Dhaka enter NCL final
Dhaka moved into the Ispahani Mirzapore National Cricket League final with a comprehensive eight-wicket win over Rajshahi at the Fatullah Cricket Stadium yesterday.
On the third day, the defending champions needing just 36 runs to secure victory, took 6.1 overs to reach their target. Opener Anwar Hossain and Jahangir Alam were unbeaten on 10 and 17 respectively.
Dhaka joined Chittagong atop the table with each having 14 points on completion of the first round. Both teams will play in the January 18 final. In the other match, Rajshahi were inching towards their first win in the first-class competition at the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium after taking full command over Khulna.
At stumps, Khulna had to still open their account after facing just one ball. They face an impossible target of 388 runs to win.
Rajshahi, who had scored 311 in the first innings, added another 273 in their second innings yesterday while Khulna made only 197 in their first essay.
