Bangladesh Cricket Board Cup – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 v Bangladesh Cricket Board Academy - Match Recap
In a dominating performance, Bangladesh easily overcame Bangladesh Cricket Board Academy by six wickets in a first-class match played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium Mirpur, on September 12, 2011.
An appalling display from the Academy side saw them post only 75 in 20.4 overs, with five batsmen failing to open their accounts.
In reply, the national side lost just four wickets on their way to the target, completing the victory with 31 overs to spare.
The match began with Bangladeshi’s team skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mushfiqur-Rahim-c2045, winning the toss and electing to field first.
His decision was top notch as the bowlers made full use of their experience to overpower their opponents with limited difficulty.
The batting team lost their first wicket on the score of 13 as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Anamul-Haque-c44160 plumb in front.
Just one run later, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mominul-Haque-c77642 for a duck.
This brought the team under pressure, which never really recovered as bowlers chipped in with regular wickets.
The third victim was the inning's second highest run getter, Maisuqur Rahman with 18, as Hossain cleaned through the defenses of the player and sent him packing back to the pavilion.
The inning's highest partnership came for the 5th wicket, as skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mahmudul-Hasan-c73899 and top scorer Tanveer Haider combined to make 26.
However, when spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdur-Razzak-c41688 broke the stand, it left the side 5 down, with only 56 on the board.
The worst was to follow as the last five could only muster 1 run in between them with Haider left stranded on 24.
The Bangladeshi bowlers all bagged wickets with the pick being Hossain with a four-wicket haul, followed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Suhrawadi-Shuvo-c91688 bagging 3.
In contrast, the national team’s progress towards the total was easy, with the openers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imrul-Kayes-c64265, sharing 41 in 9.5 overs.
Kayes was the first one to be dismissed off http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Athumani-Kakonzi-c46628, making 13 with the help of one boundary.
On the score of 54, Tamim was the next to perish; however, he had done most of the damage in his almost run-a-ball knock of 36, which included 5 crisp fours and a six out of the park.
They lost another two on the same score but a quick fire 22 by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alok-Kapali-c43787 ensured the team completed the total in 19 overs.
For the opponent’s bowlers, only two bowlers could make inroads with Babu being the pick, taking a brace.
The match has raised more questions than answers for the Cricket Broad as they look to find youngsters after the team’s abysmal performance on the tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045. For now, they will have to be content with the talent at their immediate disposal.
