The 24-year-old smashed 58-ball 109 runs, including nine fours and eight massive sixes. During the same match, another Pakistan batter from the opposition side went out to score a century.

Azam Khan's blistering performance led Khulna Tigers to score 178 runs in the first innings.

In reply, Chattogram Challengers started aggressively, and they chased down the target with only one wicket down.

Usman Khan from Quetta batted brilliantly throughout the innings and scored 58-ball 103 runs, including ten fours and five massive sixes.

Reminder for all is that Ahmed Shehzad was the first Pakistan batter to score a century in the Bangladesh Premier League way back in 2012 when he was representing Barisal Burners in the first edition of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).
