"Cricket itself is a pressure game. The game (Thursday) is a big opportunity for us. We will finish as champion if we win the game. I have never won a Dhaka League title so I am eager for the game. I will put in all my effort to win the game," said Miraz to the media at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka Wednesday. Abahani this season have been the strongest side on pen and paper, having roped in at least eight current national cricketers in the shape of Mashrafe bin Mortaza, Taskin Ahmed, Miraz, Anamul Haque, Mohammad Mithun, Nasir Hossain, Sanjamul Islam and Mosaddek Hossain. Although Abahani made a flying start to the competition, they will rue the fact that they had to wait till the last round to seal the championship. "At the end of the day this is what cricket is. There are many national cricketers in the side but that does not mean we cannot lose matches. Yes, we should have ensured the championship by now. With that said, there is also the excitement of the tournament going into the last round. The game (Thursday) would not have been this exciting if we had already won the tournament," said Miraz. In the third game of the day, Prime Doleshwar Sporting Club will take on holder Gazi Group Cricketers at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Cricket Stadium in Fatullah. Doleshwar and Gazi are sitting in fourth and fifth respectively in the table so their game Thursday will only be a mere formality.THURSDAY'S MATCHESKhelaghar v Sk Jamal, MirpurDoleshwar v Gazi Group, FatullahAbahani v Rupganj, BKSP 3All the games will start at 9am SUPER LEAGUETeams M W L T Pts NRRAbahani 15 11 4 0 22 0.868Rupganj 15 10 5 0 20 0.507Sk Jamal 15 10 5 0 20 0.251Doleshwar 15 7 7 1 15 -0.157Gazi Group 15 7 8 0 14 -0.254Khelaghar 15 7 8 0 14 -0.381
