It was a low scoring affair as the Central Zone walked out winners against East Zone in the first day of the Independence Cup. 4 teams will play each other over the next 7 days in this 50 over comp.
It was a day where the bowlers had the upper hand throughout with Rejaur Rahman Raja looking most impressive for East Zone in holding Central to a mere 177. His figures wrre best for the day.
Despite this underpar total, Central managed to fight good bowling with good bowling and managed to strangle East's batters to a mere 155 in return.
The North Zone beat the South Zone in the other game with Naseem Islam's 66 being the top score of this week long competition.
