Anything can happen

SPORTS REPORTER
All three third round four-day matches in the Ispahani Sixth National Cricket League are set for a dramatic finish on the final day after the end of third day's play at different venues across the country yesterday.
Overnight batsmen Ilias Sunny converted his fifty into a handsome hundred and Ehsanul Haque extended his ton on the day as hosts Chittagong put lowly Barisal under a heavy load of runs to brighten their chance for another outright victory.
At close of play the tourists were 85 for one and still needed 156 runs to avoid an innings defeat after the port city side declared at 479 for 7 at the Chittagong Divisional Stadium.
The match between Dhaka and Khulna at the Fatullah Cricket Stadium also heads into a thrilling last day after the visitors fought back brilliantly in their second innings to amass 415 runs that set a 262-run winning target for the home side.
Away at the Rajshahi Divisional
Stadium, the hosts took a 263-run lead with five wickets intact in their second innings against Sylhet.
CHITTAGONG v
BARISAL
Sunny hit his maiden first-class century and partnered in a towering 365-run stand with Ehsanul as Chittagong, who were 242 for 4 overnight, declared their first innings on 479 for 7 in 155 overs.
Left-handed Sunny resumed the day on 75 and went on to make 176 facing 429 balls. His marathon nine-hour innings was studded with 18 fours and two sixes.
On the other hand, national discard Ehsanul, who started the day on 106, added another 80 runs before being stumped by Barisal keeper Shaheen off Musharraf Rubel, the only successful bowler on the day with three for 80 in 38 overs.
The mammoth total gave the port city team an estimable 241-run first innings lead after restricting their opposition to 238 in the first knock.
In the second innings, Imran Ahmed and Humayun Kabir made a solid start for Barisal, but left-arm spinner Faisal Hossain broke the 81-run opening partnership as he
bowled Imran for 37.
DHAKA v KHULNA
Khulna, who were shot out for a paltry 153 in the first innings, bounced back in the second to pile up 415 and set a challenging 262-run target for Dhaka on the final day today. They resumed the day on 148-2.
Dhaka had scored 307 in their first innings.
The hosts began the day brightly, sending overnight batsmen Monirul Islam (42) and Sazzadul Hasan (32) back quickly. But Jamaluddin Babu and Mashrafee-Bin-Mortuza helped their side to reach the commanding total with timely half-centuries.
Jamaluddin hit team highest 72 off 136 balls that produced eleven boundaries while Mashrafee came up with his natural stroke-play to score 52 off 60 balls hammering five fours and two sixes.
Dhaka captain and mediumpacer Khaled Mahmud captured three wickets conceding 136 in 34 overs while left-arm spinner Arafat Sunny took three for 54 in 28 overs.
RAJSHAHI v SYLHET
The last Sylhet pair of Rezaul Haque and Hasibul Hossain added 51 runs

on the third morning, but hosts Rajshahi still took a 46-run first innings lead.
The visitors' efforts came to an end when Rezaul (25) was caught by Shamimul off Alamhir Kabir while Hasibul remained not out on 37.
Buoyed by the important first innings lead, Rajshahi scored 217 for 5 in their second innings to take an overall lead of 263, thanks to half-centuries by Jahurul Islam and Naeem Islam.
