Rishad's Blazing 87 and Soumya's 59 Shine in Bangladesh's Warm-Up Match
In a warm-up match against a New Zealand XI comprised of players from the development squad, Bangladesh displayed a formidable performance, amassing 334 runs in 50 overs. Despite the opposition's weaker lineup, no Bangladeshi batsman managed to reach a century, with leg spinner Rishad Hossain leading the charge with the highest score. Three additional batters, however, contributed with half-centuries.
Opening the innings, Enamul Haque Vijay and Tanjid Hasan Tamim set the stage with a 47-run partnership. While Enamul departed for 33 runs from 31 balls, the highlight came from the 101-run collaboration between junior Tamim and Soumya Sarkar. Tamim's impactful 58 off 46 balls featured 5 fours and 4 sixes. Soumya, on the other hand, scored 59 runs off 78 balls, including 8 fours and 1 six, before returning to the pavilion.
Despite the setbacks with Tawhid Hriday (0) and Afif Hossain (10) failing to make significant contributions, the middle-order partnership of Liton Das and Rishad Hossain added crucial runs, pushing the team's total beyond 250. Liton's dismissal at 55 off 63 balls did not hinder Rishad's brilliance, as he skillfully guided the team to the 300-run mark. Rishad's remarkable innings concluded at 87 runs off 54 balls, featuring 11 fours and 4 sixes, as Bangladesh's innings concluded at 334 runs in 49.5 overs.
This warm-up match serves as preparation for the upcoming three-match ODI series against New Zealand, commencing on December 17, followed by a three-match T20 series. Rishad's explosive performance with the bat adds a positive note to Bangladesh's readiness for the challenging contests ahead.
