BD A draw 3-dayer

Bangladesh A drew the three-day warm-up match with Maharashtra Cricket Association U-22 side at Nasik in Maharashtra yesterday.
Chasing a victory target of 248 on the last day, the tourists managed 207 for the loss of eight wickets when time was called for the match. Imran Ahmed was the mainstay of the batting for the visitors in their second attempt as he remained unbeaten on 41 playing 127 balls and was ably supported by Dollar Mahmud, who contributed an unbeaten 32. Imrul Kayes (40) and Hannan Sarker (31) gave the visitors a rollicking start in the second knock but a middle-order collapse put paid to their efforts of overhauling the target.
Earlier, the hosts had declared their second innings on 179 for 9 to set up an enthralling final few hours of the game. Kaustaubh Patel was the top-scorer for MCA U-22 in their second innings with 44 runs. Talha Jubair bagged three wickets while Ziaur Rahman and Suhrawardi Shuvo chipped in with two wickets each. Kishor Bhikane of the MCA U-22 was adjudged man-of-the-match for his five-for in the first innings.
