After a series of bad scores with the bat in the Dhaka Premier League (DPL), Soumya Sarkar finally found himself amongst the runs as he struck 154 against Brothers Union to see Agrani Bank post 334 on the board at Savar.
Agrani Bank and Brothers are playing in the crucial relegation league match and as both teams are on 10 points each, the winner will survive while the defeated gets relegated along with Kalabagan Krira Chakra, who only have four points.
Soumya, who opened the innings for Agrani, came alive in this fate-deciding match as he struck nine fours and 11 sixes on his way to a magnificent 127-ball 154. Soumya’s knock is also the highest individual score in this season’s DPL.
India’s Rishi Dhawan also capitalized on Soumya’s presence as he sped away to an unbeaten 65-ball 80 with nine fours and a six. He and Soumya put on 171-run fifth-wicket partnership. All four Agrani tail-enders fell for naught as Agrani were bowled out in 49.1 overs but not before they had put on a formidable total on the scoreboard.
