Rajin's near miss

Sports Reporter
PHOTO STAR Sylhet's Rajin Saleh sets off for a single after driving the ball to the offside during his knock of 94 on the first day of the National Cricket League seventh round four-dayer against Dhaka at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur yesterday.
If 250 runs are standard targets in a day's play then the seventh round of the Ispahani Mirzapore Tea 10th National League almost got off to a perfect start at different venues across the country yesterday.
Sylhet were a bit better scoring 256-5 after 90 overs against Dhaka at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. Leaders Barisal scored 240-8 against host Khulna. Rajshahi, who dropped to second place after the sixth round, also scored 240 against host Chittagong but lost all their wickets.
The day was marked by as many as seven half centuries with Sylhet enjoying the better share of them. And it could have been a hundred had not Rajin Saleh missed the magical mark for just six runs.
Still, Rajin who had failed to board the Bangladesh plane to South Africa after a disappointing performance against New Zealand at home, led the Sylhet charge against an understrength Dhaka with a fine 94 off 218 balls that featured a dozen boundaries. Opener Imran (58) and Kamrul Islam (56 not out) also played their part in the impressive Sylhet total which is set to prosper with five wickets still standing.
Rajin shared 134 runs for the fourth wicket with Kamrul after being sent into bat by Dhaka captain Javed Omar. Kamrul struck seven four in his undefeated 179-ball knock
It was hard all day for Dhaka bowlers with Azim getting some sort of success, claiming three wickets for 46 runs.
BARISAL-KHULNA
League leaders Barisal rode on fifties from opener Nasiruddin Faruque (61) and wicketkeeper Shaheen Hossain (58) on their way to a fighting 240-8 against Khulna at the Khulna Divisional Stadium.
Faruque gave Barisal a sound start but a middle-order collapse saw the visitors slump to 130-6 before Shaheen’s fighting innings salvaged them. Coming in to bat at number seven, the right-hander struck eight fours in his patient 134-ball knock. Robiul Islam with 3-48 was the most successful Khulna bowler while medium pacer Dollar Mahmud picked up two wickets for46 runs.
RAJSHAHI-CHITTAGONG
At the Chittagong Divisional Stadium Sohrwardi Shuvo scored a battling 56 to give Rajshahi a face-saving total against a disciplined Chittagong attack
The visitors got off to a good start with Jahurul Islam (31) and Hamidul Islam (24)
producing 48 runs in the opening stand. But they kept losing their wickets at regular intervals with batsmen throwing the initiatives away after having a start. Shuvo struck five fours in his patient 162-ball knock. For Chittagong Younus, Rezaul Karim, Kamrul Islam and Masumuddowla took two wickets each.
