Biman soaring high

Sports Reporter
Mashrafe Bin Mort aza came back to haunt his old club with a blazing half-century as Biman pulled oft a comfortable 70-run victory over Ahahani in the Premier Cricket League at the Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium yesterday.
Biman, with 17 points from nine outings, replaced Mohammedan as leaders after die latter's first defeat in the league on the same day while Ahahani remained at number three.
Abahani's hopes to bounce back from the last round defeat to Victoria all but evaporated when the big-spending Biman piled up 255 for eight in their share of 50 overs on a surface where batting second is always a tricky job.
National opener Shahriar Nafees hit an unbeaten 60 but the left-hander never threatened the rivals rather the innings looked purposeless as Abahani bundled out for 185 in 49.2 overs.
Bangladesh vice-captain Mashrafe combined with elegant
Alok Kapali to take away the game from the defending champions as the pair added 124 runs for the sixth wicket stand after opener Tamim Iqbal made 59 off 72 balls before being run out.
There were few Abahani supporters in the stand to jeer their last year's hero, who had played a pivotal role in Abahani's success, but it only stirred up man-of-the-match Mashrafe to reply with a blistering knock of 76 that came from 56 deliveries.
He, however, made a cautious start and only went for the kill after 40 overs and his knock contained four boundaries and three sixes --one each off left-arm spinners Mohammad Rafique and Arafat Sunny and pacer Ziaur Rahman.
Mashrafe must have thanked Abahani skipper TUshar Imran not to test him with some bouncers, which usually makes him nervous in the start of an innings, rather allowing the spinners to give him comfort.
Stylish Kapali's 68 off 74 balls featuring three fours and a six. however, was the one to watch as the out-of-favour batsman played sensibly to build the partnership with flashy Mashrafe by rotating the strike.
On the other hand, Nafees was totally a contrast in his batting as it seemed that he was more interested to follow the national 'team rule' and not hit over-the-top, which surely was the demand of the day.
Although wickets fell at the other end at regular intervals the lefthander, who played the last halfhour with a runner, hardly gave the impression that he wanted to win the match during his 115-ball essay that saw three fours and a six.
TUshar again failed with the bat, scoring 17 after Jahurul Islam (30) and Mahbubul Karim added 30 runs.
Kapali was the peak of the Biman attack, taking 3-30 with his leg-breaks while Niaz Murhsed and Musharraf Hossain each picked up two.
