Bashar signs off century round

Sports Reporter
The sixth round of the Ispahani Sixth National Cricket League ended with a flourish when Bangladesh skipper Habibul Bashar hammered the ninth ton of this round on the final day yesterday.
Although Bashar's swashbuckling 141 was not enough for his side Khulna to enforce a result against Chittagong, this round of the first-class competition will be best remembered for an astonishing number of centuries being scored in the last four days.
Mohammad Ashraful hit 114, his second successive century, for Dhaka against Rajshahi at the Fati illah St^rlii im Mnniri izzamAn nf
Sylhet also achieved the same feat with 123 against Barisal at the Sylhet Stadium. National left-arm spinner and Khulna's Manzarul Islam cracked highest 151 among the centurions after Rahshahi's Naeem started it all with 110.
Chittagong might have played without their six front-line batsmen, but they saw two maiden first-class centurions in young wicketkeeper Dhiman Gosh (115) and off-spinner Sabbir Khan (103).
Sylhet also produced two unlikely centurions in Golam Mabud (114) and Rezaul Haq (107).
However, despite all these individual achievements the pattern in the race for title remained unchanged with holders Dhaka taking a 10-point lead after the matches between Khulna-Chittagong and Sylhet-Barisal ended in draws.
Dhaka, who won their game against Rajshahi on the third day, raised their tally to 30 points from six games. Chittagong, despite conceding first-innings lead against Khulna, improved their points to 20.
Rajshahi slipped to third position as they remained glued to their previous collection of 18 points.
Khulna have 16 points and Sylhet followed them with 14 while Barisal remained at the bottom of the six-team table with 10 points.
KHULNA-CHITTAGONG
Bashar hit a blazing 141 off 178 balls, his first first-class ton this season, as Khulna, resuming the day on 114-3, rattled up 355 in their second innings.
The dashing right-hander clubbed 20 fours and a six before being the last batsman out just before tea. Bashar, overnight 20, shared 125 runs forthe fourth wicket with Tushar Imran (68). But by the time Bashar completed his century, the game as a contest turned into a mere formality.
Chittagong, set to score 360 for win, could bat for only 20 over and scored 44-1 before bad light stopped play.
SYLHET-BARISAL
Adefiant71 byTowhid Hossain and stubborn resistance from the Barisal lower-order frustrated Sylhet on the final day.
Resuming the day on 187-6, the visitors batted for another 41.3 overs before their first innings ended at 263 with their last wicket pair batting for nearly an hour.
Although Sylhet, who scored a massive first-inning total of 478, got the chance to enforce the follow-on but decided against it in the final session.
Rather the home side did batting practice in the remaining 34 overs. They scored 119-3 with Alok Kapali hitting a breezy 55 off 42 balls.
