Friday, 11 April 2025



Gazi Group Cricketers confirmed the Super Six phase of Dhaka Premier League (DPL) after their comprehensive 170-run victory over Partex Sporting Club at BKSP-3 ground in Savar on Thursday, reports BSS.
They became the third team to reach Super Six, after defending champions Abahani Limited and Mohammedan Sporting Club.
Put into bat first, Gazi Group racked up a mammoth 302-7 and defended it comfortably for a big victory by holding Partex back to 132-9 in 31.5 overs. Mohor Sheikh, the last batter of Partex, was unable to bat due to injury.
Gazi's Captain Anamul Haque Bijoy led the victory charge with 78 off 90, an innings laced with nine fours.
After the departure of opener Munim Shahriar for just 4, Bijoy put the side in commanding position by sharing 104 runs with Sadikur Rahman who made 46.
Tanvir Hossain dismissed Bijoy as the fourth batter and raised the prospect of controlling the game. But Sabbir Hossen Shikdar made an unbeaten 64 and Shamim Mea hit 53 to help the side propel past the 300-run mark.
The total proved to be too hot to handle for Partex who also dug their own graveyards by losing wickets at regular intervals.
Amid the wickets tumbling around him, opener Mohammad Adil remained unfazed to make an unbeaten 53.
