Wednesday, 5 November 2008
Riding on a Nadif Chowdhury ton, hosts Dhaka Division Tuesday took command in the 4th round of the four-day match of the Ispahani Mirzapore Tea 10th National Cricket League against Khulna Division.
Now they need only three wickets on the 4th day today (Wednesday) to earn victory, reports UNB.
Chasing a massive target of 408 runs, Khulna Division still trails by 285 runs with three wickets in hand as they were 123 for 7 in 48 overs in their 2nd innings when the bells were drawn for the 3rd day at the Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium (SBNS) in the city Tuesday.
Skipper Tushar Imran was batting on 23 while tail-ender Ziaur Rahman was the other not out batsman with 6.
Apart from opener Nazmus Sadat's 50 off 65 balls with six fours and a six, the other Khulna batsmen -- Mostafizur Rahman 2, Ashraful Aziz 20, Sahagir Hossain 15, Raihan Anas 0, Farid Uddin 1 -could not prolong their innings.
Spinner Mahmudullah Riyad claimed three wickets for 36 runs in 16 overs while Arafat Sunny took two wickets for 26 runs.
Earlier, resuming with overnight 130 for 3 in 47 overs, Dhaka Division declared their 2nd innings at 266 for 7 in 87 overs with Nadif hammering not out 101 off 129 balls that featured 11 fours and three sixes.
After the departure of overnight batsmen Riyad 37 and Marshal Ayub 10, number six Nadif single-handedly dominated the Khulna Division attack to set a big target for the visitors.
