Match drawn in Bogra
The first four-dayer between Bangladesh A and Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) predictably ended in a draw after rain shortened the final day at the Shaheed Chandu Stadium in Bogra yesterday.
Only two hours of play was possible during which the visitors reached 498 in 158.2 overs in their first innings. Bangladesh A were 37 for one in their second innings when rain washed out the rest of the day.
But there was enough time for Rohit Motwani and Srikant Mandle to reach hundreds. Motwani remained patient as he reached 109 from 241 balls with just five hundreds.
Mandle, unbeaten overnight on 57, made 130 from 232 balls with 14 boundaries and three sixes.
Dollar Mahmud picked up four for 68 while Talha Jubair took two wickets.
The second four-day match will begin on June 3 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.
