Milestone
Until then, I am Dev Rajawat, signing off, along with the scorer Zeeshan Naiyer. 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!
Mohammad Mithun (Dhaka Capitals Captain): âYeah, Iâm really happy - itâs been a long time coming. At last, we finished strongly, and that feels great.
We did make mistakes earlier in the tournament, and the damage was already done, but today showed that if things click on the day, you can beat even the best teams in the world. I genuinely believe our team is very good and well-balanced. There are still a few areas we need to improve, but that takes time.
Today, both batting and bowling worked beautifully together - it was a complete team performance. From the very first ball, our bowlers read the conditions well and bowled accordingly, which made things much easier for us. Thatâs why we were able to control the game and win comfortably.
From a leadership perspective, it hasnât been easy. In cricket, or any sport, when youâre not winning, pressure builds up, and everything becomes more difficult. Managing the dugout in those moments is tough. But finishing the tournament strongly like this is a big positive for us.
As for who might win the tournament - thatâs a tough question! All four teams are strong, so I wish them all the best.â

Saif Hassan (Player of the Match): âObviously, Iâm really grateful to the management for continuing to back me, even when the runs werenât coming. I tried to stay true to my processes and routines, and Alhamdulillah, it finally paid off today.
This was actually the first time Iâve had such a dry run in T20 cricket, which isnât easy because form can be very hard to regain in this format. Itâs been a big learning experience for me, and Iâll take a lot from it going forward.
In terms of what changed, I think my mindset in the last two games was much clearer. I had a good conversation with my brother, Kamal Bhai, and we worked through a few things together. That really helped me mentally, and I felt much more ready to express myself and play for the team.
Among the shots I played, the straight drive is always my favourite. Itâs my go-to shot, and whenever I time it well, it gives me a lot of confidence.
It was also a brilliant team performance. There was no pressure on us, so everyone played with freedom, enjoyed their cricket, and backed themselves. Alhamdulillah, we finished really well.â

Time for the Post-Match Presentations...
Mahedi Hasan (Chattogram Royals Captain): âIn the last couple of matches, we havenât been able to bat well enough, and that has made things difficult for us heading into the playoffs. We know this is an area we need to improve.
With the ball, we didnât start well today and leaked too many runs, especially in the latter part of the innings. We did finish strongly, but the damage had already been done. Batting has been the bigger concern - in the last four games, weâve lost three or four wickets inside the Powerplay, and that has consistently put us under pressure. Thatâs the main issue we need to fix.
At one stage, when we needed around 75-80 runs with five or six wickets down, that became our immediate target. But credit to AamerJamal and Shoriful - they played outstanding innings and kept us in the game.
Now we face Rajshahi in our first playoff match. We know we have two chances, so thereâs still room to recover, but we must improve our batting, especially in the Powerplay, if we want to qualify further. Hopefully, we can turn things around with strong performances.â

9:21 PM IST, 9:51 PM LOCAL TIME: Batting wins games, bowling wins matches⊠and tonight in Mirpur, Dhakaâs bowlers wrote the final script. A blistering start from Dhaka, a valiant late fight from Chattogram, and a ruthless bowling display that sealed a 42-run win. Dhaka posted 170, built around Saif Hassanâs 73 off 44 and a rapid Powerplay of 53/1. Chattogram began with intent but collapsed to 51/5 at halfway, rallied briefly through a ninth-wicket stand, yet finished all out for 128 in 19.4 overs. Momentum, pressure, and precision - Dhaka had all three.
How did the chase begin? Nightmare start for the Royals. Taskin Ahmed struck first ball, removing Mohammad Haris for a duck. By 6 overs, they were 38/3, despite a brief spark from Naim. Imad Wasim then produced a magical spell - a maiden plus only 2 runs in his first two overs, including the key wicket of Mahmudul Hasan Joy (7/2). A 16-run third over hinted at life, but it came with another wicket. At the strategic timeout (48/5 in 8.5 overs), the chase already felt on life support.
Where did it slip away? Control became suffocation. Chattogram crawled to 50 in 9.2 overs, but wickets kept falling like dominoes. Mahedi Hasan (3 off 12) could never get going, and Asif Ali fell at 75/7 in the 15th over to Saifuddin. The required rate had soared past 11, and Dhakaâs fielding squeezed every single. The Royals were battling the scoreboard and pressure simultaneously.
Was there any fightback? Yes⊠but too little, too late. Aamer Jamal lit up the night with 42 off 26, trying to resurrect the innings. A fighting ninth-wicket partnership with Shoriful Islam gave late drama. But Dhakaâs plan remained clear - bowl wide, bowl straight, close gaps. The mountain was too steep.
And then, Saifuddin finished with 4/20 in 3.4 overs, cleaning up Jamal at 128/9 (19.3) before wrapping up the innings on the next ball. Taskin ended with 3/28, and Imadâs miserly 1/9 strangled the chase early. Chattogram managed 128 all out in 19.4 overs - a spirited tail, but nowhere near enough.
Earlier, how did Dhaka set this up in the first innings? By starting like a sprint and finishing like a scramble. Dhaka raced to 53/1 in the Powerplay and 82/1 at drinks (9 overs). Saif smashed a 50 off 29 balls, and the second-wicket stand hit 50 in just 30 balls. But Tanvir Islamâs triple strike (3/25) stalled them at 109/3 in 12.4 overs. A late collapse saw Dhaka lose 6 wickets for 38 runs, yet 170 proved plenty.
