Rangpur to chase 137 for second NCL T20 trophy
Khulna Division managed to put up a modest 136-8 in the final of NCL T20 tournament, leaving defending champions Rangpur Division to chase 137 for a second straight title.
Skipper Mohammad Mithun scored the bulk of the runs, hitting a 32 ball-44 with one four and three sixes in a pitch that slowed down considerably after holding matches on regular basis.

After being sent to bat first, Khulna made a disastrous start, losing opener Imranuzzman for duck and Soumya Sarkar for 8.
The crisis further deepened when Anamul Haque Bijoy was run out for 12, leaving Khulna at precarious 21-3.
Afif Hossain along with captain Mithun tried to steady the innings before Iqbal Hossain dismissed him for 12 with a return catch.
Mithun then battle lonely to take the side past 100, with some support from lower order batter Mrittunjoy, reports BSS.
