Trophy in hand, Mustafizur Rahman posts one-word message
NEW DELHI:Bangladesh allrounder Mustafizur Rahman took to social media on Tuesday to share a celebratory moment, posting a picture with the winner’s trophy after Dhumketu XI clinched the Odommo Bangladesh T20 Cup title. The triumph came at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, where Dhumketu XI edged past Durbar XI in a tense final.
Mustafizur was released from Kolkata Knight Riders ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season.
"Alhamdulillah", Mustafizur wrote.
Dhumketu XI sealed the title with a narrow seven-run win, successfully defending 208 in a high-scoring 20-over final. The night belonged to Tanzid Hasan, whose match-winning innings (88 not out off 54 balls) earned him the Player of the Match award.
Asked to bat first, Dhumketu XI were powered by a commanding opening partnership between Saif Hassan and Tanzid. Saif set the tempo with a fluent 79 off 44 balls, striking seven sixes as the pair put Durbar’s bowlers under sustained pressure. Their 149-run stand inside 13.1 overs laid the foundation for a big total.
Following Saif’s dismissal to Hasan Mahmud, Tanzid assumed the anchor’s role with composure. He remained unbeaten on 88 from 54 deliveries, peppering the boundary eight times and clearing it on four occasions. Late cameos from Litton Das, who smashed 15 off seven balls, and Towhid Hridoy, who added an unbeaten 13, lifted Dhumketu XI to an imposing 208/3.
In reply, Durbar XI began aggressively, with Habibur Rahman Sohan blasting 67 from just 27 balls. His assault threatened to swing the contest, but Mustafizur’s timely breakthrough brought Dhumketu back into the game. Durbar continued to fight through Nurul Hasan’s steady 54 and Afif Hossain’s unbeaten 60.
The chase went down to the wire, but Mustafizur kept his composure in the closing overs, returning figures of 2 for 33. With Rishad Hossain also striking at a crucial moment, Durbar XI were restricted to 201/5.
Tanzid Hasan’s unbeaten knock ultimately proved decisive as Dhumketu XI held their nerve to clinch a memorable title win.
