Abahani in semis

Shakib shines in Biman win

Sports Reporter
Abahani became the first team to qualify for the semifinals of the Dhaka Premier Division T\venty20 tournament when the defending champions crushed Young Pegasus Club by seven wickets at BKSP yesterday.
Being put into bat first, Pegasus could only muster up 102 for six in the allotted 20 overs. Abahani skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza bowled beautifully to pick up two wickets in his 4-over spell including two maidens on way the side's fourth win in as many matches.
Pegasus captain Abul Bashar top scored with an unbeaten 49 of 48 balls that included four boundaries and one six. He later captured all three wickets as Abahani cruised to a humble target of 103 with two overs to spare.
Opener Rony Talukdar shone with a run-a-ball 56 to seal his team's spot in the last four.
Mohammedan returned to winning ways after losing to Abahani when they handed a 15-run defeat to Old DOHS at the Fatullah Stadium and push themselves closer to the semifinals.
Electing to field first, DOHS restricted Mohammedan to 130-8 in the morning match. However, their efforts were outclassed when the Mohammedan attack, led by former national pacer Tareq Aziz, made Old DOHS fall 15 runs. Mohammedan now need to win their last game against Partex to confirm a spot in Sunday's semifinals.
Sensational newcomers Gazi Tank, led by national captain Mohammad Ashraful, stumbled to their first defeat when they crashed to
Birnan by 18 runs at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.
Ace all rounder Shakib Al Hasan began where he had left off for the national team, smashing a swashbuckling 46 of 23 balls to propel Biman to a combating total of 159-4.
Inform Shakib's first innings in the competition was laced with three boundaries and three sixes and lasted just 26 minutes in the middle. He was ably supported by former national cap TUshar Imran who remained not out on 37 with one four and two sixes.
Naeem Islam bowled a tight spell of four overs to take 2-18 for Gazi Tank, who managed 141 -6 in reply despite Ashraful's 31 of 23 balls as Shakib and fellow left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak picked up two wickets apiece.
At BKSP, City Club registered their first victory when they beat Cricket Coaching School by six runs in a close match on an unusually hot afternoon.
City put up a fighting total of 142-4 after electing to bat with Rasel Al Mamur hammering 55 off 51 deliveries.
In reply opener Uttam Sarkar scored a quickfire 45 and Nizamuddin 47 but the efforts were not good enough as CCS fell six runs shy of the target.
In Mirpur, Victoria won by two wickets against Partex to add two points to their tally and BKSP defeated Surjo Torun by 18 runs at the Fatullah Stadium to keep their chances alive for a semifinal spot.
