Second over of the innings. Tamim Iqbal, the captain of Prime Bank, made a mistake in timing when he hit Saif Hasan at mid-off. The ball goes up into the sky. Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club’s Saikat Ali could not take an easy catch despite standing still.
After Tamim got his first life for 3 runs at the Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla on Saturday (April 6), he survived three more dismissals in a step-by-step fashion by Sheikh Jamal’s fielders. But despite getting life so many times, this country’s best batsman could not convert fifty innings into century.
Tamim, who scored four fifties in the previous five innings, stopped at fifty this time. Nurul Hasan Sohan did not make a mistake for the fifth time when he threw the ball in the sky while beating Saif who got life in the beginning. Tamim scored 69 runs off 70 balls with 5 fours.
Earlier, Tamim killed Sultan with a personal 27 runs at square leg. The catch was missed by fielder Ripon Mandal. Ripon’s mistakes didn’t stop here. In the 19th over, Zakir Hasan tried to get a run by playing Ripon off. By then Tamim had run from the non-strike edge and crossed halfway.
The off fielder Yasir threw the ball but it did not hit the stamp, the bowler Ripon also did not stay in place. So Sheikh Jamal lost the opportunity to run out Tamim. The left-handed opener survived for 55 runs for the third time.
2 runs before Tamim got Jeevan out for the fourth time, this time he blasted Saif at deep point, the fielder ran in and couldn’t palm it. But Tamim could not use the opportunity. As of writing this report, the team is also on the losing side.
