Khulna Division 301/242 v Sylhet Division 251 – Khulna lead by 292 runs for the loss of eight wickets
On Tuesday, December 20, 2011 Khulna Division bolstered 242 runs for the loss of eight wickets at stumps in their second innings against Sylhet Division at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zahur-Ahmed-c98518 Chowdhury Stadium, Chittagong.
With this tally, Khulna have taken a lead of 292 runs on their rivals and look well-set to take the match on the final day of the game.
Earlier, Sylhet resumed their batting after ending the second day by posting 244 runs for the loss of eight wickets.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nabil-Samad-Chowdhury-c78374 came out from their side in a bid to add a few more runs to their overnight tallies in order to take their side to a respectable total by the end of their first innings.
Nonetheless, their plan failed as they could only post 251 runs at the end of their innings when they lost Mabud, who failed to add a run to his overnight tally of 56.
From Khulna, bowlers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dolar-Mahmud-c54291 and Al-Amin Hossain grabbed three wickets each, as they incinerated Sylhet’s batting line-up.
Coming out to bat, Khulna had a wide open window of opportunity right in front of them to take a massive lead in the game by hammering their opponents.
With just 33 runs on the board, they lost their first wicket when opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Amit-Majumder-c44029 was dismissed by Abu Jayed on six runs.
Khulna batsmen were given a rude welcome by the Sylhet bowlers as they were not allowed to score freely and had lost four wickets with just 87 runs on the board.
This was certainly not what the batting side had hoped for and needed a few big knocks from the batsmen before allowing the opposition to bat again.
However, preventing a battling meltdown, wicketkeeper/batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Mithun-Ali-c77089, gave a resilient performance by smacking a stupendous knock of 80 runs to help his side amass a respectable tally against a belligerent bowling attack.
With Ali still on the crease, Khulna would want to bat for a few more hours on the final day to improve their lead and then rattle Sylhet by preventing them from reaching the required target.
