Mustafizur's five-for in vain

A five-wicket haul from Mustafizur Rahman went in vain as Shakib Al Hasan's Mohammedan Sporting Club beat Tamim Iqbal's Prime Bank SC by 27 runs in their DPL fixture at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Saturday night. 

The left-arm pacer took five wickets in his last two overs – his four overs yielding five wickets for 22 runs – as Mohammedan were restricted to 150 for eight in 20 overs, despite a rollicking start from Mahmdul Hasan (23 off 18 balls) and Parvez Hossain Emon (50 off 38 balls).

Shamsur Rahman's 33 off 34 balls and Shakib's 15-ball 20 saw Mohammedan eventually post 150 despite losing the last five wickets for eight runs.

Prime Bank never got going in their reply and were folded for 133 in 19.3 overs, with Mohammad Mithun's 18-ball 25 being the innings-highest.

Taskin Ahmed and Abu Jayed took three wickets each while Shakib took two wickets.
