DHAKA, Feb 19, 2025 (BSS)- Abahani Limited made a winning start to the 
Women's Dhaka Premier League (DPL) by grabbing a hard-fought four-wicket win 
over Bangladesh Police Cricket Club Women Cricket Team on Bangladesh Krira 
Shikkha Protishtan (BKSP) ground today.

Opting to bat first, the Police Cricket team was bowled out for paltry 98 but 
Abahani had to struggle to overhaul the target.

Captain Farzana Haque Pinky, however, played a serene 55 not out to 
eventually drive the side to victory in 25.3 overs after they lost six 
wickets. Prity Das took 3-25 for the Police team.

In the day's other game, Gulshan Youth Club recorded a seven-wicket victory 
over Khelaghar Samaj Kallyan Samity Women's team, thanks to Sandiha Akter 
Asha's six wickets haul on ULAB ground.

Sandiha had an envious figure of 5.4-3-9-6 as Gulshan skittled Khelaghar out 
for just 64 in 28.4 overs. Atika Akter Anura was the only batter to reach 
double digits by scoring 21.

Gulshan reached the victory target by reaching 65-3 in 17 overs with Afia 
Asima Era making highest 17 not out.
