Liton Das and the experienced Naeem Islam scored centuries for Rangpur against Dhaka in their high-scoring match at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong Saturday while Al Amin Hossain and experienced campaigner Abdur Razzak got four-fors for Khulna against Rajshahi. Khulna’s wicketkeeper-batsman Nurul Hasan made a valiant 97 to help his side gain an important lead in the first innings before Razzak and Al-Amin bowled brilliantly to wrap Rajshahi’s second innings for just 170 to give their batsmen a target of 123. Though the batsman missed his ton, he helped give his side a crucial lead of 48 runs. National team pacer Mustafizur Rahman dislodged Rajshahi opener Mizanur Rahman for a duck in the very first over in their second inning before Razzak and Al-Amin, who ended with 4/62 and 4/17 accordingly, wrecked havoc in the opponents’ batting line. 21ST NCL, ROUND 2, DAY 3Tier 1RAJSHAHI 261 & 170 in 60 overs (Shanto 57, Al Amin 4/17) trail KHULNA 309 in 108.3 overs (Nurul 97*, Imrul 93) & 15/1 in three overs (Imrul 11*, Shafiul 1/11) by 108 runs
