Hanif hammers double century in LOM


Hanif Hossain made a stunning double century in a limited-overs match (LOM) of the Under-15 Dhaka Metro age-group cricket tournament as his side Nabin Sangha pulled off a massive 224-run victory against Gulshan Youth Club yesterday.

The 14-year old right-hander used the long-handle as a magic wand to smash 21 fours and 10 sixes in his magnificent 147-ball 200 that gave his team a record total of 503-7 in the stipulated 50 overs at the Nabin Sangha ground.

Asaduzzaman hammered 119 off 83 balls and Ashrafuzzaman played a whirlwind knock of 31-ball 77 in their team's towering total.

In reply, Gulshan were bundled out for 259 in 44.1 overs.
