Dhaka Metropolis 201 v Rajshahi Division 355
On Monday, December 19, 2011 http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747’s domestic side, Rajshahi Division hammered 355 runs for the loss of two wickets in their first innings on the second day of the four-day match against Dhaka Metropolis at Sylhet Stadium.
Earlier on Sunday, after choosing to field first, Rajshahi bowlers gave a decent show against Dhaka Metropolis as they restricting their opponents on a tally of 201 runs.
Dhaka, which has formidable batsmen in the squad, failed to subdue their opponents as none of the batsmen exhibited wits to play a long and daunting innings against the bowling attack they were up against.
From Dhaka, middle-order batsmen http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Shamsur-Rahman-c77337 were the only players from their team to give Rajshahi a tough fight as the batsmen smashed 45 and 53 runs. Their knocks played an important role in helping Dhaka amass 201 runs at the end of their first innings.
Rajshahi bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saqlain-Sajib-c88745 bagged five wickets as the duo created exceptional problems for the Dhaka batsmen.
With a small total to overcome, Rajshahi came out to bat in a bid to post a mammoth tally in their first innings.
However, with only seven runs on the board, they lost their first wicket when opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Farhad-Reza-c56788 (6) was trapped right in front of stumps, off the bowling of Taskin Ahmed.
Nonetheless, the demise of the opener did not unnerve the batting side as Jahurul Islam and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Junaid-Siddique-c1749 disintegrated Dhaka’s bowling offensive and prevented the fielding side from grabbing another wicket.
The duo hammered a massive tally of 345 runs in the second-wicket-partnership as they crafted some of the finest strokes in modern-day cricket.
While, the Rajshahi camp was enjoying watching their batsmen hammer the opposition, the frustration was running wild in the Dhaka camp as they needed to break the partnership in order to prevent their opposition from grabbing an emphatic lead in the match.
Less than half an hour of play was left, when Siddique, lost his concentration and was caught and bowled by Arafat Sunny after playing a stupendous innings of 161 runs.
At stumps, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hamidul-Islam-c76902, is yet to open is account on the third day of play.
