Mohammedan and Prime Bank Unbeaten in DPL 2026

Mohammedan Sporting Club and Prime Bank Cricket Club hold the top two positions in the DPL points table.

DPL Takes Flight After Dispute Resolution The DPL finally took off in early May, following Tamim Iqbal's appointment as the interim president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). The tournament had been stalled for several months due to a dispute between the clubs and the Aminul Islam-led BCB. This season's DPL will run into June, marking the start of the off-season in Bangladesh, and will not feature the usual Super League. Instead, the bottom two finishers will be relegated to the First Division League next season. ## Standout Performers Shine in DPL Dhaka Leopards' Zakir Hasan impressed with his 137 against City Club and 74 against Abahani Limited. Prime Bank's Shahadat Hossain notched three fifties in the first four games, while 19-year-old Samiun Basir, playing for Legends of Rupganj, scored a century and took six wickets in the league so far. Mohammad Naim holds the league's highest score with his 145 helping Abahani beat Rupganj Tigers. ## Top Bowlers Steal the Show Mystery spinner Al Islam is the pick of the bowlers with 15 wickets, including figures of 6 for 21 against Gazi Group Cricketers. He took a hat-trick in that game, removing captain Salman Hossain, Mahfuzul Islam, and Aridul Islam Akash across two overs. Left-arm fast bowler Mrittunjoy Chowdhury took five wickets against Rupganj Tigers and six wickets against Bashundhara Strikers in consecutive matches for Mohammedan. ## Unbeaten Starts and Comebacks Mohammedan Sporting Club and Prime Bank Cricket Club made unbeaten starts in the first four rounds of matches. Defending champions Abahani endured one of their worst starts to the league by losing their first two matches but bounced back with two wins in a row. Rupganj Tigers remain winless at the bottom, while seven teams are on four points each. ## Players to Watch in DPL Samiun Basir turned heads with his scintillating 116 off 70 against Bashundhara. He struck six fours and ten sixes and became only the second batter after Elton Chigumbura to score a century in the DPL's List-A era. With his left-arm spin also fetching him six wickets so far, he is one to watch for.
