Sadat, Shuvo shine

Sports Reporter
Nazmus Sadat and Sohrawardy Shuvo put on brilliant all-round shows as Khulna and Rajshahi took joint lead in the National
Cricket League's one-day competition after exciting wins in the fourth round yesterday.
After hammering a 97-ball 87, opener Sadat grabbed three wickets for 40 to help Khulna snatch a two-run victory against Dhaka in a last-ball thriller at the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium.
It was Shuvo's turn at BKSP where the leftarm spinner bagged 3-35 after hitting 62 to shape Rajshahi's 17-run defeat of Sylhet, coleaders of the previous round.
In the other match, Barisal put an end to their two-match losing streak with a 30-run victory against Chittagong at the Fatullah Stadium.
Rajshahi and Khulna now have six points each, followed by Sylhet and Barisal on four and Dhaka and Chittagong at the bottom on two.
KHULNA-DHAKA
Amit Majumder contributed 37 during a 117-run opening stand with Sadat but Khulna failed to utilise the good start. Despite Sadat's domination over the rival bowlers, which saw him hitting a dozen boundaries inclusive of two sixes, they were bundled out for 231.
Dhaka recovered from a top-order collapse but most of the batsmen including captain Mahmudullah Riyad (32) and Nadif Chowdhury (24) wasted good starts as they were reduced to 178-9 by the 44th over.
Khulna, however, faced an unexpected challenge by the unbroken last wicket stand between Mohammed Azim (39 off 27 balls) --who smashed two fours and three sixes -- and Ashraful Khan (9), who fell just three runs shy of the required 54 runs from the last 38 deliveries to reach the target.
RAJSHAHI-SYLHET
The inserted Rajshahi were 19-4 but skipper Anisur Rahman (36) halted the initial debacle before Shuvo (62 off 95 balls) and Sabbir

Rahman (44 off 55 balls) put on 105 runs for the seventh wicket to give the first-class champions a respectable total of!92.
Sylhet lost their way in the middle, losing wickets virtually every ten runs to reach 175. Shanjamul Islam was the wrecker in chief claiming 4-11 in seven overs while Shuvo mopped the tail by taking a couple in the final over including the scalp of Tapash Ghosh (37), the second highest scorer after one-down Monir Hossain (43).
BARISAL-CHITTAGONG
Monwar Hossain's fiery opening spell helped Barisal defend a moderate 162-9 against Chittagong, who never recovered from a precarious 28-6 and were bowled out for 132.
Monwar's nine overs cost the pacer just 11 runs for four wickets while his new ball partner Arafat Salahuddin chipped in with 2-23.
