Afif’s Century in DPL

After being dropped from the national team due to off-form, left-handed batsman Afif Hossain was struggling to find form in the DPL as well. Finally, this young middle-order batsman returned to the run. He scored a great century against Prime Bank. And Abahani also got a big collection based on his runs. Abahani collected 285 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in the allotted 50 overs against Prime Bank at the Khan Saheb Osman Ali Stadium in Narayanganj on Thursday (May 4). Afif Hossain remains unbeaten on 111 runs.

The Bangladesh ‘A’ squad for the series against the West Indies ‘A’ team was announced on Wednesday (May 3). Afif Hossain, who was dropped from the national team, got the leadership of that team. The left-hander made the occasion memorable by scoring a league century within a day of his departure.

On this day, Abahani’s two openers Naeem Sheikh and Enamul Haque gave a good start to the victory team. Vijay scored 31 runs, and Naeem departed after scoring 26 runs. Despite a good start, Mahmudul Hasan Joy also stopped at 19 runs. After losing three wickets, Abahani, who was on the back foot, returned to the orbit with Afif Hossain and Mosaddek Hossain’s 140-run partnership. Mosaddek also got out after scoring 67 runs. Pakistani batsman Khushdil Shah also stopped with 12 runs.

After that Afif played the rest of the overs with Zaker Ali Anik and scored a century. Anik remained unbeaten on 11 runs in the end. Sheikh Mehdi and Kashif Butt took two wickets each for Prime Bank.
