Imrul's ton takes NCA home

Staff Correspondent, Ctg
Imrul Kayes continued his rich vein of form with a blazing hundred as GP-BCB National Cricket Academy (NCA) secured a clinical 75-run victory over South Africa Academy to get off to a flying start in the trination Grameenphone Academy Cup one-day series at the Chittagong Divisional Stadium yesterday.
The left-hander, who hit 152 in the first four-day game against the same opponents, put the South Africans attack to the sword during his 104-ball 113 that contained 16 boundaries and two sixes as the home team managed a desent 235 before being all out in 47.3 overs.
Imrul was aptly complemented by Nasir Hossain who hit 52 off 63 balls with the help of two sixes and as many fours.
Nasir was also successful with his off-spin as he claimed three wickets for 24 and left-arm spinner
Suhrawardi Shuvo also picked up three wickets for 31 to wrap up their opponents for 160 runs in 45.5 overs.
Neil Wagner gave the visitors a confident start after the home side decided to bat first by removing Jahurul Islam for 9 with the scoreboard reading 23 but captain Nasiruddin Faruque and Imrul added 38 for the second wicket stand to repair the damage. Captain Faruque was dismissed for 21 off 33 deliveries that had four boundaries.
Imrul and Nasir however steadied the ship through their 60-run fifth wicket stand.
South Africa Academy made a disastrous start by losing two wickets for six runs with the new ball pair Nazmul Hossain and Dollar Mahmud picking up one each.
The only resistance came from opener Sammy-Joe Avontuur in the top-order but his 65-ball 39 was not good enough to challenge the home side as the wickets fell like ninepins at the other end.
The result could have been
much worse for the visitors if the last pair Mafinki Serame and Abdul AzizTemoor could not manage the highest partnership of 48 runs.
Serame was not out on 22 while Temoor contributed 30 off 33 balls.
GP-BCB Academy take on Pakistan Academy in the second match today at the same venue.
