Earlier in the day, Abahani’s batting lineup struggled despite a few notable performances. The team suffered an early setback when opener Shahriar Kamal was dismissed without scoring. Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and Parvez Hossain Emon attempted to rebuild, but Shanto fell for 20 off 51 balls.
Making his debut for Abahani, Parvez managed to notch a half-century, scoring 50 off 74 balls before his dismissal. However, the middle order faltered, with Mohammad Mithun (7) and Mominul Haque (27 off 40) failing to capitalize.
It was Mosaddek Hossain who rescued Abahani from further collapse, anchoring the innings with a crucial knock. His 73-run innings off 65 balls, featuring three sixes and five boundaries, propelled Abahani to a total of 234.
