Milestone
Until then, I am Dev Rajawat, signing off, along with my co-commentator Arjun Bhalla and scorer Sahil Khan. Thatâs it from our side. Thanks for joining. But cricket doesnât sleep. Plenty is happening around the world. Switch tabs, follow the fun. Goodbye from this tab! TAKE CARE! BREATHE AND SMILE! CIAO!
Najmul Hossain Shanto (Rajshahi Warriors Captain): "(On finishing top of the table)Very happy. The way everyone has played in the last few matches has really helped us. I think we deserve to be at the top of the table, but the job isnât finished yet. We still have two matches in Dhaka, so we need to prepare ourselves properly. Everything seems to be coming together at the right time and at the right place.
(On individual performances, clicking at the right time) Tanzid hadnât been scoring runs, but now heâs back among the runs. Ripon got his hat-trick as well, which is very pleasing. These moments give the whole team confidence.
(On his own form and team effort) Yes, thatâs exactly what we always want - to play as a team. Over the last few matches, weâve done that really well. In T20 cricket, we often focus on scoring runs, but sometimes that doesnât happen because itâs a high-risk format. Today, Tanzid did his job, and Iâm really happy with that. Itâs about sharing responsibility.
(On collective contributions) You donât always see one particular player standing out every time, and thatâs a very good sign for the Warriors. Everyone is contributing in their own way.
(On the bowling attack) If you look at our bowling today, the way Saqlain bowled really showed his skills. Iâm very happy with that. Rubel, playing his first match in the BPL, also showed great skill. The courage and confidence he displayed were really impressive. He knows exactly what he needs to do, and thatâs what captains want to see, and thatâs why weâre winning matches.
(On the upcoming matches in Dhaka) Dhaka will bring different conditions and different challenges. The way weâve played here has given us confidence, but we need to prepare properly. I hope we can continue this form in Dhaka as well."

Tanzid Hasan (POTM): "Firstly, thanks to the Almighty that we won the game. Yeah, I did fail in the last couple of games, but I know what my strengths are.
I need to be consistent as the the T20 World Cup 2026 is just around the corner.
The match is always good in the evening games. It played on some strength today."

Time for the Post-Match Presentations...
Mohammad Mithun (Dhaka Capitals Captain): "I think nothing worked well for us today. Usman Khan came back and played a good hand, but lost the plot in the middle phase. It wasn't an easy wicket, and we gave too many runs with the ball.
We lost the plot completely in the middle phase. It was disheartening.
(On why Mohammad Saifuddin didn't play) He wasn't available for this game.
We tried our best to perform well, but things went against us in Slyhet. Hopefully, we can turn things around in the Mirpur leg."

8:38 PM IST, 9:08 PM LOCAL TIME: Dhaka Capitals put up a number. Rajshahi Warriors took it apart with calm and clarity. 131 played 132/3, but the margin felt wider than the scoreboard suggests. From Dhakaâs view, it was a promise without punch. From Rajshahiâs lens, it was controlled from ball one. Powerplay momentum. A match-defining fifty. And a finish with 23 balls to spare. Done. Dusted. Professional.
How did the chase begin? Confident. Right away. 9 off the first over in a chase of 132, and the tone was set. Muhammad Waseem came out swinging, striking at 169.23, while Tanzid Hasan looked like a man already solving the puzzle. Rajshahi raced to 60/1 in the Powerplay, outscoring Dhakaâs own start. The only blip was Waseemâs dismissal at 38/1 (4.2 ov), but the asking rate stayed friendly. Pressure? Minimal.
Right after the Powerplay. The game slowed, but only for Dhaka. Strategic Timeout- 67/1 after 7 overs, and Rajshahi were exactly where they wanted to be. Najmul Hossain Shanto struggled for fluency and fell for 5, but that wicket barely dented momentum. Tanzid kept rotating strike. Singles became doubles. The run rate never dipped below eight. Control without chaos.
Yes. The Tanzid Hasan show. He brought up a brilliant fifty off just 29 balls - 5 fours, 3 sixes, pure timing. Rajshahi crossed 100 in 11.3 overs, leaving Dhaka chasing shadows. Bowlers tried everything - pace, spin, angles, but Tanzid read them early. When he finally fell for 76 (13.6 ov, 115/3), the result was already leaning heavily one way.
Any late twist? Any last hope? None. Calm finished the job. Mushfiqur Rahim (12 off 19)* and James Neesham (14 off 10)* ensured no drama crept in. Smart cricket. No risks. Rajshahi reached 132/3 in 16.1 overs, sealing a 7-wicket win with 23 balls remaining. Dhakaâs bowlers had effort, but not enough bite. This chase never slipped.
Who stood out for Rajshahi in the chase? Tanzid Hasan, without question. 76 off 43 at 176.74 SR. The innings that made the target feel small. Support came from Waseemâs burst and Mushfiqurâs calm. From the bowling unit earlier, Abdul Gaffar Saqlainâs 4/24 set this chase up beautifully. One phase built another. Thatâs how wins stack up.
Earlier, how did Dhaka Capitals start their innings? Fast. Hopeful. 54/0 in the Powerplay, led by Usman Khanâs explosive 41 off 27. Boundaries flowed. Timing looked sweet. But cricket turns quickly. Saif Hassan fell on his first ball after the Powerplay, and suddenly the rhythm changed. Two wickets in two balls around the 6th over. From flying to floating.
Where did Dhaka lose grip of the innings? In the middle. 68/3 at the Strategic Timeout told the story. Wickets kept interrupting the momentum. Saqlain struck four times, removing Usman, Saif, Imad, and Shamim. No partnership crossed 25 after the Powerplay. Late cameos from Sabbir Rahman (14 off 10) pushed Dhaka to 131, but it never felt enough. 131 all out in 20 overs. Competitive? Maybe. Defendable? Not quite.
