An explosive batting display unfolded at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, where Legends of Rupganj batter Habibur Rahman smashed a half-century off just 15 balls against Mohammedan Sporting Club in the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League. With this performance, Habibur equaled the record for the fastest fifty in Bangladesh’s List A cricket, previously held solely by Parvez Hossain Imon.
Habibur’s innings turned into a batting storm, particularly targeting Mohammedan’s pacer Nahid Rana. In one over, he scored 26 runs, breaking the rhythm of the opposition and pushing his team into a dominant position. His aggressive approach brought a T20-style intensity to the one-day format, leaving Mohammedan struggling to recover.
The innings not only matched a national record but also highlighted the growing competitiveness and power-hitting trend in domestic List A cricket, signaling a shift in batting dynamics within Bangladesh’s premier league.
