Raihan, Maidul down Ideal
Edward School registered a whopping 95-run victory over Premier Ideal School courtesy of a 99-run third-wicket stand between Raihan and Maidul in a Prime Bank Young Tigers National School Cricket tournament match at the Gymnasium Ground in Mymensingh yesterday.
Electing to bat first, Edward got a good start as openers Rubaet and Arman strung together a 53-run partnership before the latter was dismissed on a patiently built innings of 14 runs off 40 deliveries. Rubaet followed soon after for 32 and the next batsmen in -- Raihan and Maidul – made sure that their side posted a decent 250 for eight in 47 overs on the back of a solid partnership. Raihan hit 44 off 73 balls while Maidul scored a 56-ball 52 that featured eight fours and a six.
In chase of the challenging total, Ideal School suffered a batting collapse in the middle and lower orders, losing their last seven wickets for just 38 runs. Sabbir Ahmed top-scored for Ideal School with a 55-ball 40 while Edward School's Swajib was the pick of their bowlers, scalping four wickets for 24 runs.
