DHAKA, Nov 2, 2025 (BSS)- Captain Mahidul Islam Ankon hit a century as Dhaka 
recovered from early collapse to put them in favourable position against 
Sylhet Division in their second round match of the National Cricket League 
(NCL) at Sylhet Academy Ground today.

Ankon made 122 off 272 with 13 boundaries as Dhaka piled up 310 before being 
all out on Day 2.
 
Sylhet reached 33 for no loss at stumps with Shykat Ali and Zakir Hasan 
batting on 18 and 15 runs respectively.

Dhaka were reduced to 120-5 on rain-curtailed Day 1 but they came back 
strongly on Day 2 with Ankon leading from the front.

He was ably supported by Sumon Khan who made 74 and added 125 runs with him 
for the eighth wicket to take the side past 300-run mark. 

Pacer Syed Khaled Ahmed broke the partnership after which Dhaka lost the last 
three wickets in 10 runs.

Khaled and his fellow pacer Ebadot Hossain claimed three wickets apiece.
