Kalabagan down Biman

Sports Reporter
Kalabagan skipped past Biman in the Super League race as they comfortably beat the national flag carriers by 7 wickets in their Premier Division Cricket League encounter at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium yesterday. On a day of curtailed matches, title-rivals Mohammedan and Abahani got easy wins as well they defeated Cricket Coaching School and Victoria respectively.
It was a 27-over match per side at the Sher-e-Bangla as the first bites of cold were felt across the country and fog engulfed the stadia in and around Dhaka till midday. When they got down to business, Kalabagan posted a decent score on the board as they put on 201 runs losing eight wickets in their allotted 27 overs. Opener Nazmus Sadat top-scored with 56 off 49 balls while skipper Raqibul Hasan scored 41. Biman pacer Shafiul Islam was the most successful with 3 wickets for 35. Kalabagan might have thought that this was a good enough score considering the average scores of the season so far. But the Biman batsmen had other ideas. They dictated the terms right from the start as their two openers scored more than run-a-ball to stay well in touch with the required rate. Indian recruit Avishek Mitra got run out after scoring a 31-ball 42, but Mushfiqur Rahim, at the other end, played a match-winning
FROM PAGE 17 knock as he struck eight boundaries and two sixes to guide his side towards victory. Two more wickets fell in the process, but Mushfiqur held firm and finished not out on 84 off just 63 deliveries to see Biman chase down the target with 8 balls to spare and three wickets in hand.
Biman and Kalabagan were tied on 16 points before the start of the Super League, so it was sweet revenge for the Biman winning against Kalabagan and replacing them at number three.
Shakib Al Hasan turned in an all-round performance to help defending champions Abahani to an easy 7-wicket win over Victoria at BKSP. Shakib Al Hasan took four wickets conceding just 11 runs in his six overs to bundle out Victoria fora paltry 108 in 25.4 overs. Victoria all-rounder Abul Bashar's 23 was the highest score of the innings. Abahani easily chased down this small target in 20.5 overs losing 3 wickets, all those three falling to Abul Bashar. Imrul Kayes scored 42 while Shakib remained not out on 34 to earn him the man-of-the-match award.
Abahani's perennial rivals and current leaders Mohammedan too had an easy outing against Cricket
Coaching School (CCS) as they won by six wickets in the 34-over-a-side match at Fatullah. Batting first, CCS posted 142 before getting all out in the last ball of the innings. Mohammedan's Pakistani allrounder Navedul Hasan proved the wrecker-in-chief with a 4-for giving away 35 runs. Nizamuddin's40wasthe highest for CCS. Nizamuddin did his best with the ball as he took two wickets, but Mohammedan had much more quality to deal with as they chased down the target with four overs to spare and six wickets in hand. Former opening batsman of the national team Nafees Iqbal scored an unbeaten half-century while Mohammad Ashrafpl scored 46 to turn it into an easy chase.
