It seems as though Soumya Sakar is on fire with the ball. The left-handed elegant batsman was given the ball by his captain Abdur Razzak and he didn’t disappoint. Despite getting hit for a six by Shykat Ali with his very first ball of his second over, he took his scalp in the next ball itself to complete a perfect revenge. 

Winning the toss and fielding first, Agrani Bank took the wicket of Pinak Ghosh in the very first ball of the game. Shykat Ali, meanwhile, came in and batted aggressively. On the other end, Hasanuzzaman got out for 8 runs with the score at 36-2.

That didn’t stop Shykat Ali as he raced to 43 from 42 balls, before Soumya Sarkar undid him. He was out caught and bowled. Al Amin Hossain and Shafiul Islam took the other two wickets.

After that, Elias Sunny and Digvijay Rangi put up a fine partnership to take the score to 150, before the latter was taken out by Abdur Razzak. The next wicket was of Elias Sunny, who soon fell at the hands of the rejuvenated Soumya Sarkar.

And that’s when the real carnage began.

Tanbir Haydar was the next to come in and put on a real show to score 71 from 48 balls. His innings tormented the Agrani Bank bowlers and helped his team post a score of 294 with the loss of 9 wickets. Ziaur Rahman’s 15 from 13 and Sohag Gazi’s 13 from 8 also played a vital role in putting up a mammoth total.

In the bowling department, Shafiul Islam took four wickets in his 10 overs, but also gave away 68 runs. Al-Amin Hossain took a wicket, but bled 76 runs in his 10 overs. Abdur Razzak was economical as he took two wickets while giving away 40 runs in his 10 overs.

Soumya Sarkar ended up with two wickets in his 9 overs and gave away 50 runs.

In response, the Agrani Bank openers got a good start, but failed to capitalize on it. With 37 runs on board, Soumya Sarmka was the first to go after scoring 22 from 26 balls. Azmir Ahmed followed suit after making 15 from 33 balls.

Shahriar Nafees and Rafatullah Mohmad are on the pitch now as Agrani Bank are batting at 66 for 2 after 18 overs and need 230 runs in 32 overs.
