Abahani batters Anamul Haque Bijoy and Afif Hossain scored half-centuries to guide their side to a four-wicket win over Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club at the BKSP Ground-4 on Tuesday.

Why the starkly different reactions to the same occurrence, you may ask. And the answer is painfully obvious, hidden in plain sight but remains unspoken.

Abahani head coach Khaled Mahmud Sujon lamented the departure of 10 first-team players from his side ahead of a Dhaka Premier League Super League contest against Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club at BSKP Ground-4 on Tuesday.

Rony struck a career-best 141 off 131 deliveries while Mahidul Islam Ankon’s 50 and Mehedi Hasan Miraz’s brisk cameo, a 29-ball 53, helped Mohammedan to 317 for six

The incident happened at the 33.4 over mark of the Prime Bank innings when Mushfiqur’s lofted shot against off spinner Nayeem Hasan was caught at deep mid-wicket by Abu Haider Rony, who mounted a terrific effort rolling to the ground while taking the catch.

“Shakib will return to Bangladesh by the end of this month. There is a possibility of him playing one or two matches in the DPL. Then he will join the team,” Lipu told the reporters in Mirpur today

“It’s very hot out here but that’s what we have to play through,” said Abahani pacer Shoriful about playing in the searing heat in Mirpur yesterday

Abahani batters Liton Das and Towhid Hridoy adopted vastly contrasting approaches while chasing a meagre 179-run total in their five-wicket win over Prime Bank Cricket Club in the Super League of the ongoing Dhaka Premier League at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Monday.

Bangladesh pacer Shoriful Islam said he follows every game his national teammate Mustafizur Rahman plays for the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The Dhaka Premier League (DPL) action moves into the Super League phase following Eid holidays, starting on Monday.

Partex Sporting avoided relegation league by picking up a three-wicket win against Rupganj Tigers Cricket Club in their Dhaka Premier League game at BKSP 3 today while the Super League lineup has been finalised as Abahani Limited, Shinepukur Cricket Club, Mohammedan Sporting, Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi, Prime Bank and Gazi Group Cricketers made the top six in the standings.

The controversial moment of the match came during the Abahani innings, when a leg before wicket (lbw) appeal against Naim, who was on 69 at the time, was turned down by the umpire

Shanto made 118 off 85 balls while opener Naim scored 105 off 104 to help the table-toppers set a daunting target for Prime Bank

“I think it will create a false self-confidence which will not help in international matches,” said Shinepukur Cricket Club coach Talha Jubair

The Dhaka Premier League (DPL) entered a week-long break for the Eid holidays after the conclusion of the ninth round matches yesterday and with just two rounds to go in the league phase, a lack of competitiveness has been the overarching trait of this year’s DPL so far.

“He [Liton] needs to get back to his basics... He needs to mix more with others and give time to cricket,” Mahmud told reporters yesterday.

Rony ran through Gazi Tyres, claiming 7-20 -- the third best figures in a List A game for a Bangladeshi and his personal best

Rony claimed all seven of his wickets in a six-over spell with the new ball while spinner Nasum Ahmed claimed the remaining three

While Tamim Iqbal started for Prime Bank Cricket Club, Shakib Al Hasan was not included in the Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club eleven during the two sides’ Dhaka Premier League (DPL) encounter at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Saturday.
