Anamul Haque’s first List-A century in 16 months helped Gazi Group Cricketers crush Cricket Coaching School by six wickets in a battle between two newly-promoted sides in the Dhaka Premier League.

 

Chasing 177, Gazi Group rode on Anamul’s ton to reach the target in 33.4 overs in Mirpur. It was the third consecutive defeat for CCS while Gazi Group picked up their second win in three games.

 

Anamul struck four fours and seven sixes in his 85-ball 100. He added 139 for the third wicket with Farhad Hossain, who chipped in with 45 off 75 balls. Mohammad Saifuddin took 3 for 26 in 7.4 overs.

 

Earlier, CCS were bowled out for 176 in 47 overs after being asked to bat. Salman Hossain and Uttam Sarkar made fifties, but only two other batsmen – opener Amit Majumder and No 10. Nasum Ahmed – reached double figures. Right-arm medium pacer Mohammad Sharif and offspinner Mahedi Hasan took two wickets each.

 

Victoria Sporting Club picked up their second win in the Dhaka Premier League after beating Kalabagan Cricket Academy by five wickets at the BKSP-3 ground. KCA slumped to their third successive loss.

 

Batting first, KCA posted 263 for 6 with Irfan Sukkur hitting seven fours in his 116-ball 88, while Mehedi Hasan Miraz contributed with 51 off 44 balls.

 

VSC reached the target with eleven balls to spare, thanks to fifties from Abdul Mazid and Al-Amin before captain Nadif Chowdhury steered his side to the target with an unbeaten 29. Abu Jayed took three wickets.

 

The game between Legends of Rupganj and Mohammedan Sporting Club was pushed to the reserve day due to a wet outfield.
