Despite some tidy spells from Dubai’s bowlers—particularly Shakib Al Hasan (1/16 in 4 overs) and Qais Ahmad (1/28)—Rangpur found boundaries at key moments. Rohan Mustafa picked up a wicket in his solitary over, but the bowlers couldn’t stop Rangpur from reaching a competitive total.

Saif Hassan was the standout performer with the ball, grabbing 3/20 in 3 overs, while Khaled Ahmed (2/14) and Rakibul Hasan (1/16) supported brilliantly. Dubai lost their final wicket in the 20th over, bowled out for 150 in 19.2 overs—just 8 runs short.
