For the first time Sheikh Jamal is the DPL champion

Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club has won the Dhaka Premier League title for the first time. Nurul Hasan Sohan started the celebration when the ball crossed the boundary. By that time, the rest of Sheikh Jamal’s players had also entered the field. That is bound to happen. If the occasion is something special, historical, then the celebration should also be broken. Sheikh Jamal did just that after getting the taste of champion for the first time.

The title could have been confirmed in the previous match. However, Sheikh Jamal’s celebration was postponed after losing to Prime Bank Cricket Club. Before this match, the DPL title was just in front of an equation. Sheikh Jamal will win the title by their win or Rupganj’s victory in the Rupganj-Prime Bank match.

Chasing a medium target of 229 against Abahani in Mirpur, Sheikh Jamal fell into a batting disaster from the start. Sohan appeared as the saviour when the team scored 78 runs for 5 wickets. Sheikh Jamal reached the port of victory with 3 overs left depending on his unbeaten 81 off 81 balls.

Sohan led from the front to win the title. 73, 132 *71, 81! The form is going on like Sohan’s dream. Sheikh Jamal lost 5 wickets for 81 runs against Rupganj Tigers one match ago. Sohan’s unbeaten innings of 132 off 118 balls helped his team win on the same day. Even today, Sohan gave the team a chance to lift the first DPL title by a partnership of 72 runs with Ziaur Rahman.

He has scored 468 runs from 7 innings in DPL this year. 3 fifty and a century at a strike rate of 90.34. Sohan has contributed to Sheikh Jamal’s first DPL title. He also kept his form right. Sohan has also prepared well for the busy schedule of the national team ahead. And winning the title seems to have added an extra dimension.
