DHAKA, Sept 24, 2025 (BSS)—Mustafizur Rahman became the top wicket-taker for Bangladesh in T20 International cricket after claiming one for 33 in four overs against India in a crucial Asia Cup Super Fours contest today at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Having snared the one wicket he took 150 wickets in 118 matches, going past Shakib Al Hasan’s 149 wickets in 129 matches.

In doing so, he also became the first Bangladeshi bowler to have grabbed 150 wickets in T20 International cricket.

The feat was inevitable after Mustafizur levelled Shakib by claiming three wickets for just 19 runs against Sri Lanka in Bangladesh’s five-wicket victory in the previous match.

Against India, he also did a good job by applying pressure toward the end after India made a high-flying start thanks to Avishek Sharma.

He claimed the wicket of Indian captain Suriyakumar Yadav to ensure that India wouldn’t capitalize on Avishek’s marauding start and it exactly became so.

Despite getting 80 runs in the first six overs, India managed to score just 168-6 at the end of the innings, giving Bangladesh a golden chance to win the game.
