Dhaka register 2nd straight victory in NCL

Dhaka, 24 Nov - Dhaka Division completed an innings and 11-run victory over Rajshahi inside just two days for their second straight victory in the ongoing National Cricket League (NCL) at Shaheed Chandu Stadium in 
Bogura today.

Pacer Anamul Haque hastened the victory by claiming 5-54 as Rajshahi were bowled out for 128 in 30 overs in their second innings after resuming the day at 18-1.

The defeat of Rajshahi was on the card when they were bowled out for NCL lowest 42 runs in the first innings. Dhaka pacer Sumon Khan ripped through their batting line up with 7-18, including a hat-trick.

Sumon was unable to take any wicket in the second innings, finishing with 8-0-29-0 but that mattered little.

Anamul stood tall with five-for and was complemented by Ripon Mondol's 2-30 
to scythe down Rajshahi with ease again.

Tanzid Hasan Tamim was the top-scorer for Rajshahi in the second innings with 
38 while SM Mehrob Hossain made 26.

Earlier, after bowling out Rajshahi for just 42, Dhaka put up 181 in their 
only innings before being all out on Day 1 when a record 21 wickets fell to 
determine the fate of the game.
 
It was, however, Rajshahi's fourth defeat in six matches. They won just one 
and drew one.

Dhaka won two and lost four in six matches but moved to second spot in the 
point table behind Sylhet Division for the time being.
