CU Correspondent
Holders Rising Star Club got off to a flying start in the CJKS Ispahani Premier Division Cricket League defeating Chittagong Port Authority Sports Association by 56 runs at the MA Aziz Stadium yesterday. Chittagong Port Authority won the toss and decided to put their opponents into bat in a match reduced to 33 overs-per-side. A damp outfield forced the game to start after lunch. Rising Star scored 193-9 with Sanwar Hossain hitting highest 54 while his teammate Ahsanullah made 34. Mahmudul Islam of Port Authority captured two wickets. The stiff total proved too much for Chittagong Port Authority who ended their chase at 137-8 in 33 overs. Halim Shah was top-scorer 30 while Sajjad Ahmed added 25. Nesarul Haq, Kashif Naveed and Ahsanullah each bagged two wickets for the winners. On Sunday heavy showers forced the opening match to be abandoned.
