On Monday, December 19, 2011 after ending the first day by posting 296 runs for the loss of eight wickets in their first innings, Khulna resumed their batting in a bid to add a few more runs to their overnight tally in order to put pressure on the opposition.
However, Sylhet bowlers were up to speed and dismissed Khulna’s star batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Mithun-Ali-c77089, who lost his wicket after smashing a resilient innings of 109 runs.
Later, Khulna declared their innings after posting 301 runs on the board with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Murad-Khan-c77104 not-out on one, and Al-Amin Hossain on nil.
With an impressive total ahead, Sylhet needed to bat with zeal and patience in order to steer the match according to their own terms.
However, they were up against a belligerent bowling attack, which was not ready to let them chase the total without a tough fight.
Khulna made early inroads when they dismissed Sylhet opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dolar-Mahmud-c54291.
Mahmud struck again, when he dismissed number-three batsman, Shaker Ahmed, on a duck.
With two wickets down for only one run on the board, this was a disastrous batting show by Sylhet.
However, the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajin-Saleh-c2264 halted the bowling offensive as he crafted an effective resistance alongside opener Sayem Alam. The duo smashed 61 runs in the third-wicket partnership.
With 62 runs on the board, Alam was removed on the penultimate delivery of the 20th over after playing a knock of 27 runs.
Later, Saleh (59), http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Golam-Mabud-Chowdhury-c60273 (56 not-out) played an important role in helping their side hammer 244 runs, with eight wickets down at stumps
