DHAKA, Oct 27, 2025 (BSS)-Yasir Ali missed out a back-to-back century but his 
side Chattogram sensed a victory against Rajshahi in their first round game 
of the National Cricket Stadium at Rajshahi Divisional Stadium today.

Following his first innings-129, Yasir hit 92 as Chattogram declared their 
second innings at 277-9, setting Rajshahi an improbable 483 for victory.

Rajshahi reached 219-4 at stumps on Day 3, still needing 264 for a victory, 
which looked out of reach.

Resuming day on 133-4, Chattogram rode on Yasir's fluent batting to throw a 
stiff challenge to Rajshahi. He was ably supported by Irfan Shukkur who made 
41 and added 71-run partnership with him for the fifth wicket.

Yasir later shared 52-run with Hasan Murad (32) for the seventh wicket.

Shafiqul Islam snapped up 4-66 for Rajshahi while Asaduzzaman Payel picked 3-
35.

Habibur Rahman Sohan played an aggressive 33 ball-45 to give Rajshahi a 
fluent start to the chase of a massive target. But Chattogram quickly clawed 
back into the contest with some quick wickets before Pritom Kumar and SM 
Meherob resisted. 

The duo so far added 90 runs in their undefeated fifth wicket with Pritom 
batting on 56 and Meherob on 54.

Thanks to Yasir's 129 and Mahmudul Hasan Joy's 127, Chattogram amassed 401 in 
their first innings before being all out and later bowled Rajshahi out for 
just 196.
