Shinepukur, Sheikh Jaml post win in DPL T20 opener
DHAKA, Feb 25, 2019 (BSS)- A cameo 10-ball 32 from Shuvagata Hom steered
Shinepukur Cricket Club to post a five-wicket victory over Legends of Rupganj
in the inaugural match of the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) T20 tournament on
Monday at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium (KSOAS) in Fatullah.
Forced to bat first by Shinepukur, Rupganj scored 115 for 5 in 13 overs,
thanks to Shahriar Nafees for his brilliant 24-ball off 46-run knock.
In reply, Shinepukur reached home making 117 for the loss of five wickets.
Shinepukur got off to a good start but the loss of a few quick wickets built
pressure on the batsmen. Shuvagata came to the rescue with his knock studded
with two boundaries and three over boundaries to get Shinepukur back on
track.
Shinepukur needed 10 runs off five deliveries when Delwar Hossain hit a six
and a four to ensure their victory, with three balls to spare.
