Independence Cup

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.

The second day of this tournament was a little more freeflowing with the bat; not least in the match up between Central and North Zone.

After North Zone won the toss they chose to put Central in and lived to regret their decision as they amassed 262 in their 50 ivers; the highest score in the competition by some distance. Naeem Islam fought a Lone battle at first drop for North in the reply but his 99 ball 72 was not enough to bridge the gap. This total, plus his 66 in the firstbgame, makes him the competition's top runscorer. His team mate, Shafiqul Islam, is the highest wicket taker with 5.

The East beat the South in the other game of the day to put them on level points with the North. Central lead the way with two wins.

The table was blown wide open today as second placed South Zone beat top placed Central Zone in a high scoring fixture.

Despite Mustafizur Rahman's outstanding showing of 4-63, Central got to 220-8 in their 50 overs - the third highest total of the tournament thus far. That record only lasted 48.2 overs as South Zone met it rather comfortably to tie on points with Central at the top of the table.

East Zone beat North Zone in the other game.

It's all change at the top of the run scoring and wicket taking rankings. East Zone's Imrul Kayes got 71 in today's game to take him to the top with his colleague Nayeem Hasan taking the most economical figures for a bowler with 7 wickets.
