TEAMS PREVIEW

Legends of Rupganj Preview

After a good start to the season where they won the first two matches while batting first, Legends of Rupganj have lost their last two matches—one while defending a modest total and the latest against Agrani Bank while chasing in a rain-affected game.

Electing to field first, Rupganj's bowlers leaked runs as Agrani piled on a massive 293/7, despite Mahedi Hasan picking up 3/58.

Chasing a revised DLS target of 223 runs in 34.1 overs after rain intervened, Rupganj’s top order crumbled under pressure, collapsing to 32/3 early in the innings. 

Irfaan Shukkur played a lone hand with an unbeaten 40 off 34 balls, and Shahriar Ahmed chipped in with 34. However, they lacked big partnerships and were choked by Agrani's disciplined bowling, finishing well short at 145/6 to suffer a 77-run defeat.

Legends of Rupganj Predicted Playing XI:

Habibur Rahman Sohan, Ashiqur Rahman Shibli, Aich Mollah, Irfaan Shukkur, Tanbir Hayder, Samiun Basir, Chowdhury Md Rizwan, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Abdul Halim, Shadhin Islam.

Gulshan Cricket Club Preview

Gulshan Cricket Club's poor run of form in the season continues as they lose for the third time in four matches, falling to a six-wicket defeat against Dhaka Leopards. After being asked to bat first, Gulshan's top order collapsed dramatically, losing two wickets for just one run. 

Alif Hasan Emon top-scored with 43, while useful contributions from Abdur Rahim (34) and Mosabber Hossain (29) helped push the final score to a modest 178 before they were bowled out in 46.4 overs.

Defending a low total, Gulshan's bowlers started brilliantly, picking up two early wickets to leave the Leopards reeling at 5/2. However, they failed to maintain the pressure as Shykat Ali's unbeaten 88 anchored the chase. Shahadot Hossain Sobug took 2/46, but Gulshan eventually conceded the match with 92 balls remaining.
