 runs for the win on the fourth and final day.
Dhaka had already scored an
empathic innings and 63-run victory over Barisal at the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium on Friday in the six-team meet.
The same opponents now face off in the limited-overs games of the meet at their respective venues today.
CHITTAGONG v RAJSHAHI
Nickname Dickens, Faisal wrote another classic masterpiece at Comilla when the unheralded right-hander struck a 41-ball 65 that included three massive sixes and nine savage hits across the rope.
Chittagong captain Akram Khan promoted Faisal up in the batting order after his first-innings effort of unbeaten 99 while batting at number six.
Faisal did not disappoint his captain and, batting at number three, he scored even more freely. If his first-innings exploit gave Chittagong the advantage over Rajshahi, his second essay was a spectators' delight.
With Faisal blazing guns,
Chittagong reached the target in only 26.3 overs. Opener Anisul Hakim contributed 37 to the winning total.
The Faisal thunder completely overshadowed a gritty knock from Rajshahi skipper Khaled Mashud earlier in the day.
The national wicketkeeper scored a 139-ball 59 in Rajshahi's second innings effort of 196. But it gave the tourists a paltry 128-run lead.
Resuming the day on 129-6 for six, Rajshahi's hopes of posting a big lead revolved round Mashud. But he could only take his overnight score of 28 to a defiant halfcentury before being dismissed by sensational off-spinner Yasin Arafat.
The debutant Yasin, who hit the headlines after taking seven wickets in the first-innings, eventually finished with a match haul of 9149. He was later adjudged man-of-the-match.
Right-arm seamer Gazi Alamgir claimed three wickets conceding 29 runs in 12 overs while spinner Ahsanullah also took three for 49 runs in 25 overs.
SYLHET v KHULNA
At Sylhet, Khulna needed only 25 minutes to wrap up the match. Coming into final day's play, the hosts' last pair, which had already added a stubborn 16 overnight, needed another 91 runs to turn the table around. But they could collect only 15.
Resuming the day on 145-9, the hosts lost Tapash stumped by Hasibul Haq after adding 14 runs to his overnight score of 16. Bashir, who claimed the last wicket, finished with 5-43 in 23.3 overs. He was jointly adjudged man-of-the-match with fellow spinner Abdur Razzak Raj, who claimed seven wickets in the first-innings.
