DHAKA, Nov 30, 2025 (BSS) - The sixth round of the 27th National Cricket 
League (NCL) began today at different venues across the country, with 
Chattogram's Jillur Rahman Bijoy making headlines by scoring a brilliant 
century.

However, it was the bowlers who dominated most of the matches on Day 1.
 
Chattogram vs Rangpur

Jillur Rahman Bijoy, in only his second first-class match, scored a maiden 
century to keep Chattogram in the hunt against Rangpur at Cox's Bazar 
Stadium. 

Chattogram finished Day 1 at 270-6, with Bijoy unbeaten on 105, having 
completed his century. He will resume the second day alongside Nayeem Hasan, 
who was on 8.

The 21-year old Bijoy steadied the innings after Chattogram's top order 
collapsed, losing three quick wickets. He and Captain Yasir Ali shared a 
vital 148-run partnership for the fourth wicket, laying a solid foundation 
for the team. Yasir was dismissed for 77, just missing out on a century.

Robiul Haque was the pick of the bowlers for Rangpur, taking 3-49, while 
Mehedi Hasan claimed 2-48.

Mymensingh vs Barishal

All-rounder Abu Haider Rony played a blistering knock of 86* off 64 balls to 
put Mymensingh in a strong position against Barishal at Sylhet Academy.
 
His knock, which included seven fours and six sixes, guided Mymensingh to 
280-6 at stumps. Al-Amin Hossain was unbeaten on 70 at the close of play.
After opting to bat first, Mymensingh suffered an early collapse, losing 
their openers-- Mahfijul Islam and Naim Sheikh-- cheaply.
 
Ariful Islam's 48 helped steady the ship, but Mymensingh still found 
themselves struggling at 160-6. 

Haider and Al-Amin then combined for an unbroken 120-run partnership to put 
Mymensingh on track for a big total.

Khulna vs Dhaka

Mohammad Mithun's resilient 59 helped Khulna recover from a top-order 
collapse against Dhaka Division at Khulna Divisional Stadium. Khulna were all 
out for 194, but Dhaka were in a strong position at stumps, reaching 64-1.

Mithun's knock came after a dramatic collapse, with Sumon Khan and Mahfujur 
Rahman Rabby taking three wickets each to leave Khulna struggling.
 
Mithun's innings, which included seven fours and three sixes, was the 
backbone of the innings, but he lacked support from the other end. 
Mahfujur Rahman eventually dismissed Mithun for 59. Sheikh Parvez Jibon also 
contributed with 34 runs.

For Dhaka, Anisul Islam Emon was unbeaten on 35, while Foysal Ahmed was on 17 
at the close of play, with the loss of Joyraj Sheikh (8).

Rajshahi vs Sylhet

SM Meherob and Rahim Ahmed struck half-centuries to give Rajshahi the edge 
over Sylhet at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.

Rajshahi posted a total of 236 all out, with Meherob scoring 56 and Rahim 
contributing 51. Sylhet finished the day at 35-2.

Rajshahi's innings was disrupted by a top-order collapse, leaving them at 
121-5. However, Meherob and Rahim shared a crucial 58-run partnership for the 
sixth wicket, helping Rajshahi surpass the 200-run mark on a tricky pitch.
 
Nabil Samad was the standout bowler for Sylhet, claiming 4-42, while pacer 
Abu Jayed Rahi also impressed with 3-62.

Sylhet's reply began with a shaky start, losing two wickets cheaply. Captain 
Zakir Hasan was unbeaten on 17, with Asadullah Galib on 2 at stumps.
