The match was just a formality for the Akram Khan-led side who confirmed the title for the second successive year beating Bangladesh Biman in the penultimate round on Wednesday at the same venue. Their five-run victory against the national flag carrier was however shrouded in controversy following some dubious umpiring decisions.

Back to the day's match, Akram led from front to avenge their 19-run defeat against the same opponents in the first-leg.

Riding on the big man's 77-ball 75, DOHS amassed 268 for 8 in 50 overs after put into bat.

The right-hander smashed three fours and as many sixes while Manjarul Islam contributed 55 off 80 balls with eight hits to the fence and young Mahmudullah Riyad added a 63-ball 55 that produced five fours and a six.

Pakistani Jaffar Quareshi was the most successful Victoria bowler who claimed three wickets conceding 53 runs in 10 overs.

Victoria got off to a scratchy start in their reply when they lost opener Golam Mabud in the very first delivery off paceman Shahadat Hossain and Sajjad Hasan had to retire hurt in the next over.

But one down Mahbub Alam tried to repair the damages with a 17-ball 38, smashing seven fours and a six. But once his cameo innings came to an end, Victoria lost their way as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals to be bundles out for 167 in 37.4 overs.

Nasiruddin Faruque top scored with 54 off 90 balls with six hits to the fence.

Left-arm spinners Manjarul Islam and Abdur Razzak picked three wickets each.

With the outcome, DOHS ended up with 28 points from 16 matches while Victoria finished on 18.

The league concludes today with Mohammedan-Brothers and Sonargaon-Biman matches.
