Biman, DOHS soar high

MSC ride on Imtiaz's ton

Sports Reporter
Fast bowler Alamgir Kabir piloted Bangladesh Biman to a two-wicket triumph over Victoria in the Premier League at the Fatullah Cricket Stadium yesterday.
The well-built Rajshahi paceman took three wickets as Victoria posted a competitive 241-9 in 50 overs and then Alamgir came back to score a crucial 26 to give Biman its third consecutive victory in the competition as the national airliner reached the target in 49.4 overs.
Away in Dhanmondi, Old DOHS fought back in the final hour to rescue a 12-run win over Sonargaon Cricketers and Mohammedan Sporting Club thanked Imtiaz Hossain for their facile win over Young Pegasus by 79 runs.
BIMAN-VICTORIA
Victoria restored themselves after Alamgir removed Gazi Salahuddin in the 12th over, caught behind by Sajjad Kadir.
Nasiruddin Faruque and Farhad Hossain shared a 63-run second wicket stand with both batsmen hitting 40 and 48 respectively. Farhad struck five boundaries in his 75-balll innings but failed to get a fifty for the second match in a row.
Alamgir returned to dismiss discarded national all-rounder Mahmudullah Riyad after he made 39 off as many deliveries.
In their reply, Biman skipper Sanwar Hossain held the innings together with a typically composed 51 off 70 balls but after their eighth wicket fell in the 46th over, Victoria were in with a chance. But man-of-the-match Alamgir and Mahbubul Alam Robin ensured Biman got the two points with an unbeaten ninth
wicket stand worth 37 runs. Alamgir cracked 26 while Robin supported him with 20 not out.
OLD DOHS-SONARGAON
Old DOHS's innings was built around contributions from Saquib Razzak, Hamidul Islam and their Hong Kong-based Pakistani recruit MonirAhmed.
Saquib smashed eight boundaries in his 44-ball 40 while wicketkeeper-batsman Hamidul, batting at three, anchored the innings with 68 from 110 balls with two fours and two sixes.
But it was Munir's quickfire 54 off 53 balls that added impetus to the Old DOHS innings. He smashed three boundaries and two huge sixes, including one that was reverse swept. But his dismissal sparked a mini-collapse and Sonargaon kept Old DOHS at 240-9 in 50 overs.

game after a good start from openers Mehrab Hossain and Elias Sunny, who added 60 for the first wicket. Their chase looked set to be fruitful after Mohammad Humayun (48) and Arman Hossain (43) were in cruise control. But it was the Pakistan-born Munir who turned the tide DOHS's way with a three-wicket burst. The man-of-the-match removed Arman, Sonargaon’s dangerous Pakistani recruit Fahadullah and Saif to put DOHS back in the driver's seat.
Anisur Rahman took the last wicket as Old DOHS enjoyed their second consecutive defeat while Sonargaon lost their second game out of three outings.
MSC-YOUNG PEGASUS
Man-of-the-match Imtiaz Hossain cracked nine boundaries in his 117-ball 101 as Mohammedan reached 225-9 in 50 overs.
Rashedul Haque (30), Aqeel Arshad (32) and Suharwardi Shuvo (23*) gave Imtiaz good support but Sabbir Rahman countered the giants with figures of 3-
30 from seven overs.
But Young Pegasus were never in the hunt after they lost their batting mainstays by the 20th over asTareqAziz and Shuvo took three wickets each as the losing side scored 146-9 in 50 overs.

2007 before stepping down in April last year, was unveiled as coach of the Ganguly-led Kolkata in the eight-team franchise T\venty20 league due to start on April 18.
Ganguly dealt Buchanan's Australia a surprise defeat when he captained India to a memorable comeback test series win in 2001.
Each team franchise was sold for millions of dollars. The "Kolkata Knight Riders" were bought for 75.09 million dollars by a consortium that includes Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan.
Young Indian paceman Ishant Sharma (950,000 dollars), West Indies opener Chris Gayle (800,000 dollars) and New Zealand wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum (700,000 dollars) were among the main picks by the team at a high-profile auction last month which saw 75 players snapped up.
"It's a good opportunity for the Indian players and young aspirants to work and gain experience from world's top players," Buchanan said.
