The fourth round of games in the Dhaka Premier League began with six teams participating across three different games and one of the games is taking place between Brothers Union and Prime Doleshwar. After winning the toss, the latter decided to field first.

Being put to bat first on a moderately batting friendly track, Mizanur Rahman and Junaid Siddique started well to put up a partnership worth 54 runs, before Farhad Reza got the wicket of the latter. Siddique made 15 runs before departing to the pavilion.

Suhrawadi Shuvo came in at number 3, but could only make 10 runs before being sent back to the dugout. After that, Myshukur Rahman and Mizanur Rahman put up a good partnership before the former got out for 28 from 48 balls.

Mizanur Rahman got out just two balls later as Fazle Mahmud got both the wickets. The in-form Alok Kapali was the next to go as Ryan TenDoeschate picked his wicket. Yasir Ali and Ifthekar Sajjd put up a good fight after that, making 44 and 23 respectively, but couldn’t take the team over 250.

Brothers were bundled up for 214 with TenDoeschate and Fazle Mahmud getting 3 wickets each while Farhad Reza picked 2 wickets and Arafat Sunny and Sharifullah finished with a wicket each.

In response, openers Liton Das and Imtiaz Hossain gave the team a great start with an 82 run partnership, after which Liton Das was scalped by Alok Kapali for 43 from 60 balls.

Imtiaz Morshed was the next to go after he made 39 from 70 balls. The thing with Doleshwar, however, was that they continued getting the runs on board. Fazle Mahmud’s 73 from 80 balls and Marshall Ayub’s 44 from 63 balls virtually won them the game with Ryan TenDoeschate and Farhad Hossain getting the honour of going to the dressing room with a win for their team.

For the Brothers’ bowlers, Kapali took three wickets while Nihaduzzaman took the other scalp.
