Umar Amin hits ton to leave Bangladesh A at bay
Dhaka, 14 Aug - Umar Amin hit a big ton to help Pakistan Shaheens (Pakistan A) take a full control over visiting Bangladesh A at the end of day two of the first four-day game at Islamabad Club ground today.
Amin made a majestic 177 as Pakistan Shaheens reached 367-4 at stumps, taking
a huge 245-run lead.
Bangladesh A were bowled out for paltry 122 in 44.3 overs on a rain-hit day one earlier.
Saud Shakil scored 76 to add a misery on Bangladesh A further as their bowlers were left clueless in the assault of the home side batters. Mohammad Huraira added 39.
Saad Khan was batting on 31 with Kamran Ghulam on 20 when the bails were drawn.
Left-arm spinner Hasan Murad snapped up 2-49 for Bangladesh A while off-spinner Nayeem Hasan and pacer Tanzim Hasan took one wicket apiece.
