Mohammedan Sporting club won against their biggest rival Abahani Limited in their high-voltage match by 31 runs (D/L method) in Bangabandhu Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League T20 at Sher e Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur. MSC captain Shakib Al Hasan has broke the stumps while arguing with the umpire which gave birth to a new controversy in DPL.
Chasing the target Abahani were in trouble since the beginning of the innings, as three-top order batsman Mohammad Naim (0), Afif Hossain (2) and Aks Swadhin (0) departed before crossing double-figure.
During the ongoing match, Shakib lost his cool and screamed at the on-field umpire as he appealed for a (LBW) against Mushfiqur Rahim in the fifth over, but the umpire Imran Parvez showed no interest. He kicked the stumps at the non-strikers' end, as well as shouted at the umpire.
At the sixth over, the rain became more intense, prompting the umpire to order the groundsmen to put in the covers. Abahani had batted 5.5 overs until that point.
The match was delayed due to rain and the target was reduced to 76 runs in nine overs, according to the D/L method. Abahani were restricted on 44 losing six wickets, Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 15 and Mushfiqur Rahim remained unbeaten on 18 runs.
