Tushar Imran was batting on 56 while captain Minhazul Abedin was undefeated on 16.
The only resistance offered by Brothers Union came from skipper Halim Shah with 68 while opener Sanjay (37) was the other notable run-getter.
Away at the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium, Abahani, who resumed the day on 225 for seven in 58 overs, piled up a huge 361 against Uttara Sporting Club before being all out in 97.2 overs.
Nuruzzaman ( 62 ) and Suja Irfan ( 63 ) hit half-centuries to help their team cross the 300-run mark. In reply, Uttara were 161 for five in
