Khelaghar, Kalabagan notch wins

Nigar Sultana and Mukta Magri stitched together an unbeaten 82-run partnership to help Khelaghar Shamaj Kalyan Shamity reach a seven-wicket victory over Rupali Bank Krira Parishad in a Premier Division Women’s Cricket League encounter at BKSP-3 in Savar yesterday.

Batting first, Rupali Bank posted 203 for nine with opener Shuktara Rahman top scoring for the side with a 54-ball 41.

In chase of the mediocre total, Khelaghar opener Rubaiya Hayat stuck a fine 50 before Joty and Mukta remained unbeaten on 49 and 43 respectively to see the side through.

In the day’s other game, Abahani Limited registered a comfortable eight-wicket victory over over Kalabagan Krira Chakra at BKSP-4, courtesy of a three-wicket haul from Jerin Tasnim.

Despite an unbeaten 51 from Sabekunnahar Chaity, Kalabagan could only manage 106 in 43.4 overs with Jerin picking up three wickets for 20 runs. It took Abahani just 18 overs to chase down the paltry total and seal victory.
