Sports Reporter
Cricket. It seems, the eastern belt of the country as two school teams from ComlUa and
Sylhet entered the final of the tenth Nirman schools competition yesterday at the Dhaka Stadium following two semifinals of contrasting nature
The match between Comilla Zilla School and Chittagong Nasirabad High School at the Dhaka Stadium produced a di aosctrtcally opposite result than that was witnessed at the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium — slightly far from the madding crowd of the city centre
Magnificent batting by Inform batsmen Anis and Hlmu helped Comilla Zilla School pile up 221 for four after they had decided to bat first as skipper Lipu called correctly in the spin of the coin. Anis, who had played an eighty-plus knock in one of the earlier matches, fell just five short of what would have been a well deserved century as hts scintillating 95 of 94 balls was cut short by the most tragic form of dismissal— a run out. tn a twin bld to complete his century as well as to accelerate the team total towards the close of the innings Just how well this young man ran his singles could be measured from the fact that he sent the ball across the fence on only four occasions 1
Htmu. Anis's partner in the third-wicket stand of 169 realised tn 30 overs after two wickets had fallen for only fourteen, was equally enterprising. Comllla's man-of-the-match In the quarter-final. Htmu scored 60 off 99 balls with two boundaries before being bowled by Mohtbur. With skipper Lipu joining the act with *■ brisk unbeaten 29 and extras a helping of 21 Comilla had little trouble in reaching 221 in 40 overs.
Naslrabad skipper Zahcdul Kabir was the best bowler of his side with figures of two for 41. Mohlbur picked one for 55.
Comilla bowlers snuffed any sense of challenge that might have been there in the Chittagong batsmen as they were all oui for 117 in 35.4 overs. Opener Nazim topscored with 18 while four others—Zahcdul. Montr. Akbar and Mohlbur collected 12 each
Hassan put a spoke in the Chittagong wheel with figures of three for 19. Khokon claimed two for 17. Man ofthe-raatch Anis went one better with the leather claiming one for 19 to take his side to the final with a convincing victory of 104 runs.
The tail-scoring order of the day was not reversed elsewhere. at the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium. In the match between Sylhet Aided High School and Dhanmondi Government Boys’ High School, but the match-deciding margin there was infinitely closer. Sylhet Aided High School, aided by cluster efforts swept the last vestige of a city challenge with an exciting 10-run victory.
Like the winners at the Dhaka Stadium. Sylliet won the toss here and rattled up 223 for seven wickets in their quota of 40 overs.
Openers Rabat and Parvez built the best opening partnershlp ot tnc tournament so far with 105 runs in 24 2 overs Rabat was first to go leg before lo Moudud for a well made 45 off 78 bolls studded with four fine fours.
His partner Parvez went on to topscore with 56. made off84 balls and punctuated with one sixer and three bound aries. A couple of useful knocks like a rapid 34 form Takku. Kawscr's 25 off 18 balls and the inexorable extras amounting to 38 gave the total a very solid, reassuring look — 223 at the end of 40 overs.
The bowlers of the Dhaka school obviously had a ’field day’ really sweating it out there in sultry and humid conditions of a late April day that was marked by intermittent hide-and-seek by the searing sun and ashen clouds that held no promise of relief.
Tanvir was the pick of the lot with figures of two for 38. Babu bagged two for 39 while Moudud claimed two for 40.
Gallant Willow wielding by Moudud— one of the most consistent performers of the tournaihent — failed to puddle Dlianmondl to Its goal us they fell short of the target by ten runs when the veers ran ouL
Moudud remained not out on 43. made off 35 balls cm belllshed with one four and a delightful sixer. Tanvir scored 37. white Dlpu and Babu got 26. with the latter remaining unbeaten as hts side reached 213 for six wickets.
Sylhet were lucky to get away with the highest number of extras of the day— 43— not good enough to serve tlx pur pose- of the losers.
The Sylhet bowlers were not spared from going through the hoop. too. but Imdadul managed a respectable analy sis of two wickets for 30 while Rabat claimed two for 56 and Parvez one for 41.
Moudud had the rard distinction of being nominated man-of-lhe-match from the losing side for hts fine all-round show.
