DHAKA, Oct 5, 2025 (BSS)-Opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy hit his maiden century in
T20 format as Chattogram Division topped the NCL T20 point table, crushing
Sylhet by 99 runs at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today.
Joy smashed a 63 ball-110, laced with five fours and nine towering sixes,
guiding Chattogram to a daunting 214-6, before their bowler made a mockery
with Sylhet batting line up to skittle them out for just 115 in 18.1 overs.
Put into bat first, Joy and Mominul Haque gave Chattogram a solid start,
having added 63 off 40 balls, with the former hitting 32 off 19.
The middle order batters Shahadat Hossain Dipu (2) and Sadikur Rahman (14)
were dismissed in quick succession before Irfan Shukkur provided an ably
support for Joy.
Together they combined for 122 runs for the fourth wicket to propel the side
past 200-run mark.
Joy in the meantime completed his first T20 century and was dismissed in the
last overs. Two balls later Irfan followed him after blasting 22 ball-41, an
innings studded with four fours and two sixes.
Their dismissal in three balls, however, mattered little.
Tofael Ahmed claimed 3-37 while Nabil Samad returned figures of 2-24 but
their effort couldn't dent Chattogram.
Opener Amite Hasan made a fluent start but other Sylhet batters crumbled
under the pressure of huge chase that eventually resulted in losing wicket at
regular interval. Amite top-scored for the side with 40 off 25, sending the
ball across the ropes for seven times.
No.9 batter Abu Jayed Rahi made 37 while Khalid Hasan was the only other from
Sylhet to reach double digits as he made 18.
Mohammad Rubel Mea grabbed 3-15 for Chattogram.
