3-day practice game ends in a draw
Dhaka, 31 July - The three-day practice game between BCB Red and BCB Green ended in a tame draw today at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.
Resuming the day at 92-6, BCB Red declared their first innings on 166-9 and thereby conceded a 124-run lead.
Pritom Kumar was the top-scorer with 44 while Nayeem Hasan made 40.
Hasan Mahmud snapped up 3-28 while Mahedi Hasan and Rishad Hossain took two
wickets apiece for Green.
In its desperate bid to earn a result, the BCB Green also declared their innings on 97-3, setting 222-run target for Red. Naim Sheikh scored 39 while Jaker Ali added 34 not out.
But thereafter the game was interrupted by rain when BCB Red were two for one
after one over. The rain eventually brought a premature end to the game.
