The 11th edition of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) continued its trend of high-scoring matches on Friday and saw the first century of this season.

Chittagong Kings’ Usman Khan bagged his second and this season’s first hundred against Durbar Rajshahi at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on the day.

He racked up 123 from just 63 balls hitting 13 boundaries and six towering maximums against a weak Rajshahi bowling attack.

He survived twice thanks to Rajshahi fielders butterfingers on 81 and 95 respectively.

Usman was accompanied well by Graham Clark who scored 40 off 25 balls and Mohammad Mithun 28 off 15 balls.

Chittagong eventually reached 219/5 in their 20 overs setting a mammoth 220-run target for Rajshahi.
