block
BSS, Dhaka :
Sharifullah’s all-round show- a 73-ball 82 coupled with a three-for – enabled Prime Doleshwar Sporting Club to earn a 29-run victory over Legends of Rupganj in te Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League (PCL) held on Thursday last at BKSP ground no 4 in Savar.
Put in to bat, Sharifullah anchored Doleshwars’ innings with four crucial partnerships. Among those, his 49-run fourth-wicket stand with Marshall Ayub took Doleshwar close to 150 in 34 overs, before the latter fell for a 76-ball 60. Sharifullah then added 61 runs for the fifth wicket with Jaker Ali (30) and another 33 for the sixth wicket with Chathuranga de Silva before being undone by Raza Ali Dar in the 49th over, source cricinfo.com.
Even though left-arm spinner Mosharraf Hossain took five wickets, aided by Mohammad Sharif and Dar, who scalped two wickets each, Sharifullah’s knock had laid the base for Dolweshwar to post a total of 276.
In reply, Rupganj started strongly, with the openers Hasanuzzaman (50) and Pinak Ghosh (19) adding 61 for the first wicket. Naeem Islam batted at a good pace and shaped the innings with an 82-run fifth-wicket stand with Yasir Ali but some tight bowling in the last 10 overs stemmed Rupganj’s run-flow as they were finally shut down for 247 for 6 in 50 overs.
