Mohammedan's Fifth Loss

City, Torun and Victoria join Abahani in semis

Sports Reporter
City Club joined Abahani as surprise semifinalists of the Premier Division 1\venty20 Cricket League yesterday as contenders Bangladesh Biman and Kalabagan both fell on the last day of the group stage.
City Club handed Kalabagan a seven-wicket defeat for their third win while Biman crashed to BKSP as the equation in the group changed on the final day.
Abahani emerged group champions maintaining 100 percent record when they routed archrivals and last year's champions -Mohammedan Sporting Club by four wickets.
In their worst ever performance in any competition, a depleted Mohammedan failed to win a single match in the league.
In the last four. Abahani will face Surjo Torun while City are pitted against Group B winners and allwin Victoria.
BKSP, who had upset Mohammedan on their Premiership debut, lost three matches in succession before pulling off another impressive victory - by 30 runs -against one of the pre-toumament favourites at their home ground.
Having scored 120-6 with skipper Salmon Ahmed and Monirul Haque smashing 42 and 34 respectively, BKSPbooked Biman for just 90.
Moshiur Rahman; the young seamer who has already drawn attention, was adjudged man-of-the-match for his devastating spell of4-0-17-4.
Biman must rue their washed out match against Kalabagan, the only game to be postponed due to bad weather.
Kalabagan also wasted their
chances when they were shot out for 96 after being sent into bat at BKSP. Golam Mabud's unbeaten half-century helped City recover from early hiccups to reach 98-3 wiihGye balls remaining.
Mohammedan, who have lost key players due to national duty, put on their best performance of the season but even a challenging total of 148-4 was not enough for them to survive at BKSP
Faisal Hossain clubbed four fours and three sixes in a 33-ball 53 while Rokibul Hasan contributed 40 off 29 balls as Mohammedan rattled 68 runs in the last five overs.
Abahani were tottering at 25-4 as Mohammedan skipper Manjurul Islam (4-24) struck early but wicketkeeper Sahagir Hossain (43 off 42 balls) and pace bowler Ziaur Rahman (35 off 20 balls) produce late fireworks to guide
