In a surprising turn of events, a match in the Dhaka Premier League was delayed for 15 minutes due to both teams protesting the appointment of a female on-field umpire. Among the players involved was former Bangladesh national team captain Mushfiqur Rahim, who is considered a legend in the country. The teams expressed disappointment and indignation at the decision, leading to a potential punishment from the Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis. In addition, Rahim was also involved in a controversial catch that resulted in an extended delay in the game.
In a high-scoring game, Rony Talukdar's impressive knock of 141 runs helped Mohammedan Sporting Club beat Prime Bank Cricket Club by 33 runs in the DPL Super League. However, the victory was marred by veteran Mushfiqur Rahim's controversial dismissal. Despite raising concerns, the umpires were unable to review the decision due to the absence of TV replays and a third umpire. Despite notable scores from Mahedi Hasan, Sunzamul Isalm, and Shahadat Hossain Dipu, Prime Bank was unable to secure a victory against Mohammedan's strong bowling performance.
