Mazid, Sunny star for Doleshwar

Rupganj's team effort edges out Khelaghar

While a high-scoring thriller was taking place at the BKSP-4 ground, Abdul Mazid made a mark at another BKSP venue as his scintillating hundred helped Prime Doleshwar Sporting Club outclass the winless Victoria Sporting Club by 119 runs.  Left-arm spinner Arafat Sunny also deserved credit for his career-best bowling figures in a massive win for Doleshwar that increased their chances of playing the Super League.

Opting to bat first, Prime Doleshwar posted 339 for six in 50 overs thanks to Mazid, who scored 116 off 114 balls with the help of seven fours and five sixes.

Sri Lankan Chaturanga de Silva however punished the Victoria bowlers most during his 25-ball 64 that featured six fours and four sixes.

In reply, Victoria were bowled out for 220 in 45.5 overs. Having lost their first four wickets for 39 runs, Victoria were never in contention. The wrecker-in-chief was Sunny, who took six wickets for 56 runs.

At the Fatullah Cricket Stadium, Legends of Rupganj also took a step towards a Super League spot with their fifth win in eight matches. Rupganj beat Khelaghar Samaj Kallayan Samiti by 28 runs.

Rupganj were all out for 239 in 49.5 overs, with Yasir Ali top-scoring with 59.

In reply, Khelaghar were bowled out for 211 in 48.1 overs.
