Kathmandu, November 9
Yuvraaj Singh Samra of Pokhara Avengers has hit a century against Karnali Yaks in the third season of the Nepal Premier League (NPL).
In the match being played at the TU ground in Kirtipur, he completed his 100 runs off 45 balls, with 10 fours and six sixes.
Samra, a Canadian opener, scored the century in only his second NPL match. He is the first player to hit a century in this season of the NPL.
He is also the third Pokhara player and the fourth overall to score a century in the NPL.
Earlier, Pokhara’s Andries Gous scored a century against Lumbini Lions in the first season. In the second season, Adam Rossington hit a century for Pokhara, also against Karnali Yaks.
It is the highest score by any player for Pokhara this season. Before this innings, no Pokhara player had even scored a half-century.
Samra put on a 27-run opening stand with Mehedi Hasan. After opener Hasan was dismissed early, Samra added a century stand for the second wicket with Kushal Bhurtel, which carried Pokhara’s innings forward.
