A fine all round display saw Prime Bank Cricket Club cantered home by seven wickets against Gazi Group Cricketers in the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League match held on Sunday at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium at Fatullah.
Prime Bank Cricket Club managed to restrict Gazi Group Cricketers to 214 after 50 overs after asking their rivals to bat first.
Prime Bank captain Mehedi Maruf decided to field first, and Gazi Group were soon wobbling at 2-3 inside three overs. The third wicket partnership of 149 runs in 31 overs steadied ship for Gazi Group, but after Mominul Haque’s departure in the 34th over, it all went downhill and they were eventually bowled out for 214 in 50 overs.
Mominul’s 79 from 106 balls held the innings together with Jahurul Islam’s 66 who had to retire hurt.
For Prime Bank, Nazmul Islam captured 3-45 in 10 overs while Al-Amin Hossain and Taibur Rahman picked up two wickets each.
In reply Zakir Hossain 66, AR Easwaran with 52, Al Amin with unbeaten 41 and Tabibur Rahman with 33 helped Prime Bank CC to romp home scoring 218 for 3 in 46.5 overs.
