Parvez Hossain Emon, the young aggresive left handed batter of the country, has entered the record books by scoring a half-century in 15 balls. This is the fastest half-century among Bangladeshi batters in recognized cricket.
Abahani Limited faced Shinepukur in a Dhaka Premier League (DPL) match at BKSP on Sunday. Abahani won the match by 10 wickets in just 6.4 overs, bowling out Shinepukur for 88 runs.
Parvez's tornado batting helped the reigning champions win the match in 40 balls against this small target.
Emon, opening for Abahani on the day, scored a half-century in 15 balls. The tiger batter scored 61 runs in 23 balls with 4 fours and 6 sixes in his individual innings on the day.
The record for the fastest fifty in Bangladesh across all formats was previously held by Shuvaagata Hom. He scored a 16-ball half-century for Shinepukur against Mohammedan in the DPL T20 in 2019.
Farhad Reza and Habibur Rahman have 18-ball half-centuries in List 'A' cricket. Farhad scored fifty in 18 balls for Prime Doleshwar in the 2019 Premier League. Four years later, Habibur scored a half-century in the same 18 balls in the List 'A' version of the Bangladesh Cricket League.
