Bangladesh confirmed its place in the semi-finals of the Plate Championship with a rapid four wicket win against Uganda at the Chittagong Divisional Stadium.
The pace of Nazmul Hossain and the spin of Enamul Haque jnr combined effectively to secure a second consecutive four wicket win that puts the hosts into the semi-finals with one match to spare.
After Uganda won the toss and elected to bat, Hossain made early inroads. The right-armer took five of the top six wickets as Uganda were pegged back to 38 for 6.
Haque completed his side's domineering bowling performance by taking the four remaining wickets. Uganda were all out for 78 from 33.3 overs with Hossain claiming 5 for 30 and Haque finishing with 4 for 18.
For the second match in a row Bangladesh made hard work of a simple run-chase. This time is was entirely due to the right-arm fast-medium bowling of Uganda's Emmanuel Isaneez who incredibly dismissed all six of the Bangladesh top order.
Isaneez finished his 10 over spell with 6 for 37 but it wasn't enough to prevent Bangladesh reaching the target in 19.5 overs.
Despite the defeat Isaneez was named man of the match. His bowling figures were the second best in this tournament behind Zimbabwe's Tishane Panyangara and the third best in the history of the event.
"I was very happy with the way that I bowled today," said Isaneez
"This is the first time I have ever achieved six wickets in an innings."
Bangladesh coach Richard McInnes knows his side will have to bat better in the group decider against Ireland in two days time.
"Our bowlers are doing well but I'm worried about our batsmen," admitted McInnes.
"They are playing badly and I'm not happy but if they can rediscover their form from earlier in the tournament I am confident we can reach the Plate Championship final."
