The Rangpur Division has won the second edition of the National Cricket League T20 competition.
Their victory makes them back-to-back champions as they had also won the first NCL title.
Rangpur sealed the trophy after beating the Khulna Division by eight wickets at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
Rangpur won the toss and sent Khulna in to bat. Captain Mohammad Mithun led the charge, scoring 44 off 32 balls, but the rest of the team failed to find their footing at bat, with only Mrittunjoy Chowdhury (24 off 13 balls) making a significant contribution at the crease.
The wickets were divided evenly among Bangladesh’s bowlers, with Abdullah Al Mamun picking up 2-15, while Nasum Ahmed, Abu Hasim, Iqbal Hosen, Anamul Haque, and Alauddin Babu nabbed one scalp each.
By contrast, Rangpur got off to a confident start, with openers Jahid Javed (27 off 24 balls) and Nasir Hossain (46 off 31) laying the groundwork for a comfortable win. Abu Hasim (40 off 32 balls) and Naeem Islam (19 off 15 balls) saw them through after the opening pair were dismissed.
Nasir Hossain was named Player of the Match for his contributions with the bat, while Rangpur skipper Akbar Ali was honoured as Player of the Tournament.
