DHAKA, Jan 12, 2026 (BSS) - Young pacer Abdul Gaffar Saqlain claimed his 
career-best 4-24 as Rajshahi Warriors kept them in favourable position by 
bowling out Dhaka Capitals for 131 in 20 overs in a crucial Bangladesh 
Premier League (BPL) game today at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.

After electing to bat first, Dhaka made a high flying start. Thanked to Usman 
Khan who along with his fellow opener Abdullah Al Mamun shared 54 runs for 
the opening stand.

Usman dominated the partnership by scoring team-best 27 ball-41, a knock 
featured with five fours and two sixes.

Gaffar broke through with the wicket of Usman and followed it up by sending 
back Saif Hasan for a duck in his immediate next delivery.

The two wickets in consecutive deliveries triggered a collapse that was tough 
to gauge for Dhaka eventually.

Ripon Mondol who finished with 3-30 joined Gaffar to further rip through 
Dhaka batting line up, forcing them to lose wickets at regular intervals. 
Nasir Hossain was the other notable scorer with 24 and was key in taking the 
side past the 100-run mark.
