Prime Bank is a bit behind after losing the previous match. Sheikh Jamal’s Jayarath also stopped today. The last time champions tasted their first defeat in this Premier League by losing to Mohammedan. But Mashrafe’s Legends of Rupganj did not stop. Last year’s runners-up tasted their 6th consecutive win in the league after defeating Gazi Group by 6 wickets at Fatullah Khan Sahib Osman Ali Stadium today. The goal was not small. Legends of Rupganj needed 278 runs to win. But the young all-rounder Sabbir Hossain, wicketkeeper-cum-hard-hitter Irfan Sukkur and India’s Chirag Jani’s batting tenacity picked up 4 wickets and 14 balls earlier, Mashrafe’s team won. At the end of the day, Legends of Rupganj’s Irfan Sukkur returned to Sajghar as a winner by giving the team an unbeaten innings of 77 runs off 97 balls. Sabbir Hossain (66 from 74 balls) and India’s Chirag Jani (5 boundaries and 3 sixes from 52 balls) also contributed effectively to the team’s win. But despite scoring a great century in the first session, Gazi Group’s Indian recruit T Ravi Teja sank in despair at the end of the day. Ravi Teja played an innings of 103 runs by hitting 8 boundaries and 2 sixes in 111 balls. Based on his innings, Gazi Group kept the run at 270. But that century is gone. That capital was not enough. Captain Mashrafe of Rupganj is a smiling legend at the end of the day despite being wicketless in the first session and beaten by the opposing batsmen with 59 runs. Gazi Group: 277/10, 48.1 overs (Habibur Rahman Sohan 9, Mehdi Maruf 0, Farhad Hossain 0, T Ravi Teja 103, Mahmudul Hasan 55, Akbar Ali 21, Zubarul 20, Enamul 22, Kazi Anik 28, Al Amin Hossain 5/57, Chirag Jani 2/38, Sohag Ghazi 2/48, Naeem Islam Jr 1/49, Mashrafe 0/59). Legends of Rupganj: 280/4, Munim Shahriar 14, Parvez Hossain Imon 37, Sabbir Rahman 66, Irfan Sukkur 77*, Chirag Jani 68, Tanvir Haider 15 not out, Enamul Haque, Kazi Anik, Nihaduzzaman and Zahurul 1 wicket each.
