DHAKA, Aug 1, 2024 (BSS) - Opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim hit a fifty and Abu Haider Rony came up with a sterling allround performance as Bangladesh HP crushed Australia's domestic team Northern Territory Strike by 112 runs at TIO Stadium in Darwin.

Emon made 47 off 65, smashing five fours and two sixes. His dismissal sparked a collapse that saw HP losing next five wickets for 64 runs.
