Habibur Rahman Sohan created history. Habibur has set a record for the fastest century in the history of Bangladesh T20. This opener of the Bangladesh ‘A’ team scored a century in 35 balls today against Hong Kong China in the Rising Stars Asia Cup.

Earlier, the record for the fastest century for Bangladesh was held by Parvez Hossain. He scored a century in 42 balls for Fortune Barisal in the Bangabandhu T20 Cup in 2020.

In the Group ‘A’ match in Doha, Qatar, Habibur came out to bat and created a storm with the bat. In this innings, the Bangladesh ‘A’ team also won the match by 8 wickets, with 54 balls in hand. Akbar Ali’s team started the tournament with a victory.

Habibur started the storm with three sixes in the first over today. In the next over, he hit another six with three fours. He hit 10 sixes in the entire innings. All of them were in the power play. In such a storm, Bangladesh ‘A’ team scored 107 runs in the power play.

Of these 107 runs, Habibur alone scored 88 runs in 25 balls in the power play. He was accompanied by the other opener Zeeshan Alam. He scored 16 runs in the power play. Zeeshan scored 20 runs in 14 balls before being out in the seventh over. The two openers put on a partnership of 111 runs in 39 balls.

Habibur, who scored 88 runs in the first 24 balls of the innings, had the opportunity to break the record for the fastest century in the history of T20 cricket. He needed to hit sixes in the 25th and 26th balls to break Sahil Chauhan’s record of a century in 27 balls. He could not do that. He scored the last 12 runs in Roysoy, in 11 balls.

He did not get much of a strike in the end. Captain Akbar Ali, coming in at number four, scored an unbeaten 41 off 13 balls. Out of the 41 runs, he hit 36 ​​sixes. In the last 5 balls of the overs bowled by Kinchit Shah, he hit 5 sixes.

Bangladesh’s bowling was not very good in the match against Hong Kong either. After conceding 65 runs in the first 10 overs, Bangladesh conceded 102 runs in the last 10 overs. Abu Haider conceded 26 runs in the last over. That’s why Hong Kong could score 167 runs. Babar Hayat scored a fifty for Hong Kong. He scored 63 runs in 49 balls.
