Taskin Ahmed Wins ESPNcricinfo Awards 2025 Men's T20 Leagues Bowling Title Taskin Ahmed claimed the men's T20 leagues bowling award for 2025 after delivering a seven-wicket haul of 7 for 19 against Dhaka Capitals in the Bangladesh Premier League. The performance, achieved in a high-stakes match, marked a standout moment in the T20 format, where such feats are rare. Ahmed’s figures remain the best in a franchise T20 league match, as he dismantled Dhaka Capital’s batting lineup with precision and pace. The match saw Ahmed dominate from the outset, dismissing key Dhaka Capital players with a combination of accuracy and movement. His first over produced the wicket of Litton Das, who edged a short delivery to first slip. Tanzid Hasan followed shortly after, caught behind attempting to charge the bowler. Ahmed then continued his dominance in the death overs, removing Shahadat Hossain and Chaturanga de Silva in the same over, before finishing with four wickets in the 20th over. Dhaka Capitals, despite the early collapse, managed to score 174 for 9, showcasing their resilience. Rajshahi, the opposing team, secured a seven-wicket victory with 11 balls to spare, marking a significant milestone in Ahmed’s career. His performance was particularly notable for dismantling two Bangladesh internationals in the opening overs, with Litton Das undone by a sharp delivery and Tanzid Hasan struggling against Ahmed’s consistent line and length. The bowling attack’s total of 153 for 2 highlighted the impact of Ahmed’s efforts, as the rest of the team struggled to match his output. Ahmed’s achievement also places him among the elite in the Bangladesh Premier League, where he now has two five-wicket hauls in his career.#taskin_ahmed #dhaka_capitals #rajshahi #bengal_premier_league #nathan_sowter
