Table-toppers DOHS crossed a major hurdle on Friday with an exciting three-run win against Mohammedan Sporting Club to raise their collection to maximum 14 points while Abahani, who have one of their weakest teams in decades, expectedly continued their poor show losing their fourth match.

However, DOHS captain Akram Khan must not forget about his old side Abahani, one of the most successful Premiership clubs, who spoiled their championship party last season.

On the other hand, Moha-mmedan will face a tough challenge against Biman at the Fatullah Cricket Stadium to recover from their previous round's heart-breaking defeat. Mohammedan and Biman are joint third in the table with ten points.

Second-placed Victoria Sporting Club, two points adrift of the leaders, take on Agrani Bank at the Comilla Stadium to continue their dream-rum with a team having little known players.

Smarting under a 34-run defeat against Victoria in the previous round, Brothers Union are pitted troubled Sonargaon Cricketers. Mohammad Ashraful will lead the big-spending Sonargaon after club officials stripped Al Shahriar off the captaincy after a five-wicket defeat against Kalabagan in the last round.

Runners-up City Club face Indira Road Krira Chakra at the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium while the match between Kalabagan and pointless Orient will take place at the Shaheed Chandu Stadium in Bogra.
