Another century was seen in BPL. This year’s Centurion Chittagong Challengers opener is Tanjid Hasan Tamim. Tanjid played an extraordinary innings against Khulna Tigers in their life-and-death battle. Chittagong got huge capital in the 58-ball century in the four-six ceremony.
Today Tuesday (February 20) at noon at the Zahoor Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong, Chittagong went to bat first and scored 192 runs for 4 wickets. Centurion Tanjid scored 116 runs off 65 balls. 8 fours and sixes came from his bat. The strike rate was eye-popping, 178.46.

Today’s match is very important for both the teams in the fight to reach the playoffs. Chittagong points 12, Khulna 10. Those who win today will advance to the final four. Chittagong capitalized on Tanjid’s brilliant batting. It remains to be seen if the bowlers can do the rest.
Chittagong won the toss and went into bat and lost the wicket in the second over. Mohammad Wasim is out for 1 run. Tanjid and Saikat made a partnership of 56 runs from there. Batting aggressively from the beginning of the innings, Tanjid was running towards big runs. It was understood by his batting. Brilliant shot from down the wicket, standing pool and square cut to send several balls to the boundary. Neither Holder nor Parnell nor the charmers could be a threat to him. Tanjid got his fifty off 32 balls and reached his century in the next 26 balls. Needless to say. The left-handed opener increased the aggression to 22 yards.
BPL’s first centurion Tawheed reached three figures off 53 balls. Will Jacques scored a century off 50 balls in Chittagong. Tanjid played 58 balls today. The bowlers did not let the centuries of the previous two go in vain. Tanjid’s face will smile at the end of the day?
