Chattogram achieved a historic milestone by securing their first-ever victory in the National Cricket League (NCL) T20 format with a nail-biting 12-run win over Sylhet during their second match of the tournament. This victory was particularly significant as it came against the backdrop of Sylhet’s status as the defending champions of the first-class format, who unfortunately faced their second consecutive defeat in this campaign.
The match, which was curtailed to 15 overs per side due to time constraints, showcased an impressive performance from the Chattogram team. They managed to set a formidable target of 145 runs for Sylhet, a feat largely attributed to the outstanding batting display by Tamim Iqbal. His explosive innings not only provided a strong foundation for Chattogram’s total but also energized the team’s performance throughout the game, proving crucial in clinching this important win. Sylhet’s struggle in the tournament continued, raising questions about their form as they aimed to bounce back in the following matches.
