The collection of Gazi Group cricketers was not very large. Their innings ended on 191 runs against Mohammedan Sporting Club in Fatulla. But the Mohammedan batsmen failed miserably in making that run. Mahidul Islam only fought standing in the rubble. Standing as a wall alone took the team to the brink of victory. He was also waiting for his century. But as fortune was not on his side, he did not get a century, nor did the team win.
In the last over, the match was full of excitement. Mohammedan needed 13 runs from the last over to win. 15 runs away from drawing a century.

Mohammedan reduced the gap to 11 runs with 2 runs. After the second ball dot the third ball hits a huge six over mid wicket.
The equation came down to 5 runs in 3 balls. Anisul yorker bowled the fourth ball. Drawing did not get any runs. The fate of the match was decided by the fifth ball. A wide length ball from Anisul wanted to fly through cover. But the ball didn’t go far. While taking 2 runs in the run, he was run out. His innings of 94 runs stopped there.
