Gazi triumph like champions

Sports Reporter
Gazi Tank Cricketers etched their names in the highest WALTON echelons of the country's ZZZ^^if'!n cricket when they handed CtufaPKnefOMMOktatlNTN^ /
Prime Doleshwar a 60-run defeat in a 'virtual final' of the Dhaka Premier League at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur yesterday to become the new champions of the lone and most coveted 50-over competition in domesticcircuit.
Gazi Tank played like the favourites and dominated their opponents under the impressive leadership of Mahmudullah Riyad to write their name alongside Abahani, Mohammedan, Biman, Brothers, Victoria and Old DOHS as the seventh champion in the tournament's 37th edition.
England batsman Eoin Morgan lived up to his reputation by playing the most important knock and grabbing the man-of-
the match award, but it was, in no manners a one-man show for the new champions.
If a fine opening stand between Imrul Kayes and Riazul Islam set the tone, then a well-composed half century from Riyad and a whirlwind finish from Dutchman Ryan ten Doeschate made sure Morgan's 84-run innings would not go in vain.
When Gazi Tank accumulated 118 runs from last ten overs the fate was all but written on the
wall for Doleshwar, and Rubel Hossain's fiery first spell put the final nail on their coffin.
Mominul Haque's outstanding batting display and skipper Forhad Reza's dashing knock caused some concern for a while for Gazi, but they never let their hold on the game go loose. The target of 296 in the end appeared too stiff for Prime Doleshwar.
However, the small but enthusiastic crowd at the SBNGS must thank Mominul and Forhad for brining some excitement back in the match after Doleshwar were reduced to 95 for six. It might have been a closer affair had Mominul got some support from any of the top order batsmen or if the left-hander didn't get bowled out at a very crucial stage of the match when he, along with his skipper, had made the target look achievable.
The game was still alive with Shohag Gazi providing able support to his skipper, but spinner Ashar Zaidi, who did the final job after Rubel's first two wickets and Nayeem Islam's
three wickets in the middle, got rid of Shohag to ensure a comfortable victory for his side.
Riyad too had his share with the leather as he bowled Mominul out to bring relief at the Gazi tent.
Gone are the days when players needed strong nerves to keep their cool in front of rabid supporters, but an electric atmosphere at SBNCS yesterday was more than enough to test the nerves of Gazi captain Riyad. The Gazi skipper however had the last laugh and his boys confirmed that their band can continue blowing the trumpet of victory.
