Daily Star end in style

Sports Reporter
Despite suffering the ignominy of a first round exit, The Daily Star bowed out with their heads held high after thumping Ittefaq by five wickets in their final group game at the Maulana Bhashani Hockey Stadium yesterday.
Put into bat, Ittefaq only managed 53 of their six overs, a total easily overhauled by The Daily Star in 2.4 overs with all their wickets intact.'
Although the game had been rendered academic after Inqilab won both their matches, The Daily Star proved that 'if you do go out, do so with all guns blazing’.
The six- shooters were firing from the very first over as Aussie import Ashfaq Wares Khan held a sharp chance to dismiss the first Ittefaq batsman in the first over bowled.
Wares had relinquished the captaincy after the first match debacle and it showed as he felt free to express himself on the field.
New captain Mohammad Isam had set n good precedent by winning the toss and Immediately putting the opposition in.
/\fter Shamim Ashraf bowled the aforementioned fiery fast over, the opposition were always on the back foot relying on ones and twos and the odd edge to the boundary.
Wares further salvaged his reputation by capturing a wicket in the second over, although that owed much to a ponderous diving effort from man-of-the-match Isam.
That was the cue for part-timer Quazi Zulquarnain to turn his arm over and a steady first over could have bought a wicket had not new recruit Quamrul Hasan grassed a sitter at mid-wicket.
Isam bamboozled the batsmen in the next over and Shariful Islam also kept it tight.
Ittefaq duly chose Zulquarnain for the final over and managed to rake up a few to take their score to 53.
But the fireworks were just beginning.
Isam came out firing on all cylinders, peppering the squareleg boundary with sixes and boundaries.
Fellow opener Shamim had the best seat in the house and he stood and watched as the captain for the day was in marauding mood.
When he retired after scoring 32, Daily Star needed just two to win, a formality duly completed by Quamrul.
Meanwhile, Channel I, ATN Bangla, Daily Destiny, BTV, Channel 1, RTV and Baisakhi TV won their respective matches.
