Dhaka King did not succumb to magic of DG Jadoo in the second semi of the ISPAB cricket tournament on Monday. Dhaka King reached the final beating DG Jadoo by 32 runs before reaching the target. Rajin was man of the match. This all-rounder of Dhaka King took 24 wickets with the bat and four spells.
Earlier, Dhaka Kings team leader Farhad won the toss and decided to bat. Dhaka Kings was all out for 155 runs with 5 balls left in the bat against Sajjad's team DG Jadoo. The opening pair of Tarek-Rubel gifted the team a half-century in the 5th over.
However, bowler Limon stopped Tarek who scored 37 runs in 19 balls for the team's 62 runs. Rubel, the other opening batsman, failed to reach the wicket after hitting a slow ball. The team's total of 165 was supposed to be 165 in their time, but the strength of the tail enders did not cut it. Rifat's back to back wickets slowed the run rate towards the end of the innings. Shakib Bhuiyan was caught at long on while hitting the first ball of the final match for a six.
In response, DG Jadoo’s Sajjad-Nahid started cautiously from the start but Nahid was bowled by Sanju at long on point for 2 runs in the first over. Then Saiful Sujan was caught by wicket keeper Saikat while punching Saddam's ball. The team captain Sajjad returned to pavilion with an average of 17 runs off 8 balls with Limon Hossain. Then Limon took the captain's way by picking up a run. FF-Saddam's bowling was under great pressure, losing 3 wickets for 28 runs. No batsman could show more batting magic in Rajin's double chase. However, with Ashraful's impeccable batting, DG Jadoo managed to send the ball out of the field in the fourth ball of the 11th over. But he was bowled on the next ball for a personal 48 runs. But in the end no one else could follow Ashraful. Although he scored 123 runs in 13 overs for seven wickets, Rika's run rate gradually increased. When Sohail, who kept the wicket for a long time, was bowled out by Saddam's yorker, DG Jadoo was reduced to 123 runs.
