Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club kept up the hopes alive to move into the Super League phase of Dhaka Premier League following their five-wicket victory over BKSP in a low-scoring match at BKSP-4 ground on Sunday.
Spinners duo Nasir Hossain and Elias Sunny claimed three wickets apiece as Sheikh Jamal bundled BKSP out for 161 in 42.1 overs after which their batsmen comfortably gunned down the total with 165-5 in 35.2 overs albeit a little hiccup.
Anustup Mojumdar, the Indian recruit of Sheikh Jamal was the highest scorer for the side with 43 while Elias Sunny also showed his prowess with batting, hitting 32.
Mojumdar and Sunny shared 44-run for the third wicket stand to steady the innings after Jamal was reduced to 43-2. Sunny struck five fours and one six in his run-a-ball-32. Mojumdar however batted cautiously to keep one side intact.
