Rising Star lose, MSC win
Staff Correspondent, Ctg
Both defending champion Rising Star and title aspirants Moha-mmedan Sporting Club had mixed fortunes when the super six round of the CJKS-Ispahani Premier Cricket League began on Saturday. Brothers Union outclassed mighty Rising Star by 33 runs at MA Aziz Stadium while Mohammedan beat Chittagong City Corporation by 13 runs at the Divisional Stadium. Rising Star failed to make it their day as their Pakistani recruits Ashraf Ali and Kashif Naveed departed cheaply while chasing a target of 200. Sent into bat, Brothers scored 199 in 47.2 overs with Mohammad Ali Liton hitting highest 32. In reply, Rising were bowled out 166 in 39 overs. Opener Gazi Salauddin made 40 off 44 balls. MSC V CCC In day's other match, Moha-mmedan made 221 for eight in the stipulated 48 overs. Zahid Adil scored a brilliant half-century (63 off 99 balls) followed by cameo (46 off just 24 balls) from Rajib. Mithu and Masum shared three wickets each for CCC. Masum also starred with the bat but his responsible 78 off 120 balls went in vain.
