Doha: A century from Ushantha helped HBK to register a resounding 267-run win over Bangladesh Club in the Qatar Airways Division A Cricket League at the West Bay Grounds.
The Qatar Cricket Association is hosting the national league to provide exposure to the players.

As expected, Bangladesh Club could not bear the run pressure and collapsed at 141 in 34 overs. Fokhrul, who cracked 52, offered the toughest resistance to the rivals. Johny made 24. Lahiru was the wrecker-in-chief, dismissing four players. Ushantha, Mughees and Gayan all got a wicket each.

Habib (51) and Dharmang (53) batted solidly to register half-centuries. Aamir (43), Sajjad (24) and Ali (22) were other contributors. Amjad Khan and Kushal shared four wickets.
Doha Falcon battled bravely but it was not enough as they got at 270 all out in 43 overs. Hasitha led their reply with 63,.Nafiaz (32), Muftab (31) and Damith (30) batted well and delayed the inevitable to some extent.
