The Dhaka Premier League was blessed with three centuries in the three different games. The best of the lot, however, was Shadman Hossain’s match-winning 144 not-out for Shinepukur Cricket Club.

Winning the toss and deciding to bat first, Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi made 262 runs before being bundled out for 49.5 overs. Hasanuzzaman and Ziaur Rahman scored 61 and 79 each to help the score reach 262.

Mohammad Saifuddin, Sujon Hawladar, Shuvagata Hom and Abdul Gaffar took two wickets each with Afif Hossain taking a wicket himself.

In response, Shinepukur won the game comfortably with a brilliant century from Shadman Hossain. He was extremely well supported by Towhid Hridoy’s 50 from 56 balls. Sohag Gazi and Robiul Haque were the only ones that got the wickets.

Meanwhile, Khelaghar Samaj Kallyan Samity lost to Legends of Rupganj. Batting first, Khelaghar scored 259 with the loss of four wickets. Robiul Islam Robi top-scored with 116 from 138 balls and was backed up by Mahidul Islam Ankon’s 125-ball 80, which might have been a bit on the slower side.

Mosharraf Hossain, Mohammad Sharif, Mohammad Shahid and Asif Hasan took one wicket each to help the score under 260.

In response, a great team effort with the bat helped Rupganj reach the target quite comfortably. Mohammad Naim and Naeem Islam scored 82 and 70 to lead their team to a good victory. Ashok Menaria and Rafsan Al Mahmud took two wickets each.
