Mosaddek Hossain’s valiant unbeaten 101 off 50 balls went in vain as defending champions Abahani slumped to their second successive defeat in the ongoing Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League, suffering a two-wicket loss to City Club in their second-round clash at the Cricketers Academy on Thursday.

City Club have secured promotion to the top-tier Bangladesh Football League despite suffering a defeat, after Dhaka Wanderers Club went down 2-1 to Shuktara Jubo Sangsad at the Bashundhara Kings Arena practice ground on Monday.

The third round of the ongoing Super League phase of the Dhaka Premier League was rescheduled and pushed back by two days due to the severe heatwave that has been sweeping across the country in recent weeks.
