National team pacer Shoriful Islam was on fire in the early morning for Legends of Rupganj, picking up a four-for against Gazi Group to help his side to a 10-wicket win in their Dhaka Premier League fixture at BKSP Ground 3 on Tuesday.

Rupganj has built a strong unit this season with a string of national team stars and Shoriful landed early blows in the very first over. He picked up Gazi captain Anamul Haque Bijoy on the very first delivery of the innings, a lucky caught-behind decision with the ball appearing to nick the thigh before going to the wicket-keeper. A gem of a delivery saw Mohammad Salman back in the dugout in the fifth delivery.

Shoriful then bagged two more wickets, sending back Aminul Islam Biplob and Parvez Hossain Jibon for ducks. When Shoriful's national teammate Tanzim Sakib castled Shamsur Rahman for a duck next over, Gazi had slumped to six down for four in the fourth over. The competitiveness ended there with some lower-order runs seeing Gazi eventually bowled out for 93. Tanzid Tamim hit an unbeaten 46-ball 65 as Legends of Rupganj coasted to the win in 13.5 overs.

Shinepukur won by 77 runs against Partex Sporting in another game at BKSP Ground 4 as Rayan Rafsan's 81-ball 87 saw Shinepukur put on 298 for five. Muktar Ali, who was given nine overs to bowl by Partex skipper Sabbir Rahman, ended up conceding 99 runs.

Partex were bowled out for 221 following a cumbersome batting effort as Al Fahad and Rafiuzzaman Rafi scalped three wickets each.

Nurul Hasan Sohan was the hero for Dhanmondi Club during a four-wicket win over Brothers Union at Mirpur's Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. In chase of 262 for five, Sohan struck an unbeaten 53-ball 58 to help Dhanmondi over the ropes after contributions from Yasir Ali (41) and Fazle Mahmud (55).

Earlier, Brothers reached 262 for five, thanks to Mahfizul Islam's 111-ball 84.
