Biman flying high

Abahani win, Mohammedan lose

Sports Reporter
Biman remained on top of the Premier Cricket League table while defending champions Abahani kept breathing on the leaders' neck after the sixth round but Mohammedan, one of the pre-league favourites and this year's Twenty20 ■ champions, suffered yet another defeat yesterday.
The three matches that were stopped midway through on Wednesday due to the BDR mutiny in the city, finished yesterday with Biman cruising to a six-wicket win over winless City Club, Abahani beating Old DOHS by 27 runs and Surjo Torun inflicting a five-wicket defeat on Mohammedan.
The Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM), meanwhile, has decided to put off the league for further two days. Situation permitting, the league will resume on March 1.
BIMAN-CITY
Biman maintained hundred per cent record as a 148-run opening stand between Nazmus Sadat and Zahid Niaz throttled the national airliners to 237 for four at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.
Resuming on 41 without loss in reply to City's modest 236-9, Sadat hit 75 off 86 balls and Pakistani batsman Niaz 92 off 127 during a 30-over partnership.
Sadat sent the ball nine times into the fence while man-of-the-match Niaz, who was run out just eight short of what would have been his first hundred in Dhaka, smashed five fours and four sixes. He had also taken four wickets for 39 In the City essay.
There was little left for the rest of the Biman batters but Jahurul Islam quickfired 37 off 40 deliveries as Biman sealed their sixth victory with nearly three overs to spare.
ABAHANI-DOHS
Despite Wasim Nayeem's powerful stroke making during a 118-ball 90, Old DOHS crashed to their second successive defeat after staying on top till the fourth round.
Apart from a 73-run association with Ejaj Ahmed (32) for the second wicket after resuming on 33-0 while chasing a mammoth 291 - run target at the Fatullah Stadium, Pakistani opener Nayeem got little support. Having hit nine fours and a six, he was trapped in front by Arafat Sunny, leaving the side 127 runs short of the target
But to get those runs in 14 overs proved too much for the DOHS middle-order and tail although Abahani missed their injured captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza. With the new ball, Shubhashish Roy was die peak of Abahani attack with 3-32 from seven overs to restrict the opponents to 263-8.
Former Indian interna tional Venugopal Rao was adjudged man-of-the-match for his 77 off 82 balls in the Abahani innings.
TORUN-MOHAMMEDAN Khaled Mashud's Surjo Torun joined Abahani at second place with five wins from six games after they rattled 163-5 with 13 overs remaining at BKSP.
The early dismissal of inform Indian opener Sandeep Sharma on Wednesday did not affect their chase of a paltry target set by struggling giants Mohammedan as Junaid Siddique and Hannan Sarker added exactly 50 runs to their overnight 31 1.
Both the batsmen contributed 33 runs after afterwards, Anisur Rahman's 41 off 50 balls eased Surjo Torun's way to hand Mohammedan their third loss in the fray after a lie and two wins.
Surjo Torun's Saqlain Sajib was man-of-the-match after mopping the Mohammedan tail with 3-22 from ten overs.
