DHAKA, March 27, 2024 (BSS) - Just a day after being released from the Test 
team to accommodate Shakib Al Hasan, Towhid Hridoy struck a belligerent 
century to lead Abahani Limited to a comprehensive 140-run victory against 
Rupganj Tigers Cricket Club at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium in Fatullah 
today.
 
This was Abahani's sixth straight league victory in which they led the table 
as the only unbeaten team so far. 
 
Put into bat first, Abahani compiled a hefty 320-4 with Hriody making the 
carnage with a whirlwind 84 ball-125 not out, a knock laced with 11 fours and 
six sixes.
 
Jaker Ali Anik, however, provided the platform for the late onslaught with 78 
off 95, smashing three fours and five sixes. 
 
Hridoy and skipper Mosaddek Hossain Saikat then hammered 87 runs from just 48 
balls in their undefeated fifth wicket stand to propel the side past the 300-
run mark.
 
Saikat was unbeaten on 43 off 26 after hitting four fours and two sixes.
