In a thrilling display of cricketing excellence, the Department of Business Administration (BBA) powered past the Department of English to clinch the championship title in the NDUB Annual Cricket Tournament 2025.
With outstanding performances in batting, bowling, and fielding, BBA dominated the final match, securing a convincing 30-run victory in the university playground on Saturday (February 22).
Being asked to bat, BBA had a cautious start, managing only 10 runs in the first two overs. However, their fortunes changed dramatically as the trio of Ridoy, Rony, and S Ridoy unleashed a powerful batting performance. Ridoy top-scored with a stellar 37 runs, while S Ridoy added a quickfire 28, propelling BBA to an enormous total of 124 runs in a 10-over innings.
From the bowling side, Neel picked up two wickets for English and Junayed grabbed one.
In response, English got off to a promising start, with Neel leading the charge. His brilliant knock of 32 runs gave his team hope, but once he was dismissed, English’s chase faltered. The remaining batsmen struggled to keep up but their team eventually fell short by 30 runs.
BBA’s bowling attack was relentless, with Siam leading the way by taking three crucial wickets. Songit and Rony chipped in with one wicket each, ensuring English could not stage a comeback.
The commanding win crowned BBA as the new champions, leaving the crowd in awe of their dominant performance. The game showcased both the excitement and competitive spirit of university cricket.
