Abdul Mazid's back to back century helped Victoria Sporting Club to complete the 1st phase of the 12-team Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League as the table topper after a 28-run victory against Gazi Group Cricketers in the curtailed 33-over match due to raining at the Khan Saheb Osman Ali Stadium on Thursday.
Abdul Mazid scored 100 runs against Gazi Group on Thursday's rain-interrupted match after a 118-run century against Brothers Union in the earlier match.
The another Thursday's match between Legends of Rupganj and Brothers Union was abandoned due to rain at Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protisthan (BKSP) Ground-3.
Victoria SC and the other five teams Mohammedan SC, Prime Doleshwar SC, Abahani Ltd, Legends of Rupganj and Prime Bank Cricket Club will play the super-six stage of the List-A league.
Three teams Kalabagan Krira Chakra, Gazi Group Cricketers and Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club are in the safe zone to play the next season's Premier League securing 7th, 8th and 9th slot respectively after the 1st phase.
Bottom three teams Brothers Union, Cricket Coaching School and Kalabagan Cricket Academy have to play a relegation league to escape from relegation. Two bottom teams will be relegated from Premier League to First Division level.
In the day's match, replying to 219, Gazi Group were forced by Al Amin's haul of five for 27 to finish the innings at 191 for all in 30.1 overs.
Puneet Bisht scored 86 off 79 balls featuring 12 fours.
