Rupganj win over Brothers in premier cricket

Opener Abul Mazid fell six-run short of century but Legends of Rupganj registered an overwhelming seven-wicket victory over Brothers Union Club in the tenth round match of Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League on Friday, reports BSS.

Mazid hit five boundaries and seven over-boundaries during his 110-ball knock as Rupganj chased down the target making 183 for the loss of three wickets with 75 balls to spare.

Mazid also involved 71-run second with stand with Mohammad Niam (32) and again paired another 69-run for the third wicket stand with his skipper Naeem Islam (36) to steer Rupganj to a facile victory.

Shakhawat Hossain and Sohrawordi Shuvo took one Rupganj's wicket each.

Earlier, invited to bat first by Rupganj, Brothers Union Club despite a good 77-run opening stand by Mizanur Rahman and Junaid Siddique, suffered serious batting jolt and eventually were dismissed at a paltry total of 178 in 48.1 overs at BKSP ground in Savar. Asif Hasan of Rupganj was named the player of the match for his bowling display.
