Razzak, Hom day's stars
Kalabagan Krira Chakra captain Abdur Razzak took four wickets and led his side to their second win in the Dhaka Premier League at the BKSP yesterday as they thumped Old DOHS by 90 runs.
In the day's other games, Prime Bank Cricket Club beat Mohammedan Sporting by four wickets, courtesy of a fine all-round performance from Shuvagata Hom at Fatullah, while a half-century from Liton Kumar led Abahani to a six-wicket win over Partex Sporting Club at the BKSP.
A cautious 50 from Jehan Mubarak and a late cameo from Razzak helped Kalabagan post 220 for 8 in their 50 overs. While Mubarak's 50 came off 89 balls, Razzak hammered a 17-ball 34 -- the innings witnessed two sixes and three fours. With the ball, the veteran slow left-armer finished with figures of 4 for 17 in 7.3 overs to help his side bowl Old DOHS out for just 130 in 37.3 overs. This was Old DOHS's fifth consecutive defeat.
At Fatullah, Prime Bank's slow bowlers restricted Mohammedan to 185 for 8 in 50 overs, after the latter decided to bat, with Naeem Islam's unbeaten 56 being the only respite. In reply, Shuvagata's 47 led Prime Bank to their target with 6.3 overs remaining. Earlier, Shuvagata played a vital role with the ball as well, recording figures of 3 for 39.
Liton's 64 off 49 balls and an unbeaten 44 from Rakibul Hasan helped Abahani chase down their target of 171 easily with 16.5 overs to spare against Partex.
