Dhaka rule on numbers

SPORTS REPORTER
Dhaka won a two-way heady battle with Sylhet to lift the first-class competition for the second time after toppling current holders Khulna on the last day of the Ispahani Mirzapore Tea Fifth National League yesterday.
Dhaka made what was supposed to be a tough task look simple when they bowled out Khulna for 179 to register a comprehensive 152-run victory at the Shamsul Huda Stadium in Jessore.
Sylhet, who were tantalisingly close to lifting their maiden first-class title, did their part to finish on equal points with Dhaka defeating Rajshahi by 139 runs on home soil. But they were denied glory after the calculators showed they had an inferior run per wicket (25.55) compared to Dhaka's (27.17). It came into play after both teams finished on 42 points on completion of 10 home and away games.
Although Sylhet scored more runs (4446 runs) then their rivals Dhaka (3805) but they lost 174 wickets compared to Dhaka's 140, which ultimately cost them dearly.
But when the two teams went into the final day the odds were stacked against Dhaka, who needed to capture all ten Khulna wickets.
The capital outfit, who won the third edition in 2001-2002, however beat the clock and their opponents in style, dismissing Khulna in just 31.1 overs.
Left-arm spinner Illias Sunny led the Khulna demolition with 334 after occasional bowler Mehrab Hossain made early in-roads
dismissing opener Sanjay and one-down Salauddin cheaply.
Illias, who scored a brilliant 94 in Dhaka's first innings of 358, then ripped through Khulna's middleorder before skipper Sanwar Hossain mopped up the tail claiming 4-12 off only 13 deliveries.
Illias was later adjudged man-of-the-man for his brilliant allround show.
Away at the Sylhet Stadium, the home team also wasted little time to knock over the remaining five Rajshahi wickets in 13.1 overs. The victory for Sylhet could have come much earlier had Rajshahi captain Nuruzzaman not fought so bravely with 55 off 50 balls.
But despite the victory, news of Dhaka's success against Khulna left Sylhet players dejected.
Meanwhile, the inconsequential game involving Chittagong and Barisal at the Barisal Stadium ended in a tame draw.
Resuming the final day on 191-6, Barisal took their second innings total to 293 thanks to a defiant 76 by number nine batsmen Ali Arman. It gave the home team a lead of255 runs.
Chittagong were 36-2 when both captains agreed to call it a day.
