Shariful Islam’s hat-trick and beating the defending champions Comilla Victorians in the first match of the tournament…what more could a great Dhaka BPL have asked for in its first match! On paper the weakest team in the tournament. Apart from the two pacers of the national team, Shariful Islam and Taskin Ahmed, there is no big star in the team. In the first match in field cricket, he was surprised. So the joy of victory was boundless. But did anyone realize that the festival, the frenzy was only for one match?
BPL ‘Train’ Dhaka-Sylhet-Dhaka is now on its way to Chittagong. However, before setting foot in the port city, the team from the capital Dhaka officially withdrew from the BPL. Lose 8 out of 9 matches. They also have an embarrassing record of losing 8 matches in a row. The last 3 matches are just formalities for them. However, Dhaka’s captain Taskin made his canvas bigger.
Although Dhaka failed as a team, it is not behind in individual achievements. Dhaka’s Naeem Sheikh is now the top scorer in BPL with 266 runs in 9 matches. Where his batting average is 29.55. Shariful Islam got 17 wickets with the ball at an average of 16.17. The left-arm pacer is the top wicket-taker. Taskin hopes that the two cricketers who have occupied the top spot in batting and bowling can finish the tournament well.
The captain said to think about their career. Taskin wanted, ‘Several players in the team have played well. Naeem Sheikh scored the maximum runs. Shariful highest wicket. If they can finish well there will be some achievement. A good ending will bring some peace. Everyone has a career. ‘
Taskin also talked about the improvement of his performance. Taskin, who got 7 wickets at an average of 38.71 in 9 matches, said, ‘I have expectations as an icon cricketer. I wish I could play better cricket too.’
It was seen on the field that Dhaka could not perform as a team. 8 losses in a row means that the performance is going. Forgetting the past, Taskin only promised to do well, ‘It’s a team game. Two-four people are playing badly somewhere. I will not name. Because it’s a team game. Today it’s bad, tomorrow too. one day i Thus we have done badly. Won matches lost due to weakness. It’s definitely not a good feeling. We also have families. They also ask, why can’t you win? Batting or bowling is losing somewhere.’
70% of the tournament is over. Most of the good cricket was not played except for two matches overall. We have failed in batting most of the matches. I think I should have played better cricket. Moreover, if you lose, morale is down. Then something goes wrong. If you find fault now, many problems will come out. There are three matches, as much as can be finished by playing good cricket. The franchisees expect us to win.’ – added Taskin.
