Riding on an impressive all-round display from Mosaddek Hossain and a composed unbeaten half-century from Mohammad Mithun, Abahani Limited secured their third successive Dhaka Premier League (DPL) title with a commanding six-wicket win over arch-rivals Mohammedan Sporting Club in their final Super League match at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Tuesday.
Mohammedan Sporting Club skipper Towhid Hridoy was handed a one-match suspension for his heated exchange with on-field umpires Tanvir Ahmed and Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid Saikat in a Dhaka Premier League fixture against Abahani at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Saturday.
Towhid Hridoy believes the intensity and emotional weight of “a few matches in the Dhaka Premier League (DPL)” push players to give more than they often do in international cricket, after Mohammedan triumphed by 39 runs over their arch-rivals Abahani in a high-stakes DPL fixture on Saturday.
BCB's cricket operations in-charge Shahriar Nafees informed the players' DPL participation will not hamper the Test squad's preparation for Zimbabwe series at home -- scheduled to start on April 13 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
Just a day after admitting the need to show more responsibility in converting starts into bigger scores, Bangladesh opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim lived up to his words.
Needing 10 runs to win in the last over, Rakib smashed left-arm spinner Taibur Rahman for two boundaries in the first four deliveries.
Both newly-promoted clubs Gulshan Cricket Club and Agrani Bank Cricket Club created a stir in the opening day’s fixtures of the Dhaka Premier League, beating grand opponents Mohammedan and Abahani respectively.
