Guwahati, Dec 20: The first Bud Challenge Twenty20 Cricket tournament for Dhireswar Kalita Cup saw two unique performances on Thursday.
Palashjyoti Das of Gauhati Town Club scored a magnificent 164 while Jintu Das of River Rine Club completed a hat-trick against Bud B in the other match of the day.
The first match of the day was between GCCC 'A' and Ankurjyoti Cricket Academy. Palash, who scored a magnificent century against Tripura in the last Ranji Plate match in the same ground, continued his fine form scoring 164 runs. He needed just 64 balls to score the runs with 18 boundaries.

In the second match of the day, Jintu Das hogged the lime light, completing the first hat-trick of the tournament. The match saw the comeback of former Ranji cricketer Rajesh Bora in competitive cricket but this was over shadowed by Jintu who scalped four wicket for 26 runs.
