Legends back on track

Sports Reporter
The controversy surrounding Legends of Rupganj owner Lutfur Rahman Badal did not seem to affect his team on the field yesterday as the Shakib Al Hasan-led side edged Mushfiqur Rahim's Prime Doleshwar Sporting Club by 28 runs at Fatullah.
The match was a must-win encounter for the Legends, who are yet to confirm their place in the Super Six. Managing the only win in the last five matches yesterday, it has taken them to fifth place.
Batting first in a match curtailed to 31 overs per side due to the morning fog, Legends were bowled out for 211. Playing his first match of the DPL, opener Tamim Iqbal scored a 48-ball 45, hitting two sixes and three fours. He shared a half-century stand with Ashar Zaidi, who scored an equally impressive 41 -ball 47.
Towards the end, Nazmul Milon and Shakib chipped in with a series of boundaries. Shakib hit five fours in his 18-ball 30 while Nazmul struck four sixes in his 12-ball 35.
Shakib starred with the ball as well, finishing with figures of 4 for 27, to help bowl Doleshwar out for 183 in 30 overs. Shakib took the crucial wicket of Mushfiqur, who had smacked a 22-ball 32 and was looking dangerous. Pacer Mohammad Shahid, who has been included in the 30-member preliminary squad for the World Cup, chipped in with three wickets.
Mashrafe Bin Mortaza-led Mohammedan Sporting Club also earned valuable points on the day as his side romped to a seven-wicket win over Partex Sporting Club at BKSP. Batting first, Partex were restricted to 175 for 8 in 36 overs. Pacers Alauddin Babu and Mashrafe shared seven wickets between them. Veteran batsman Rajin Saleh top-scored for Partex with 82. In reply, MSC reached their target in 33 overs, courtesy of half-centuries from their openers Ezaz Ahmed and Tanvir Haider. MSC now have 12 points and are placed sixth.
Old DOHS Sporting Club suffered their tenth consecutive defeat of the competition at Mirpur yesterday, being beaten by Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club by six wickets. A stroke-filled 83 from Myshukur Rahman helped Sheikh Jamal overcome DOHS's target of 156 in 42.2 overs.
