Bangladesh Cricket Control Board (BCCB) XI made an un-ceremonfous exit from Moin-uddowla Gold Cup Invitational limited over cricket tournament when they lost to Chempiast Club by 43 runs at the Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium yesterday, according to a faxed message received at the BCCB office last night.

BCCB, who had earlier got off to a roaring start with a 52-run win against Hyderabad Cricket Association, were let down yesterday by some dismal batting In a rather low scoring match.

After having bowled out Chempiast for 141 1n 48.5 overs, seven balls short of the stipulated quota of 50 overs. BCCB crumbled against the accurate off-spin bowling of Asht* Kapur.

Ashls. who had toured Bangladesh few years back with the junior India team, captured four wickets for 23 run* a* the Bangladesh outfit were skittled out for 98 In just 40.5 overs.

On a dicey wicket, Bangla deshl pacemen, led by left armed Go lam Nawsher Prince, once again bowled well.

The tall fast-medium bowler captured three for 3). Slow feft-armer Enamul Huq Mont, who is the deputy of skipper Mlnhazul Abedin Nannu on this tour, grabbed another three for 25. Young paceman Salful took two for 26 and Athar, who too gave away same number of runs, managed just one wicket.

Sarath was the highest scorer for Chempiast with 31 runs. He was followed by former Indian Test player Bharat Arun. The burly medium pacer scored a breezy 27 which later turned out to be the decisive factor in the outcome. Robin Singh, who played a couple of one day International matches for India, was the other notable scorer with 20.

BCCB never got going against a varied and experienced Chempiast attack. Only opener Jahangir Alam offered any resistance with a dogged 32. Skipper Nannu was out for a duck, adjudged leg before against left-arm seamer Vasu. Wicket-keeper Nasir Ahmed Nasu with 15 not out and paceman Jahangir Talukdar Dulu with 12 were the other batsmen to make It to the double figures.

Ashls apart Bharat Arun and Vasu were the more successful among the Chempiast bowlers. Both of them took two wickets each.

DCCB XI are now likely to play a couple of exhibition matches In Hyderabad before heading for Bombay where they play some practice matches before trooping back home. The previously mooted plan of taking part in Ascot trophy, a prestigious over limit competition in Delhi, has reportedly been shelved.
