2017 ISLAMIC SOLIDARITY GAMES
Bangladesh shooting duo
Baki, Disha claim gold
• Tribune Report
Bangladesh shooters Abdullah Hel Baki
and Syeda Hasan Disha yesterday claimed
gold medal in the 10-metre air rifle mixed
team event of the Islamic Solidarity Games
being held in Baku, Azerbaijan.
In the second day of the Games’ fourth
edition, Baki and Disha beat Iran’s Khedmoti
Najmeh and Noorjiyan Poriya by 5-1
points. This is Bangladesh’s best ever performance
in the Islamic Solidarity Games.
In qualifying, Baki scored 258.5 points
while Disha registered 258.3 points to finish
on an overall 516.8 points. In the process,
they finished third and progressed to the
final round.
After clinching gold, Baki thanked
everyone on social media for their support.
Earlier, Bangladesh’s Rabbi Hasan
sealed silver on Saturday in the 10m air rifle
event with 245.5 points. Turkey’s Akgun
Omor clinched gold with 249 points while
Uzbekistan’s Saif Udinov bagged bronze
with 224.1 points.
However, it was veteran shooter Baki
who was hot favourite for gold. Baki though
produced a disappointing performance,
registering 181.2 points to finish fifth. The
27-year old though made up for his earlier
display by lifting gold in the mixed team
event. •

Kashinath Alauddin High School
and Baliapukur Bidya Niketan Rajshahi
emerged as the finalists in
the Young Tigers National School
Cricket yesterday. In Rajshahi,
Kashinath Alauddin High School
defeated Isdair Rabeya Hossain
High School by 77 runs to secure a
berth in the final. Winning captain
Mahinur Rahman was awarded
man of the match for his five-wicket
haul. Kashinath Alauddin High
School of Moulvibazar played in
the semi-finals in place of Dhaka
Metropolis champion Shamsul
Haque Khan School and College.
The BCB on Saturday suspended
Shamsul Haque Khan School and
College for five years. The institution
was found guilty of registering
outsiders instead of the school’s
students in their quarter-final held
on Friday. The tournament’s technical
committee concluded that
in submitting false documents to
register players who are not legitimate,
Shamsul Hoque Khan School
and College, who had qualified for
the final round as champion of the
Dhaka Metro Zone, breached clauses
‘c’ and ‘d’ under article 3 of the
competition’s by-laws.
In the second semi, Baliapukur
Bidya Niketan Rajshahi defeated
Municipal High School Dinajpur by
129 runs. •
