Academy four wickets away from defeat

The GP-BCB National Cricket Academy are lurching towards a massive innings defeat after yet another poor batting performance yesterday, the penultimate day of their four-day game against South Africa Cricket Academy at the Fatullah Cricket Stadium.
They require another 164 runs to make the visitors bat again but just have four wickets in hand. At the end of the third day's play, the Academy side were 200 for six in their second innings after following on to the South African selection's 581 all out. Earlier in the day, the hosts made 218 in their first innings.
Rony Talukdar and Shuvogoto Hom missed half-centuries in the second dig as they withstood another barrage from the visitors. Hardus Viljoen took three wickets while off-spinner Dane Piedt picked up both openers.
In the first innings, Mominul Haque Sourav and Mahmudul Hasan added 120 runs for the sixth wicket, both batsmen completing half-centuries in the process. But the face-saving stand did little to help statistically as they fell 364 runs adrift of the visitors' first innings score.
Viljoen and Dane Paterson shared the ten wickets to fall equally, the two opening bowlers running through the Academy batting line-up quite easily.
Alauddin Babu and Myshukur Rahman are unbeaten in their twenties as they will begin the fourth and final day with a mountain to climb.
