Bangladesh national team player Mahmudullah’s century and three-wicket haul helped his side Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club win by 11 runs against Brothers Union in their Dhaka Premier League at BKSP on Thursday. In another match at Fatullah, former national player Rajin Saleh’s ton went in vain as his side Cricket Coaching School lost to Legends of Rupganj by six wickets.
Kalabagan Krira Chakra meanwhile snatched a narrow eight-run victory over Victoria Sporting Club in a low scoring thriller at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.
Sk Jamal v BU
Jamal skipper Mahmudullah scored 107 runs off 114 balls with five fours and three sixes and made a 119-run third wicket stand with Marshall Ayub (57) leading his side to 252-8 in 50 overs.
In reply, Brothers’ Imrul Kayes (70) and Tushar Imran (55) scored half centuries but Mahmudullah’s 3-29 off 10 overs made a huge impact to restrict them for 241-8 in 50 overs.
Brothers seemed to be cruising as Imrul and Tushar added exactly 100 runs in the second wicket partnership after a 44-run opening stand between Imrul and Shahriar Nafees (20).
Sohag Gazi got the breakthrough by dismissing Tushar in the 30th over but Mahmudullah and paceman Shafiul Islam, who ended with 3-40, played the major role to choke Brothers’ progress with disciplined bowling.
That ensured fifth win in the league for Jamal, who are on fourth place now with 10 points from eight matches, and the defeat pushed Brothers to ninth position with eight points from same number of outings.
CCS v Rupganj
In Fatullah, 32-year old Rajin remained unbeaten 106 not out to help his side score 242-7 before Rupganj reached 243-4 with 10 balls to spare.

He made a 99-run third wicket partnership with Amit Majumder, who scored 56.
Mosharraf Hossain bagged 3-32 and Taijul Islam got 2-33 for Rupganj.
In reply, Mohammad Mithun’s 114-ball innings of 90 consisting four fours and two sixes made the chase easy for Rupganj.
He got great support from Asif Ahmed as the duo added 127 runs in the fourth wicket partnership to take control in the game.
Mithun missed his century as he was adjudged leg before of Saif Hassan, who picked up 3-38, but Asif remained not out on 72 off 75 to coast their side home.
With the win Rupganj are now in the third position in the points table with 11 points and CCS remained on 11th with just two points.
Kalabagan v Victoria
At SNBS, in form batman Al-Amin made 67 runs while number nine batsman Jubair Ahmed made a valiant effort to remain unbeaten on 35, but Victoria still fell short as they were bundled out for 205 replaying to Kalabagan’s 213.
Victoria lost wickets in regular intervals and at a stage they were reduced to 150-8 before Jubair’s rearguard action took them close.
Sharifullah got 3-33 for Kalabagan and their inspirational skipper Mashrafee bin Murtaza, who bowled with a short run-up, got 2-24 off 10 overs and took a spectacular catch off his own bowling.
