Faisal takes six-for


Faisal took six wickets while three batsmen missed sure-shot centuries in another action-packed day of the Standard Chartered National School Cricket Championship in the city yesterday.

Maple Leaf defeated Sher-e-Bangla Ideal School by 40 runs in a high-scoring affair at the East End Club ground while Faisal's brilliant spell saw Gulshan Model School through by three wickets against Dr Shahidullah Adarsha Vidyapith at the nearby Dhupkhola Jagannath University ground.

Maple Leaf's Akash hit a 71-ball 97 while his schoolmate Fauzul struck 92 off 68 balls as their school raised 272-10 in 49.5 overs. In reply, Asadur's 94 was not enough as Sher-e-Bangla Ideal were bowled out for 232 in 49.2 overs.

Faisal's six-wicket haul for Gulshan Model was enough to bowl out Dr Shahidullah Adarsha for only 139 in 33.2 overs to which Faisal's school lost seven wickets but won in 27.1 overs.

In other matches, BLS beat Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Government Boys High School by seven wickets, Badda High School defeated Government Laboratory High School by 41 runs while Alhaj Abbasuddin High School handed a three-wicket defeat to Ahmedabag Adarsha High School.
