Sports Reporter
Abahani overcame a hurdle in their attempt to retain the Premier Division Cricket League title when they handed a six-wicket defeat to Surjo Torun at the Fatullah Cricket Stadium yesterday.
After Mashrafe Bin Mortaza’s three wickets haul, Indian Venugopal took the charge with a run-a-ball 66 as Abahani secured a comfortable victory against Surjo Torun who upset Biman in the previous round.
With the seventh win. the Dhanmondi outfit secured the top spot by rattling up 14 points but Biman follows them with 12 points having played one match less.

improved their tally to six points with the third victory while CCS remained on six points from same number of outings.
ABAHANI-SURJO TORUN Nazmul Hossain gave the early breakthrough by removing Indian Sandeep Shanna for four runs after Surjo Torun decided to bat first but an 83-run second wicket partnership between Zunaed Siddiqui
and Hannan Sarker consolidated their position.
Nasir Hossain broke the partnership when he clean bowled Hannan for 45 runs
but it was Mashrafe who claimed two quick wickets by sending back nationalpartners Zunaed and Rajin Saleh to the pavilion as Surjo Torun were reduced to 138 for five.
Surjo Torun finally managed 201 before being bundled out in 49.4 overs.
In reply, Tamim Iqbal and Rony Talukdar made a solid start before the former fell victim of run out for nine runs to put an end to the opening stand for 31 runs. Imran /Xhmed then joined Rony to add 64-run in the second wicket to steady the ship. Imran scored 33 off 66 balls with three fours.

PARTEX-CCS Uttam Sarker missed a deserved hundred as the opener was dismissed in the nervous nineties but his effort helped CCS to put up a decent total of 212 for nine after being sent into bat first.
