Ctg in injury despair

Moniruzzaman powers Sylhet

SPORTS REPORTER
Chittagong found themselves in deep trouble in their bid to save the crucial National Cricket League match against Dhaka after their top three batsmen were ruled out due to injury in the middle of the game.
In the top-of-the-table fifth round clash, Chittagong were forced to follow-on after their first innings ended on 146 on Day Two yesterday in reply to Dhaka's massive 443. To compound the home team's woes captain Azam Iqbal and leading run-getter Nazimuddin did not turn out to bat while Test star Nafees Iqbal retired hurt on 12.
Azam dislocated a shoulder while fielding, Nazimuddin suffered a cut in his hand that needed three stitches while fielding in the slips while Nafees injured his back. Skipper Azam will be out of action for three weeks and it remains to be seen whether Nazimuddin can bat again in this match. Nafees has been advised to rest by doctors.
With 297 runs required just to make Dhaka bat again, Chittagong closed on 29 for one.
Sylhet's guest batsman Moni-ruzzaman stole the show in Khulna by hitting an unbeaten 150 against the home side. Golam Rahman missed what would have been his third century in NCL by six runs but
his and Moniruzzaman's first ton in this year's competition put Sylhet in command.
In the other match, hosts Rajshahi looked well on course to topple Barisal's first innings.
CHITTAGONG-DHAKA
Resuming on 280-5, Dhaka lost two early wickets but the tail batted magnificently to add 163 runs in just 36 overs at the Chittagong Divisional Stadium.
Neeyamur Rashid, who resumed on zero, failed to open his account while Mohanmmed Ashraful added just 11 runs to his overnight 115 as the visitors were reduced to 291-7.
But wicketkeeper Sajjad Kadir's 59 not out (91 balls) and Talha Jubair's maiden first-class fifty (50 off 56 balls) defied the home attack. Sajjad hammered 11 boundaries while Talha struck four fours and three sixes. Arafat Sunny also chipped in with 33 runs with six boundaries.
Chittagong sent wicketkeeper Mohammed Rabbi and Ilias Sunny to open their innings in absence of the key batsmen but the ploy did not work as Khaled Mahmud ripped through the top order coming in as first change. The Dhaka skipper grabbed 3-35 as Chittagong stumbled to 54-3 but Rabbi's 64 rescued them from disaster.
Rabbi cracked 11 fours in 104 balls but the makeshift opener failed in the second innings when he was dismissed for only two.
KHULNA-SYLHET After a frustrating rain-filled opening day when only 9.2 overs were possible, visiting Sylhet made full use of an uninterrupted Day Two after Moniruzzaman and Rahman shared a 206-run opening stand.
Moniruzzaman, who has struck a rich vein of form, was still there when his adopted side finished the day on 326-5.
Rahman had raced to 94 before the left-hander was clean bowled by Khulna off-spinner Jamaluddin Babu. But during his innings Rahman became the fourth batsman after Barisal's Shahin Hossain (510 runs), Hasanuzzaman Rosel of Rajshahi (463) and Dhaka's Khaled Mahmud (428) to cross the 400 mark this season. His 182-ball innings had 12 fours.
Moniruzzaman, a prolific rungetter in the domestic scene, played 325 balls with 19 hits across the fence. Sylhet captain Alok Kapali (1) was the high-profile disappointment on a day that his side dominated.
RAJSHAHI-BARISAL
An unbroken 135-run sixth wicket stand between Hasanuzzaman Rosel and Anisur Rahman took Rajshahi within 32 runs of taking a first-innings lead against Barisal at the Rajshahi Divisional Stadium.
Rajshahi, who restricted Barisal to 265, lost both their openers with ten runs on board but Forhad Reza's 68 steadied the innings. Along with the other Forhad (Forhad Hossain), he shared 87 for the third wicket but then the home side slumped to 99-5.
Rosel and Anisur however, spent the remaining time without any further difficulty as Rajshahi closed on 234-5.
Rosel was batting on 73 (12
fours) while Anisur's 60 not out had eight boundaries.
