Abahani completed a three-peat of the Dhaka Premier League with a commanding six-wicket victory over rivals Mohammedan at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Tuesday.
The weather, however, predicts bad news for Mohammedan, with forecasts of rain throughout the day potentially disrupting the match.
It's not just the board that's been caught napping. Hridoy’s own attitude throws up red flags about a wider issue.
Mohammedan Sporting Club captain Towhid Hridoy’s suspension saga took a new turn yesterday after he was handed one demerit point for showing dissent after being given out during their Dhaka Premier League (DPL) match against Gazi Group Cricketers in Mirpur.
The situation, both on and off the field, is disheartening. The national team’s struggles, coupled with ongoing match-fixing allegations and administrative chaos in the domestic arena, mirror the dysfunction of the previous regime Faruque promised to reform.
Nasum Ahmed’s unbeaten 13-ball 21 earned Mohammedan Sporting Club a thrilling four-wicket win over Gazi Group Cricketers in their penultimate Super League match in Mirpur on Saturday and also pushed the title race of the ongoing edition of the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) to the final day.

Hridoy’s suspension, and the confusion surrounding his premature return to the field after serving just one game of a two-match ban, has sparked controversy and raised questions about administrative irregularities within domestic cricket.
The Mohammedan captain was initially handed a one-match suspension and four demerit points for his first offence in altercating with on-field umpires. Later, his criticism of umpiring led to another sentence of three demerit points, which should equate to seven demerit points and two match suspensions.
