DKA vs KT (41st Match) – Highlights

In this article, we will discuss the 41st match of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2025, where KT secured a convincing six-wicket victory over DKA at Mirpur. Chasing a modest target of 124, Khulna Tigers reached the total comfortably in 16.5 overs, with 19 balls to spare. Dhaka Capital struggled with the bat, managing only 123/9 in their 20 overs, which proved insufficient against a disciplined Khulna batting lineup. 

The 41st match of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2025 saw Khulna Tigers clinch a comfortable six-wicket victory over Dhaka Capital at Mirpur. Dhaka Capital, after opting to bat first, struggled to put up a competitive total, managing only 123/9 in their allotted 20 overs. Despite a valiant knock from Tanzid Hasan, the rest of the batting lineup failed to provide substantial contributions, allowing Khulna Tigers to dominate both with the ball and in the chase.

DKA innings started with promise, as Tanzid Hasan looked in excellent form. He played an aggressive knock of 58 off 37 balls, including a solitary four and seven sixes, ensuring that his team had a strong start. However, his opening partner, Litton Das, failed to build momentum, scoring just 10 runs off 10 balls before being dismissed by Mehidy Hasan Miraz. The middle order struggled to maintain the flow of runs, with Habibur Rahman Sohan (3 off 8), Farmanullah (7 off 20), and captain Thisara Perera (0 off 1) all falling cheaply. Their dismissals exposed Dhaka’s vulnerabilities against disciplined bowling.

Sabbir Rahman showed some resistance with a 17-ball 20, hitting two fours and a six, but he, too, fell at a crucial juncture, leaving Dhaka in deep trouble. The lower order couldn’t contribute much, as Riaz Hassan (5 off 10), Rahmat Ali (0 off 1), and Mehedi Hasan Rana (13 off 11) all fell in quick succession. Mustafizur Rahman and Abu Jayed remained unbeaten but could only take the total to 123/9. 

KT bowlers were outstanding, with Hasan Mahmud (2/5 in 4 overs) and William Bosisto (2/10 in 4 overs) putting up match-winning performances. Musfik Hasan (1/31), Mehidy Hasan Miraz (1/30), Nasum Ahmed (1/20), Ziaur Rahman (1/10), and Mohammad Nawaz (1/15) also chipped in with crucial wickets to restrict Dhaka to a modest total.

Chasing 124, Khulna Tigers had a shaky start as Mustafizur Rahman struck early, dismissing both Mohammad Naim (0 off 2) and Afif Hossain (0 off 3) cheaply. At 14/2, the match seemed to be evenly poised, but Khulna’s captain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, led from the front with a spectacular unbeaten knock of 74 off 55 balls. His innings was laced with five boundaries and four sixes, keeping the scoreboard ticking despite early setbacks. 

Alex Ross provided good support with 22 off 19 balls before he fell to Rahmat Ali. William Bosisto added a steady 18 off 20 before becoming Mustafizur’s third victim. However, Miraz held his ground, guiding his team towards victory with smart and controlled batting.

Khulna eventually reached the target in 16.5 overs, finishing at 128/4 with 19 balls to spare. The disciplined bowling from Dhaka Capital, led by Mustafizur Rahman (3/16 in 4 overs), was not enough to defend the low total. Rahmat Ali (1/24) also picked up a wicket, but the rest of the bowlers struggled to contain Khulna’s chase. Farmanullah (0/47 in 4 overs) proved expensive, conceding crucial runs that helped Khulna accelerate towards their target.

In the end, Khulna Tigers’ clinical all-round performance ensured a dominant win, boosting their standing in the BPL 2025. Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s captain’s knock was the highlight of the match, proving his ability to anchor a chase under pressure. Dhaka Capital, on the other hand, will have to reassess their batting strategies, as their middle-order failure cost them a crucial game in the tournament.
