Rajshahi, Barishal look for clear lead
Khulna Division will surely enjoy the services of form batsman Soumya Sarkar in their four-day match against Barishal Division at the Sheikh Kamruzzaman Stadium in Barishal when the fifth round of the National Cricket League gets underway across the country today.
The fourth round ended with all matches across the two tiers producing results. Rajshahi Division bested defending champions Khulna and moved to the top of Tier 1. They will face Rangpur Division in the fifth round at the Cricket Garden Stadium in Rangpur. Rangpur lost their fourth-round match to Barishal, who are equal on points with Rajshahi but took second spot as they have accrued fewer bonus points.
Tier-2 is evenly poised as all four teams have each won one match, lost one and drawn two. Chattogram Division, who beat Dhaka Division in the last round, will take on Sylhet Division at the Sheikh Kamal International Stadium in Cox's Bazar. Tier-2 leaders Dhaka Metropolis, who lost their last match to Sylhet, will take on Dhaka at the Shaheed Chandu Stadium in Bogra.
