Walton Central Zone becomes BCL champions

Walton Central Zone became the Bangladesh Cricket League champions after beating BCB South Zone by four wickets on the last day of the competitive final at Mirpur’s Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Thursday.

Central Zone needed 218 runs to win the grand finale and on day four they scored 26 runs with the loss of three wickets.

On day five, it was a difficult task to score 192 more runs but Central Zone middle-order batsmen batted well and held their nerve.

Skipper Shuvagata Hom, who scored 116 in the first innings, again batted brilliantly under pressure and struck another century as the right-hander was unbeaten on 114.

Shuvagata’s match-winning knock came off 121 deliveries with 13 fours and two sixes.

This is the third title for Central Zone with their last championship coming in the 2015-16 season.
