Ton-up Habibur steer Ban ‘A’ to easy win against Hong Kong
View(s):A sparkling unbeaten 100 by opener Habibur Rahman Sohan led Bangladesh ‘A’ to a commanding 8-wicket victory against Hong Kong in a Group ‘A’ match of the ACC Asia Cup Rising Stars T20 Tournament at Doha, Qatar yesterday. Put into bat, Hong Kong posted 167-8, with top order batsman Babar Hayat hitting a 49-ball 63 inclusive of six fours and three sixes, but the smashing knock of 35-ball 100 laced by eight fours and 10 sixes by opener Habibur, outsmarted him as Bangladesh ‘A’ cruised to an easy win with 54 balls to spare.
