Nafees scripts records

NAIMUL Karim from Khulna
From being a batsman woefully out of form in recent times Khulna Royal Bengals skipper Shahriar Nafees came roaring back to form by plundering the first century by a Bangladeshi batsman in an official T20 match against Duronto Rajshahi at the Sheikh Abu Naser
Stadium in Khulna run unbeaten open-shared with Lou platform for a com-
yesterday. The 197-ing partnership he Vincent Set the prehensive 68-run
victory, their first in the second edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) T20.
While Alok Kapali scored a century in the rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL), the outcast status of the privately owned league rendered its records unofficial.
The victory took Khulna to fifth position as Rajshahi slumped to the bottom of the table.
Both Vincent and Nafees took their time to get set and once that was done they clobbered the ball to all corners of the park.
Having been plundered while on the field, it was a tired-looking Rajshahi lineup that took up the chase of 198. The team crumbled under the pressure of the asking run rate, especially after key player Tamim Iqbal perished in the fourth over to a lazy-looking drive that had him bowled off an inside edge.
Earlier, after being put in to bat, Khulna began their innings in a manner that was completely at odds to their flamboyant ending; opener Vincent played out six dot balls against spinner Monir Hossain. But ever since that maiden over, it was all Khulna as openers Nafees and Vincent went on a run spree. Apart from overs one and three, every over featured at least one boundary.
Boundaries came thick and fast as the openers smacked 81 runs in the first 10 overs. A huge six by Vincent over long-on off Ben Edmondson was an indication of the things to come. Nafees, who till then let his partner do most of the talking, unleashed three consecutive boundaries off Monir in the 14th over. He continued
on his merry way as he drove Edmondson twice through the covers for fours in the next over.
The last five overs witnessed five sixes as the pair rocketed to the second highest opening partnership inT20 cricket.
“I have never played an innings like this in T20s. When I scored 50,1 tried batting till the end. But scoring a 100 in T20 was something that was unbelievable. I believe that I couldn't play my A game for a long time,” said Nafees after the match, alluding to his recent troubles with the bat. Nafees also credited Vincent's aggressive batting for his success. “A lot of credit goes to Lou Vincent, the way he was the hitting the sixes. I batted like I normally did, was going for the singles. It wouldn't have been possible without a partner like Vincent. 90 per cent credit goes to him.” SCORES IN BRIEF
