Dhaka-- (UNB) – A fine century by Javed Omar Belim Gullu enabled league leaders Bangladesh Biman to amass 263 runs for 3 in 105 overs against Dhaka Metropolis team on the first day of the four-day Green Delta National Cricket League at the BKSP ground in Savar yesterday (Wednesday).

Biman made the formidable total after they were asked to bat first by former national vice-captain and Dhaka Metropolis skipper Khaled Mahmud Sujon who won the toss.

National opener Javed Omar Belim Gullu partnering with skipper Faruk Ahmed gave a solid foundation to the Biman innings scoring 133 runs in the opening stand.

Gullu played a patient innings of 102 runs off 259 balls in 311 minutes that featured 15 boundaries before caught by Anwar off a Khaled Mahmud delivery with team total showing 222 for 3 in 86.1 overs.

Skipper Faruk, who opened the Biman innings with Gullu, contributed 68 runs off 147 balls with ten fours and two sixes before he was bowled by national captain Naimur Rahman Durjoy at 133 for one in 47.4 overs.

Earlier, batting at number three, usually reliable national batsman Habibul Bashar Sumon returned to the pavilion cheaply with just one run when team score was 139 for 2 in 52 overs.

Recent past national skipper Aminul Islam Bulbul was batting with 67 runs off 161 balls hitting six fours while his partner Sanwar Hossain remained unbeaten at 17 off 48 balls, including one four, when bails were drawn for the day.

Current national skipper Durjoy took two wickets for 91 runs in his 26 overs spell while skipper Sujon claimed the other wicket giving away 49 runs in 20 overs.

Title aspirant Biman will resume their innings today (Thursday), the second day of the four-day match.
