Farhan Jani smashed a blistering century to power the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh (ULAB) to a formidable 205-5 in 20 overs against Sonargaon University in the ABG University Cup Cricket final at the Anvir Cricket Stadium, ABG Sports City, on Friday.

Batting first after Sonargaon opted to field, Farhan unleashed a six-hitting masterclass, clearing the ropes 11 times and striking three fours in his 61-ball 109.

His explosive innings provided the backbone of ULAB’s imposing total. Opener Shabab Jamil also made a valuable contribution, scoring 36 off 30 deliveries.

Tournament leading run-scorer Zakirul Ahmed added further impetus with a quickfire 27 off just 15 balls as ULAB finished with a daunting total.

Maydul Islam was the only wicket-taker for Sonargaon, claiming one wicket.

Sonargaon now need 206 runs to secure their maiden ABG University Cup title. They will also be eager to settle the score against ULAB and cap their campaign with the coveted trophy.
