Captain Tushar cracked 58 and then captured three wickets to snap Victoria's all-win record.

After five rounds, holders Old DOHS took solo lead in the 12-team fray as they continued their winning run with a six-wicket victory over Indira Road KC at the Shaheed Chandu Stadium in Bogra.

Pakistan all-rounder Rashed Hanif, however, was the hero of the round as the left-hander struck the first century of the league to lead Brothers record a huge 136-run victory over lowly Agrani Bank at BKSP.

Mohammedan experienced another low-scoring affair at BKSP to ensure a seven-wicket cruise against Orient Sporting Club and climb to second place jointly with Victoria after four victories from five matches.

Away at Fatullah Cricket Stadium, opener Jahirul Islam fell three runs short of a hundred but his efforts helped Abahani to manage an exciting eight-run win against Kalabagan.

The other match between Biman and Sonargaon at the Comilla Stadium was abandoned due to unplayable condition following overnight rain. The match will be held at the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium today.

CITY-VICTORIA
With an ordinary line-up, two-time champions Victoria were going great guns but last year's runners-up City Club, smarting under a six-wicket loss to Abahani, killed their hope to continue the fairy-tale run.

City thrived on half centuries by Tushar and Alok Kapali to set a challenging total of 253-8. Out-of-favour Kapali hammered a 61-ball 54.

Mehrab Hossain, the under-19 batter who played his first game, chipped in with valuable 43 off 50 balls while Rajin Saleh added a cautious 66-ball 31.

Victoria were never in contention and they were bundled out for 166 with Pakistani recruit Jafar Quraishi making team highest 41 after his success with the ball (4-36).

DOHS-INDIRA
After Khaled Mahmud's brilliance with the ball, Kenyan Steve Tikolo and captain Akram Khan smashed unbeaten fifties to enable Old DOHS record a comfortable victory against Indira Road.

Tikolo maintained his rich vein of form when he hit an unbeaten 67 off 76 balls to score his fourth half-century while captain Akram Khan was not out with a 62-ball 60 as the holders posted 199-4 in reply to Indira's 196.

Medium paceman Mahmud claimed four wickets for 28 to wrap up the opposition for a paltry total.

BROTHERS-AGRANI
Title contenders Brothers returned to winning track in style when they rode on Rashed Hanif's 107 to amass 271-8.

The Pakistani clobbered 11 fours and two sixes while captain Ehsanul Haque contributed 47. Rashed then also picked up two wickets for 11 to win the man of the match award.

In reply, the bankers were dismissed for 135 with Pakistani recruit Rizwan Qurashi making 45.

Test left-arm spinner Enamul Haque, Sohrawardi Shuvo and Arafat Sunny took two wickets each.

MOHAMMEDAN-ORIENT
After experiencing a low-scoring match against Sonargaon in the previous round, Mohammedan chased down another paltry total to register their fourth victory.

In reply to Orient's 127, the title aspirants lost their first wicket on naught but Indian batsman Sandeep Sharma's unbeaten 66 helped them racing to the target (129-3) in 31.2 overs.

The Delhi right-hander struck ten boundaries and a six in his 87-ball essay during an 87-run unconquered stand with Hannan Sarker (36 not out).

Left-arm spinner Nadif Chowdhury was the most successful Mohammedan bowler bagging 4-11 but Manjurul Islam was the most economic, the left-arm seamer having conceded only three runs in his ten-over spell including seven maidens for one wicket.

ABAHANI-KALABAGAN
Nazmul Haque returned with a six-wicket haul including the scalp of Jahirul but Abahani put on board a respectable total of 217-8 in allotted 43 overs. The match was curtailed due to a delayed start.

Jahirul made 97 off 114 balls and shared 90 runs for the third wicket with in-form Faisal Hossain, who contributed 63 not out.

In reply, Kalabagan came tantalisingly close to overtake the target but were folded for 209 with three balls to spare.

Mahbubul Karim scored team highest 51 off 73 balls.

Gazi Alamgir and Faisal Hossain picked up three wickets each conceding 46 and 22 runs respectively for Abahani.
