The win was only Dhaka’s third this season, keeping the franchise in contention for a place in the playoffs.

Chittagong Kings spinner Aliss Al Islam has been called for suspect action, BCB sources confirmed.

The Sri Lankan on Tuesday spoke to The Daily Star's Samsul Arefin Khan over phone, sharing his experience regarding with the franchise and some other issues as well.

Bangladesh batter Afif Hossain revealed he was suffering from a lack of confidence under previous head coach Chandika Hathurusingha, a period which he feels had held him back from performing consistently. 

“What’s there to be upset about?” Taskin said with a smile during the press conference.

Wide yorkers are one of the key weapons in the arsenal for bowlers trying to stem the flow of runs in T20s. Dhaka Capitals had a set Liton Das at the crease and skipper Thisara Perera has the knack for incredible cameo knocks. Both plundered runs with some scintillating bat-speed during their game against Sylhet Strikers in Chattogram on Monday.

Chittagong Kings' Naeem Islam delivered with bat and ball to help his side to a 111-run win over Durbar Rajshahi in a Bangladesh Premier League group-stage fixture in Chattogram on Monday.

Fans were presented with another sampling of it when Sylhet Strikers’ frontline pacer Al-Amin Hossain played no part in their group-stage fixture against Dhaka Capitals in Chattogram on Monday despite being named in the playing eleven. 

Dhaka banked on Liton’s 70 and skipper Thisara’s cameo of 37 to post 196 for six, with a helping hand from wides and extra runs gifted by Sylhet bowlers.

BPL franchise Durbar Rajshahi have announced experienced pacer Taskin Ahmed as the new skipper for their remaining matches of the Bangladesh Premier League after relieving regular skipper Anamul Haque Bijoy from the role to ‘give him some space to concentrate only on his batting’.

Rangpur Riders star Alex Hales played his last game for the franchise in the current edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) on January 9 in Sylhet. Just three days later, he appeared for Desert Vipers against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the ILT20 in Abu Dhabi.

Hasan Mahmud pulled things together for Khulna Tigers in the death overs to snatch victory from the claws of defeat as even an Anamul Haque Bijoy ton came in vain for Durbar Rajshahi.

Fortune Barishal’s veteran batter Mahmudullah Riyad broke all-rounder Mehdi Hasan Miraz’s record for the most matches played for the franchise on Sunday. 

Dawid Malan had been watching this BPL from the sidelines and before today, he had appeared in just one game. The chase of Chittagong Kings’ 121 for eight did not appear to be a steep one at first, but after Tamim Iqbal was run out following a confusion with the Englishman, the pressure was on Malan.

Rishad’s Barishal teammate Dawid Malan, appearing in his fifth BPL, knows a thing or two about being benched, as the former England batter has played in only one game this edition. During a press conference yesterday, Malan gave his views on playing in foreign leagues and on Rishad.

After a training session at the MA Aziz Stadium in Chattogram yesterday, most of the Dhaka Capitals cricketers had exited the ground, but not Sabbir Rahman. Sabbir, who remains a fan favourite despite not playing for Bangladesh since 2022, stayed back to work on his power hitting – something he has shown glimpses of in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

The 37-year-old former England batter expressed gratitude to Bangladesh cricket for helping shape his career.
