Najmul XI bowl first as Tamim XI look to make a comeback
Sports
In the third game of the BCB President's Cup, Najmul XI will be bowling first after winning the toss against Tamim XI.
Najmul XI already made a flying start to their campaign with a 4-wicket win over Mahmudullah XI in the tournament opener. Their pacers built a kingdom of their own before Towhid Hridoy and Irfan Shukkur scored brilliant half centuries to seal the match for them.
Tamim XI, on the other side, had a disappointing start. They lost to Mahmudullah XI by 5 wickets after managing to score only 103 runs before getting all out where pacers dominated once again. They will surely look to make a grand comeback as the Tamims set to open together again.
Najmul XI playing with the same eleven while Tamim XI brought in the U-19 World Cup-winning captain Akbar Ali for leg spinner Minhazul Abedin Afridi.
Overcast conditions and rain did play their part in the previous two matches. But today seems to be a sunny day, which will hopefully favor the batsmen.
Meanwhile, junior Tamim has gone back to the pavilion being caught at mid-on off Al Amin.
