Majid joins century list as Mymensingh keep Rangpur at bay

DHAKA, Nov 2, 2025 (BSS) – Middle-order batter Abdul Majid became the third batter to hit century for Mymensingh as his side kept them aloft over Rangpur Division in their second round game in the National Cricket League (NCL) at Cox’s Bazar Academy Ground today.

Majid was not out on 119, joining openers Mahfijul Islam Robin and Naim Sheikh who hit centuries on Day 1 as Mymensingh declared their first innings on 555-6 on Day 2.

Rangpur were reduced to 18-2 at stumps, still trailing by 537 runs. They still need 357 runs to avoid a follow-on.

Resuming the day at 281-2, Mymensingh lost Aich Mollah and Ariful Islam in quick succession but Majid helped the side recover from the early setback.

He added 130-run with Shuvagata Hom who made 65, for the fifth wicket before stitching another 44 runs with Tahjibul Islam for the unbeaten sixth wicket.

Tahjibul was not out on 60 after playing just 34 ball, hitting two fours and five sixes.
