In BPL history, the highest partnership is 241 runs off 118 balls, with Liton and Tanzid scoring centuries. After losing six straight games, the Dhaka Capitals rose to the occasion against Durbar Rajshahi. Openers Liton Das and Tanzid Hasan Tamim made the Rajshahi bowling attack look easy. Even the in-form Taskin couldn’t avoid Liton’s brilliance. Based on their record partnership, Dhaka scored 254 runs. Rajshahi’s innings was brought to an end at 105 runs while pursuing this tough goal. As a result, Dhaka ended their losing streak with a 149-run triumph in the BPL.
In BPL history, the highest partnership: To chase down 255 runs at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Rajshahi needed to break all previous records. But they couldn’t do it. Under the burden of the mountain of runs, Enamul Haque Vijay’s squad was bowled out for only 105 runs. The top order disintegrated early because to the controlled bowling of Dhaka’s bowlers. Ryan Burl scored the most runs for the squad, with 47. Apart from him, Yasir Ali scored 17 runs.
Following their strong batting, Dhaka’s bowlers were as dominant. Everyone on the team bowled brilliantly, restricting the Rajshahi hitters. Abu Zayed, Mukidul Islam, Mosaddek Hossain, and Farmanullah all grabbed two wickets, with Mustafizur Rahman taking one.
Previously, after losing the toss and being asked to bat, Dhaka dominated from the start. The Rajshahi bowlers appeared to be unable to bowl to Liton and Tanzid effectively. Liton achieved his maiden T20 century thanks to his team’s strong batting. The right-handed opener stayed unbeaten after scoring 125 runs, the fourth most in BPL history.
Liton lit up the BPL with his bat on the same day he was dropped from the national team. Against Rajshahi, he scored a half-century in 24 balls and a century in 44. A Bangladeshi batsman scored the second-fastest century in T20s. Overall, his spectacular innings included 10 fours and 9 sixes off 55 balls.
Tanzid, the second opener, played a superb 108-run innings before being dismissed. His expulsion ended his 241-run opening partnership with Liton off 118 balls. This is the highest partnership in BPL history, and the second-highest in men’s T20.
Dhaka set a new BPL record with two centuries from their openers. In the process, they beat Rangpur Riders’ 239-run target from 2019. On Sunday, Tanzid and Liton scored a remarkable 254 runs, breaking Brendon McCullum and Chris Gayle’s partnership record. In 2017, the two Rangpur Riders batters put together an unbroken 201-run combination against the Dhaka Dynamites.
On this day, none of Rajshahi’s bowlers were in sync. Their bowling technique lacked efficacy. Only Taskin bowled fairly well.
