Khelaghar consign Brothers to sixth straight defeat
DHAKA, April 8, 2019 (BSS) – Fazle Mahmud’s superb 103 runs knock went in vain as Brothers Union suffered their sixth straight defeat after Khelaghar Samaj Kallayan Samity edged them past by 12 runs through D/L method in a Dhaka Premier League (DPL) game at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium at Fatullah today.
While the defeat put Brothers second to bottom table, Khelaghar’s third victory raised their hope of removing the relegation scare. Brother have won so far two matches that too in the first four matches after which they are in losing-streak.
Thanks to Fazle Mahmud’s century, Brothers put up 267-6 in 50 overs but rain came to extend their agony. By the time when rain intervened into the game, Khelaghar were 84-1 in 20 overs and as per D/L calculation they were 12-run ahead by then.
Opener Mizanur Rahman scored 49 and young sensation Yasir Ali struck an unbeaten 32 ball-47 to complement Fazle’s century.
Opener Robiul Islam Robi scored 39 not out to keep Khelaghar in the hunt while his fellow opener Shahriar Komol made 21. Mohidul Ankon was also not out on 21.
