Manjarul, Alamgir inspire BD A

SPORTS REPORTER
Captain Alok Kapali's bat failed to inspire yet again but the Bangladesh A side still managed to pull off a nail-biting two-run victory over touring Zimbabwe A in a low scoring first limited-over clash of the five-match series at the Shaheed Chandu Stadium in Bogra yesterday.
Chasing 157 for a win, Zimbabwe made a hash of things and lost their last wicket on 154 as number eleven Mwayenga was run out by Tareq Aziz Khan with three balls to go in the stipulated 50 overs.
Earlier, the star-studded batting order of the home side boasting atleast three Test players, flopped after Kapali had won toss and decided to bat. In the end, it was left to the fighting Manzarul Islam Rana to rally the team around. The lefthander's 53 off 85 balls was the only innings of note as the A side recovered from 60 for six to 156 for 9. 30 extras were the second best contribution to the unconvincing total.
Kapali continued with his dismal run of from making just five. Fellow Test caps Mohammad Ashraful (11) and Al-Shahriar (5) also couldn't lift themselves.
The talented paceman Thinashe Panyangara, Piet Rinke and Elton Chigumbura captured two wickets each.
However, with the ball in hand, the second string Bangladesh side reacted strongly and right-arm quick bowler Gazi Alamgir led the charge with four wickets.
Zimbabwe A lost their first wicket in the opening over as Tereq
Aziz sent back Rinke. But the experienced Trevor Gripper (28) and Vusumuzi Sibanda (27) repaired the damage by putting on 53 for the second wicket before Alamgir rattled the stumps of Sibanda.
Richard Sims was doing a Manjarul for his team but his 110-ball 40 was ended by Kapali who had Sims stumped by wicketkeeper Dhimn Ghosh.
Alamgir picked up wickets regularly and his ten overs yielded just 26 runs. Left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak Raj also bowled superbly in his A team debut and took two for 16 off 10.
Manjarul, who also snared a wicket was adjudged man of the match
The second game of the series will be take place at the same venue on Tuesday. SCORECARD
