It’s uncertain whether the T20 format has shifted to pure power or if there is still room for skill development through technique. The stats compiled by BJ Sports from the 2026 Bangladesh Premier League show that teams are equally successful using either method: strong anchor players and huge hitters both have a place at the table and represent successful styles of play!
As casual fans watched the live scores, analysts saw a developing pattern: the top run-getters didn’t always strike at 200 as much as the others they also seemed to be more concerned with saving their wickets than taking risks. Let’s go through the stats to determine who actually held the fort this season.
Parvez Hossain Emon: 395 Runs
Emon was the foundation for the Sylhet Titans’ success throughout the competition as they secured the number one position by scoring 395 runs at a batting average of 39.50. As BJ Sports stated, his ability to rotate the strike in the middle over a period of time kept his strike rate respectable at 133.00 while also limiting his risk-taking. Emon may have been one of the least flashy players at the Sylhet Stadium; however, he was the backbone that helped keep the Titans competitive during those pitches that were difficult to bat on.
Towhid Hridoy: 382 Runs
Hridoy has progressed from being one of the most reliable third number batsmen in Bangladesh cricket. In comparison to Emon, Hridoy made 382 runs with a better strike rate of 137.91, so he is capable of turning the course of the match on his own. On the Cricket Match Schedule, it is clear that Hridoy got these run totals in away matches with some of the best bowling line-ups around the world; however, his average of 38.20 has been incredibly consistent for him.
Tanzid Hasan: 356 Runs
Tanzid’s plan with the Rajshahi Warriors was “hit or get out.” He made an impressive 356 runs, but that also shows how often he would throw his wicket away when getting set, thus showing his frustration. His strike rate of 136.40, though, was important for creating tempo. As outlined on the platform, one of his jobs was to generate as much speed in the power play as possible, even at the expense of individual milestone achievements.
Najmul Hossain Shanto: 355 Runs
Shanto’s 355 matches Tanzid’s almost perfectly, but when it comes to his actual performance numbers, they’re a lot closer than you’d expect. According to BJ Sports’ advanced data analysis, Shanto’s overall strike rate of 135.5 is just as aggressive as the Warriors’ (his team), which helped them find opportunities for scoring when needed. His lower average of 29.58 may indicate that Shanto has trouble turning good performances into large innings.
Dawid Malan: 300 Runs
The 34-year-old from England had a completely different approach to the game when it came to playing for the Rangpur Riders. He hit a total of 300 runs at a strike rate of 112.36, which is the lowest strike rate out of all of the top-order players. Fans who were watching livestreaming on Sportslivehub could not help but discuss whether his ability to be consistent (a batting average of 37.5) was either an insurance policy or a drag chain that would slow down the Riders’ ability to score quickly in the last overs.

Consistency crowned Parvez Hossain Emon as the top player in terms of runs; however, it was the explosive cameos by Rossington and Khushdil Shah that generated the excitement in the season. For those who follow all aspects of the game (the players, coaches and fans) with an analytical eye; the tactical details and strategy involved in each match as provided by BJ Sports, adds a level of detail and understanding into how teams are formed, tactics used, and decisions made during the matches that is often lost when looking at just the final score.
