Sent to bat, the home side lost their top two batsmen for 36.

In the second wicket stand Zakir Hasan and Mominul added 42-runs to curve the early loss before the latter was removed for 15.

Later banking on Zakir Hasan’s 46, Shahadat Hossain’ 80 and Jaker Ali’s 62 the hosts managed a moderate 252 in 80.5 overs.

Aside from Mukesh Umesh, Yadav and Jaynat Yadav took two wickets each.
