Tamim gives Premier T20 a kick-start

Sports Reporter
Flamboyant national opener Tamim Iqbal struck a blistering 60 to give defending champions Mohammedan Sporting Club an easy ride over Victoria Sporting Club at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur yesterday.
His knock also ensured a kick-start to the Big Boss Premier T20 League that saw six matches being played at three different venues
Tamim, who joined Mohammedan this year from Abahani with a record-equalling transfer fee. was arguably the chief entertainer on the opening day of the season's curtain-raiser, hammering 13 fours.
The Tamim thunderbolt struck the lush greenery of country's home of cricket moments after Mohammedan were put into bat. He made batting look ridiculously simple as he flayed the Victoria bowlers, pacers and spinners alike, to all corners of the ground. Tamim was not hundred per cent Gt to start and soon he had to opt for a runner. But his batting showed no signs of pain as he raced to 60 runs off just 26 balls in just six overs, while his partner at the other end. Shamsur Rahman, was a mere spectator as he was yet to open his account. And it was Rahman’s wrong judgement on a single that drew the curtains on a thoroughly entertaining knock from Tamim. Mohammad Ashraful strode in and played some innovative shots and gave
good company to Rahman who played a sedate yet effective knock of 42 runs off 48 deliveries. Ashraful lasted 23 runs and all-rounder Aftab Ahmed scored 30. Power hitting in the last five overs yielded 54 runs and lifted the score to 174 for the loss of four wickets after 20 overs.
The score proved more than enough for Mohammedan as their opponents never kept in pace with the run rate after a very cautious first five overs where they scored only 29 runs. Captain Mohammad Sharifs 42 and Ashraful Aziz's 26 were the only notable contributions in a lost cause. Mohammedan spinner Nabil Samad took two wickets conceding only 16 runs. Tamim Iqbal, for his extravagant batting, was adjudged man-of-the-match.
Abahani. without their inspirational captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza and world's best allrounder Shakib Al Hasan, laboured to a three-wicket win against Kalabagan Krira Chakra under lights at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.
National captain Mashrafe and his deputy Shakib sat out the match, nursing injuries.
Chasing a modest Kalabagan total of 107-9, the popular Dhanmondioutfit crawled to 109-7 with nine balls to spare. Nasir Hossain scored a match-winning unbeaten 22. Abahani paceman Subashih Roy was adjudged man-of-the-match for picking up three wickets for 13 runs.
There were fireworks at Fatullah also where all-rounder Alok Kapali blasted 48 off just 20 balls and then took three wickets for 13 runs to

script an easy 83-run win for title-contenders Gazi Tank over Cricket Coaching School.
Alok, who defected to the rebel Indian Cricket League last year, took the lead after fellow defector Nazim Uddin blasted 60 off 28 balls while Mithun scored 55 off 27 balls to help their team post a massive 215 in their share of 20 overs.
Cricket Coaching School could manage only 132-8 in their chase.
Other title contenders, Biman comfortably flew past BKSP's paltry total of M7 in 19 overs losing only two wickets to script an easy win at the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium. Stylish batsman Mehrab Hossain produced a matchwinning performance for Biman with 62 runs off 49 deliveries.
