Gazi-Mohammedan showdown today

Sports Reporter
Gazi Tank stopped Abahani's triumphs in all major domestic games while Mohammedan crushed Biman to storm into the final of the Premier Division T\venty20 tournament at the Sher-e- Bangla National Stadium yesterday.
The final will start at 1 pm today with staterun Bangladesh Television (BTV) providing live coverage from Mirpur.
The focus was on Mashrafe Bin Mortaza and man in form Shakib Al Hasan but both failed to dish out their best in yesterday's one-sided semifinals as outgoing champions Abahani suffered an eight-wicket defeat to Mohammad Ashraful-led Gazi Tank. A youthful Mohammedan, on the other hand, inflicted a five-wicket defeat on Biman.
It was, however, out-of-favour opener Imrul Kayes who hogged the spotlight after pacer Rubel Hossain s four-wicket burst in a comfortable victory in the first semifinal against favour! tes Abahani.
Left-handed Imrul put the Abahani attack to the sword during his unbeaten 70 as Gazi Tank overhauled their opponents' 134 in 17.1 overs. Ashraful also continued his good form with an unbeaten 23-ball 29 that featured three boundaries including a magnificent winning hit over extra cover against spinner Arafat Sunny.
Man-of-the-match Imrul played shots all over the park to entertain the small crowd, his 56-ball knock featuring four boundaries and six over boundaries including one against leading paceman Mashrafe over midwicket.
Abahani had made a perfect start after being sent into bat as opener Rony Talukdar took charge but they failed to keep the momentum.
Mukter Ali gave the first breakthrough by removing Imran Ahmed for three and then Rubel fired on to claim four wickets for 24.
At 68 for four, Abahani needed something special from their skipper but national team vice-captain Mashrafe made a first-ball duck as Rubel uprooted his stumps with a yorker to dash Abahani's hopes of puttingon a fighting total.
In the second semifinal, Shamsur Rahman's stroke-filled 30-ball 43 after left-arm seamer Sajedul Islam's four-wicket haul gave Mohammedan an easy win in a low-scoring affair.
Left-arm pacer Sajedul's early destruction made sure a mismatch as Biman were bundled out for 99 after deciding to bat first.
Tareq Aziz made early inroads when he bowled Nazmus Sadat in the fourth delivery and Sajedul ripped through the top order as Biman reduced to 35-5.
Inform Shakib was the third victim of Sajedul when the left-hander mistimed a pull to sky the ball to the bowler for naught.
The late order batsmen - Abdur Razzak (17), Mahbubul Alam (22) and Shahadat (15 not out) -- salvaged the complete blushes but their efforts were not good enough.
In reply, Shamsur and Nasiruddin Faruque got off a good start as the pair added 67 runs before the former was dismissed. The right-handed Shamsur clobbered eight eyecatching boundaries while Nasiruddin contributed 34 off 36 balls that featured three fours and a six.
There was a sudden hiccup in the Mohammedan innings when they lost three quick wickets in two overs but still they reached 101 for five in 16.4 overs.
Nabil Samad claimed three wickets for 11.
