Jamal climb to second, MSC up to fifth

Sports Reporter
Mohammedan Sporting Club took the second step in their early-season resurgence as they won their second consecutive match yesterday by defeating newly promoted Agrani Bank Cricket Club by a whopping 159 runs in Mirpur. The Old Dhaka outfit - who lost their first two matches - are in fifth place on the 12-team Dhaka Premier League table, one spot behind fellow newcomers Shinepukur Cricket Club, whose 88-run win over Khelaghar Samaj Kallyan Samity in BKSP placed them above Mohammedan by virtue of a better net run rate.
In Fatullah, Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club won their third match of the season with a five-wicket outclassing of Prime Bank Cricket Club and moved into the second spot behind leaders Abahani, who won all their four matches so far.
In Mirpur Mohammedan's total of335 for seven after being asked to bat did not have a big hundred but instead relied on telling contributions from the lower-middle order, with Irfan Sukkur's 83-ball 92 leading the way after Mohammedan were in a spot of bother at 121 for four. Bangladesh opener Soumya Sarkar, playing for Agrani Bank after having played the second T20I against Sri Lanka in Sylhet just the night before, had Rony Talukdar and Shamsur Rahman caughtbehind.
Irfan and Raqibul Hasan (77) put on a 112-run fifth-wicket stand, and after the latter's dismissal in the 41st over Irfan continued the good work with Bipul Sharma (41 off 29), adding 76 runs for the sixth wicket in just 7.3 overs. Irfan was then trapped in front by Agrani Bank skipper Abdur Razzak.
In chase, Soumya did what he did the previous night - get out for a duck - as he was bowled by pacer Subhasish Roy in the third ball of the first over. Enamul and Taijul Islam
combined to cut down Agrani Bank to 57 for four. From that point it was just about reducing the margin of defeat for Agrani, and they did not do that very well as they were bundled out for 176 in 37.4 overs. Subhasish, Enamul, Qazi Onik and Sharma took two wickets each.
Back in Fatullah, Prime Bank put in an under-par performance after skipper Mehedi Maruf chose to bat first. An incisive and economical performance from Sheikh Jamal's 18-year-old medium-pacer Robiul Haque, who had figures of three for 34 from nine overs, helped cut down Prime Bank to 137 for five. There were no half-centuries in the innings, and only a 35 from Sajjadul Haque and a 26 from Delwar Hossain got them to 227 before they were bundled out in the last ball of the innings. Sheikh Jamal's chase was powered by 50-plus stands for the first two wickets as opener Ziaur Rahman (67) put on 70 for the first wicket with Shykat Aliand65for the second wicket with Rakin Ahmed. Although Prime Bank managed to take three more wickets after Zia's dismissal, Jamal had too much time and runs in the bank, and Nurul Hasan and TanbirHaydertookthem home with 5.2 overs to spare
BKSP saw the day's sole century as, after being asked to bat, Shinepukur's Indian import Uday Kaul hit a sparkling run-a-ball 137. Kaul's innings formed the backbone of a strong 294 for seven, where national returnee Afif Hossain hit the second-highest score of 43. In reply, Khelaghar were bundled out for 206 in 45.4 overs. Opener Rafsan Al Mahmud was the only half-centurion in the innings. Shinepukur's left-arm spinner Raihan Uddin picked up three for 22. It was also a good day for Mohammad Saifuddin, picking up two for 44 from 10 overs, a welcome change from the hammerings he suffered in the Sri Lanka T2OIs.
