The home team won the toss and chose to field first, with the ruthless Yasin Arafat (23.4-11-25-5) leading the attack, while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Salman-c88163 Hossain (98) was eventually snuffed out by Arafat 2 runs short of a century, while Mohammad Sajib (49*) was the only one who managed to get away.
A total of five batsmen were dismissed on duck, and three of these – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Monir-Hossain-c77657, and Towhidul Islam – comprised the tail, which Arafat nipped out with a hat-trick in the 105th over. Barisal eventually succumbed, all out, at a first innings total of 204.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammed-Nazimuddin-c77528 (72) enabled Chittagong to post a first innings total of 296, which Barisal found hard to beat.
Noor Hossain (14-4-29-5) and Yasin Arafat (25-5-62-3) teamed up to keep Barisal down to a low score, in order to secure their side a low total to chase. Top-order batsmen Reazur Rahman (27), http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasiruddin-Faruque-c78773 (24), and Fazle Mahmud (50) were the only ones who put up a fight – the rest of the batting order failed to pass the 20-run mark, and within 71 overs, the team was all out at 163, setting Chittagong an easy 72-run target to chase.
Nasiruddin Faruque’s (8-0-24-2) attempts to defend his team’s total were valiant, but desperate. While he managed to dismiss openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yasir-Ali-c98240 (11*) and Nazimuddin (13*) proceeded to lead their team to an easy victory, with 8 wickets remaining.
