Anisuzzaman got the heavyweights off to the perfect start as his strike just a minute before half-time changed the course of the game.

Ariful Haq and Shamim Reza then added with their own strikes in the 48th and 55th minute respectively.

Dhaka Mariners Club made a flying start as they beat Sadharan Bima 4-0 in the other match of the day.

Rahul and Chandan scored in the span of seven minutes in the first-half, both from penalty corners.

After the breather, Shishu and Meraz completed the scoring with two more strikes.
