Khelaghar's dream come true

Sports Reporter
In the most dramatic promotion race in the history of First Division Cricket, Khelaghar Samaj Kalyan Sangha lifted their maiden title with a six-wicket victory over fellow challengers Eskaton Sabuj Sangha at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium yesterday.
On a day when any two of four teams -- Khelaghar, Kalabagan, Eskaton and Baridhara -- could have earned the right to play the country's most coveted domestic competition, Khelaghar came up trumps as they first bowled out Eskaton for a meagre 85 runs in 33.2 overs and then reached the target in 34.1 overs with Riazul (36’) and Anamul (21*) at the crease when the winning runs were scored.
Khelaghar. who earned promotion into First Division only last season, became champions with 24 points from 16 games, two ahead of runners-up Kalabagan Krira Chakra who also won their final Super League game by a convincing margin of nine wickets against Jatrabari Krira Chakra at the Fatullah Cricket Stadium.
But at the Mirpur venue it was the Khelaghar bowlers who ruled the roost once the dangerous Eskaton openers Saddam (21) and Rohan (20) were removed after a flying start. Left-arm spinners Samiul and Shaker took two wickets each.
Based in the city's Farmgate area. Khelaghar also lifted the inaugural Twenty20
tournament to make it a unique and first-ever double in local cricket.
"Our boys played really well and definitely it was our team spirit that was important in this result," said the club's cricket committee member Mizanur Rahman.
"We wanted to reach the Super League but even during the club transfers, we had an eye for the big stage. We added Aslam Ali from Surjo Tarun just days before the transfers (in January)," said Mizan who also named players like Rakib, Shaker, Niaz Morshed, Anamul, Samiul and Tutul as some of the outstanding performers.
In Narayanganj, Kalabagan blazed past Jatrabari to regain their place in the Premier League after being demoted last season. After bowling out Jatrabari for just 173 in 48.3 overs with wickets from left-armers Rokibul (2-21) and Apurba (2-28), the in form openers Shaon (99) and Tareq (75") took only 34.1 overs to knock off the runs.
Baridhara Dazzlcrs, another team who had a semblance of a chance if Kalabagan and Eskaton both lost, also won their last game by 11 runs against Azad Sporting Club at the Dhaka University ground.
Legspinner Nur Hossain Munna took three for 21 to make it 47 wickets this season, a record in domestic one-day cricket. He broke 1 igers left-arm spinner Enamul Haque Jr's 46-wicket mark made eight seasons ago.
A: the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium, Bangladesh Boys (239-7 in 38.3 overs) defeated Indira Road (246-9) by three wickets by the Duckworth-Lewis method after rain interrupted play for 30 minutes in the afternoon.
Batting first, Indira again got a good start from openers Shujon (73) and Rubel (62) and it was looking all Indira's way when paceman Ashik took four for 43 but an unbroken seventh wicket stand between Azad (70‘) and Ferdous (55*) took Bangladesh Boys home.
