Rajshahi atop

Sports Reporter
Rajshahi went on top of the National Cricket League one-day competition after their three-wicket win over Khulna at the Fatullah
Stadium yesterday.
It was their fourth win in five matches, taking them to eight points. Barisal are in second spot now with six points along with Khulna, thanks to their win over Dhaka by four wickets at the BKSP ground.
In Dhanmondi, Chittagong scripted their second win, beating Sylhet by 27 runs in a shortened game of 30-overs-a-side. Left-arm paceman Kamrul Islam picked up brilliant figures of six for 47 from just 5.5 overs.
KHULNA-RAJSHAHI
Despite Murad Khan's four wickets, Khulna failed to defend a low total of only 161 runs.
Rajshahi stalwart Khaled Mashud made sure of the win with Shahzada Hossain in the 39th over after opener Hamidul Islam made a patient 47 off 77 balls with just three boundaries.
Earlier, left-arm spinner Sanjamul Islam took three for 15 from 8.3 overs to skittle out Khulna and pick up the man-of-the-match award. Only skipper Tushar Imran made some runs, scoring 51 off 95 balls.
BARISAL-DHAKA
Abul Bashar's accurate spin got him five wickets and moreover stalled Dhaka's final push for a big score as they settled for 187 in 50 overs.
Shamsur Rahman made a slow 56 while Javed Omar, coming in late at six, scored 32.
In reply, Barisal fell in early trouble before Shahin Hossain and Nasir Hossain added 120 runs for the fourth wicket. Shahin made 65 off 113 balls while man-of-the-match Nasir remained not out on 73 with five boundaries and a six.

CHITTAGONG-SYLHET Left-armer Kamrul tookout the Sylhet top three before adding three tail-ender wickets to finish with the best one-day bowling figures of the season.
Chittagong batted first and made 207-6 from 30 overs after the match started more than three hours late due to a wet pitch at the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium. Ashraful Hossain blasted 66 off 68-balls with eight boundaries.
Sylhet had little chance in the face of KamruTs spell and only Saikat Ali made a quickfire 33 off 22 balls as they folded for 180 in 26.5 overs.
