The win also confirmed Rajshahi a place in the last four. They will meet Comilla in the second semifinal to be played at this second Test venue of the country on June 2. The final will also be played here on June 4.

Jahurul scored a disciplined 75 as Rajshahi raced to 146 for 5 in 43 overs in reply to Sylhet's 145 all out in 48.2 overs.

The right-hander stayed at the crease two hours and 49 minutes and faced 125 balls that included four hits to the rope.

Earlier, sent into bat, the Sylhetis were bundled out for a meagre total despite an enterprising knock of 51 by Ijaz.

Ijaz took the Rajshahi attack to the sword hammering three massive sixes and a four in his 67-ball innings. But the rest failed to show any real resistance against a joint-attack of Mustakim and Mushfiqur Rahman, who evenly shared six wickets giving away 12 and 24 runs respectively.

Tushar with 37 off 86 balls was the other notable scorer for Sylhet who haplessly watched eight of their batsmen fail to even reach double figures.

On the other hand, Rajshahi never looked to be in any sort of problem while chasing the modest target, with Jahurul leading the way.

He got good support from Nuruzzaman Nayan (27 off 66 balls) and Rafiqul Islam (16 off 37). His 54-run fourth wicket partnership with Nayan took the game firmly in favour of Rajshahi.
