da 888casino： Jahangir Hossain27-Sep-2001The National Squad going to take on the Zimbabweans on November this year,are given a jolt by their juniors in a one sided practice match held in BUETground today. The Bangladesh-A defeated their opponents by a fair margin of88 runs in this 50-over match.Winning the toss the A-squad elected to bat first against their imposingrivals. Rafiqul Islam, the opener put on 47 runs in the first wicket standwith Mehrab at the other end. Tall fast medium Monir dispatched Mehrab (18)when he offered a catch to Akram Khan.Tushar Imran, the guy came back after a month-long training session taken inAustralia, joined Rafiqul to take the score to 98 before he got an edge towicket keeper Anwar Hossain off Shabbir Khan. Tushar played as many balls tonotch up his 21. When the board was displaying 122, Rafiqul was tempted byoffie Shabbir to play down the wicket, which he missed and was stumped byAnwar. His swashbuckling 62 included 5 spectacular boundaries.The fall of the next wicket brought a dismaying note among the crowd becausethey saw Ashraful, the hero in Colombo returning with a duck offeringShabbir Khan his third wicket. A handy 36 from Khaled Mahmood off 42 ballsthat included a six and Hasanuzzaman managing 52 off 75, gave the glimpse ofa good total at the end.Bangladesh-A, who lost their previous match against the same side, piled up239 for 9 in their stipulated overs. Shabbir Khan, the lanky off-spinnercaptured 3 wickets giving away 26 runs in his economical spells. HasibulHussain and skipper Naimur Rahman grabbed two wickets each.Javed Omar Belim, the right-handed dependable opener for the national team,was dismissed for 10 off Khaled Mahmood when Sajjad caught him at point. Atthe other end Hannan Sarkar batted with patience, as he was rather choosy inhis selection of balls. He made 38 with a solitary boundary in it.The star batsmen were departing as quickly as they could. Al-Sahariar, whoproved good in the first match returned with 6 and Habibul Bashar, theMultan hero could only managed 11 before Bikash sent him on his stride. Aline of failures came from renowned batsmen, who played their cards toopoorly (Aminul Islam 18, Akram Khan 0 & Naimur Rahman 2) to bring off theresult. They all were victims of Mohammed Rafique.The ruled out left-arm off-spinner bowled brilliantly to get a haul of fivewickets in his bag for 34 runs to make the difference. Thanks for Kowshik,Alamgir, Mahmood and Ashraful they all bowled cautiously keeping moreattention on line and length and giving no rooms for the batsmen to go forshots.The side was wrapped up for 152 all out with 58 balls still at hand. Theincessant rain had revoked the four-day match between the sides a few daysago. Both sides were disappointed about not getting enough practice matchesbefore their tours.The Bangladesh-A team will head off for India on October 13, 2001 andBangladesh National will play against Zimbabwe in November this year as thehosts.
