Young Tigers Cricket title goes to Tangail

An all-round performance from Rifat Hasan propelled Tangail School and College to emerge the new champions in school cricket when they mauled Dinajpur High School by three wickets in the low-scoring national final of the Prime Bank Young Tigers National School Cricket Tournament yesterday.
Dinajpur High School, who became divisional champions amongst 68 schools in Rangpur, compiled 133 for all-out in 47.4 overs after opting to bat first at  the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. In its pursuit, Tangail School and College overhauled the target with 11 balls to spare.
Rifat Hasan and Sumon Miah, who evenly shared six wickets between them, were accountable for the top-order batsmen.  Then Razaul Hossain and Sajib Kamal made 58-run for the seventh wicket stand, which crossed the over 100-run mark and finally set a target of 134 runs for the opponent.
Chasing the target, Tangail School and College made a solid start through their openers as they hit 41 runs for the opening stand but they went to backfoot losing five wickets in the space of just nine runs inside 22 overs while they were stuttering at 49-5.
Hasan clattered 44 off 84 that embellished with half-a-dozen boundaries. The middle-order batsman struck 33-run sixth wicket with Sabbir Hossain and 39-run with Antor Islam for the unbeaten eighth wicket stand.
Rifat Hasan was named the player of the final.  The champions team awarded with Tk 50,000 and runners-up received Tk 25,000 as prize money.
