On a sunny Saturday at the Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium in Fatullah, the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) 2024 witnessed a one-sided clash between Abahani Ltd and Legends of Rupganj, where Tanzim Hasan Sakib's fiery pace led Abahani to a resounding eight-wicket victory.
Sakib's right-arm thunderbolts wreaked havoc on the Legends' batting lineup, securing a formidable five-wicket haul.
His lethal spells were complemented by the crafty bowling of Shoriful Islam, who claimed three crucial wickets for just 29 runs and Taskin Ahmed grabbed two for 16 runs.
Together, they orchestrated a relentless onslaught, bundling Legends out for a paltry 99 runs in 28.3 overs.
With the ball doing the talking, Abahani's batter swiftly chased down the target in a mere 10.4 overs, displaying dominance from the outset.
Anamul Haque's composed innings of 37 runs off 34 deliveries laid a solid foundation, while Mosaddek Hossain's explosive batting stole the show.
Mosaddek’s blistering knock of an unbeaten 48 runs, decorated with five boundaries and four sixes, left the Legends' bowlers grasping for answers as Abahani cruised to victory in style.
