North Zone batsman Liton Das struck an unbeaten ton on the fourth day of the Bangladesh Cricket League match against South Zone as the four-day fixture concluded in a draw at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram today.

South Zone had taken a huge 432-run lead on day three thanks to a treble of tons from Nafees Iqbal, Shamsur Rahman and Mahmudullah Riyad. With South Zone’s Shafiul Islam breathing fire in the first innings, picking up six wickets for 40 runs including a four-fer in a single over, the task was always going to be difficult for North Zone on the fourth and final day.

Liton Das came in to bat at the fall of opener Mizanur Rahman before seeing Rony Talukdar depart soon after, notched a 125-run partnership with left-hander Junaid Siddique for the third wicket. Liton struck his 100 in 165 deliveries during a three-hour plus stay at the crease. Facing against the likes of national team teammates Shafiul Islam and Al Amin Hossain, Liton powered his ton with nine fours and two sixes and persevered until the end of the day to remain unbeaten on 103 at stumps as the match was drawn.
