Visitors in full control

Staff Reporter, Bogra
Zimbabwe need only two wickets to win the practice match after GP-BCB National Cricket Academy succumbed to the guiles of Raymond Price on the second day at the Shaheed Chandu Stadium in Bogra yesterday.
The visitors made up for their poor showing in the first innings by scoring 273 in 65.2 overs in their second innings. Given a target of 304 runs to win, the Academy side were in a precarious 107 for eight in 41 overs.
The GP-BCB captain had no excuses and laid the blame on tire batsmen. "Our batting has been pretty bad. We have failed to carry out responsibilities," said Nayeem after the end of day’s play.
Left-arm spinner Price took four wickets for just 21 runs as the local side lost six wickets for just 22 runs in the final session of the day. He broke the 67-run third wicket stand between Kamrul Islam and captain Nayeem Islam when Hamilton Masakadza took the catch to get rid of Kamrul for 31 off 73 balls. Nayeem was next to go, out for 36 and it was 94 for three.
Price then removed Marshall Ayub, Sajidul Islam and Nazmul Hossain as GP-BCB Academy were eight down. Mohammad Mithun remained unbeaten on five with tailender Rubel Hossain. Price apart, Tawanda Mupariwa picked up three wickets while Edward Rainsford took one wicket.
Mupariwa had opener Jahurul Islam caught at mid-off by Stuart Matsikenyeri for just one at the end of the third over, before fellow opener
Nasiruddin Faruque gave Tatenda Taibu a simple catch next ball off Rainsford.
Earlier, Masakadza added eleven runs to his overnight score of 55 but his innings ended when the impressive Nazmul Hossain had him caught behind in the 40th over. That ended a

60-run stand he had with Taibu. The diminutive righthander made 70 off 90 balls laced with seven boundaries, a perfect practice ahead of the more demanding one-day internationals.
Taibu praised his side's bowlers and said that the batsmen have improved. "The wicket was difficult in the first innings but we have improved in the second. Hamilton Masakadza batted well and so did I.
"But the bowlers have done well, particularly (Ray) Price and (Tawanda) Mupariwa," said Taibu.
Nazmul picked up four wickets while left-armer Saqlain Sajib had two.
