Shoriful Islam and Taskin Ahmed led the charge, claiming three and two wickets, respectively. Despite a good effort from Zakir Hasan, who top-scored with 68, and Mushfiqur Rahim's 44, Prime Bank's batting lineup struggled to build partnerships and fell short of a competitive total.
In response, Abahani's chase was anchored by a patient fifty from Litton Das, who remained unbeaten at 56. Tawhid Hridoy contributed with 55 off just 27 balls.
