Left-arm spinner Hasan Murad claimed a career-best 6-74 in an innings of the first class cricket as Walton Central Zone made a superb start to the Bangabandhu Bangladesh Cricket League (BCL) with an innings and 70-run win over BCB North Zone at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on Wednesday. Central Zone’s victory looked all but sure when they reduced North Zone to 172-5 on day three, leaving them needing 172 runs more to avoid the innings defeat. North Zone’s only consolation could be to force Central Zone to bat second time, which also may help to salvage the game but they simply were unable to do that, largely due to the wily spin of Hasan Murad.
