Partex Sporting Club did not make a good start in their return to the Premier League. In the first match, they lost to Abahani by a big margin. In the second match, they did not succeed against Gazi group cricketers. Their opponent in the third round on Monday was Gazi Tires Cricket Academy.
The two teams are very close in strength. There is no big name in both the teams. Pertex defeated Gazi Tires by 52 runs in the fight to advance. However, there was no excitement in the match. There was no heat. Pertex won the low-scoring match to open their account of victory.
Partex scored 197 runs for 9 wickets at the invitation of Gazi Tires at ground number 3 of BKSP. In reply, Gazi Tires were bowled out for 145 runs. The scorecard says that the bowlers were dominant throughout the match. There was no fifty run innings between the two innings.
Partex’s Tanveer Haider scored the highest 49 runs in the match. Besides, Azmir Ahmed scored 44 runs. Another Pertex batsman Ahrar Amin scored 41 runs. Although there were three innings of 40 home runs, the capital of the team did not increase as no one increased the innings.
Pacer Maruf Mridha took 3 wickets for 43 runs for Gazi Tyres. Taufiq Ahmed and Aridul Islam Akash got 2 wickets each.
The target population was not large. But none of the Gazi Tires cricketers could catch up. Only Shibli (30), Ashraful (37) and Shamim (31) have crossed the 30 mark. Everyone else disappointed.
Pacer Muktar Ali and spinner Rakibul Atiq shared 3 wickets each. Mohr Sheikh took 2 wickets. Tofail Ahmed and Rajibul Islam got 1 wicket each.
Rakibul Atiq became the hero of this low scoring match. This offspinner took 3 wickets for just 15 runs from 2 maidens in 10 overs.
