e-News® | The NEWS Company…Dhaka, October 06, 2015 : Dhaka Metro’s Marshall Ayub scored a fighting century while Sylhet’s Imtiaz Hossain struck an equally gritty ton on an eventful third day of the yesterday. But despite their valiant efforts both Metro, who failed to avoid the follow-on mark, and Sylhet, still struggling to get anywhere near Barisal’s massive score, will be fighting to save the game on the fourth and final day today.
The third day witnessed some brilliant performers with the ball also. Dhaka’s Mosharraf Hossain took a six-wicket haul against Rangpur in Bogra while Bangladesh under-19 captain Mehedi Hasan Miraz followed his half-century with a six-wicket haul for Khulna in Mirpur.
Having lost four quick wickets on Day Two, Metro seemed to be in trouble against Khulna, who were defending an impressive 455. However, Marshall’s 107 and a fighting 66 from Sharifullah ensured Metro post 271 before being bundled out. Khulna still have a chance to win the game while Metro will be hoping to survive the 90 overs.
