DHAKA, Feb 8, 2026 (BSS) - Team Aparajeyo lifted the CCDM T20 Challenge Cup 
after cruising to a five-wicket win over Team Agrani in the final game today 
at Cricketers Academy Ground.

With the match, the tournament which was introduced to ensure continued 
competitive playing opportunities for players from the eight non-
participating clubs of the Dhaka First Division Cricket League 2025-26, came 
to an end.

The eight-team tournament saw Aparajeyo won six matches from seven in the 
group phase two move to the final while Agrani won five. Team Odommo also won 
five but Agrani edged out them with better run rate to confirm the final 
against Aparajeyo.

However, Aparajeyo put up a solid performance in the final too to seal the 
title in emphatic fashion.

Asked to bat first, Agrani managed to score 155-8, a total that Aparajeyo 
gunned down in 18.3 overs, reaching 159-5 for the victory.

Skipper Touhid Khan led the charge with 35 ball-45, hitting six fours and one 
six but Salehin Rifat Shad gave the impetus with a whirlwind 16 ball-40 not 
out, an innings laced with four fours and three sixes.

His innings basically hastened the victory, denying a tough fight from Agrani 
bowlers.

While chasing the target, Aparajeyo top order made a shaky start by losing 
two wickets for 19 runs. Tawsif Ahmed (18) and Safayet Ifty (20) showed some 
fight to steady the innings but Agrani bowlers hit back by dismissing the 
duo, further reeling Aparajeyo to 69-4.

When Agrani appeared to be in control, Touhid and Rifat shared a 70-run 
partnership for the fifth wicket, to dash their hopes.

While Touhid was dismissed, Rifat closed out the game with the support from 
Rakik Islam who was not out on 15.

Earlier, Agrani got a fluent start from its opener Reyajul Mollah who 
hammered 20 off 7 with three sixes but they lost some wickets in crucial 
moments which pushed them to the corner.

Riazul Karim who made team-best 43 and Rahanur Islam who scored 31gave them 
some impetus in the middle, paving the platform of 150-plus total. But at the 
end, it was not enough.

Masmain Sagor claimed 3-43 for Aparajeyo and was ably supported by Raihan 
Uddin and Asaduzzman's two-wicket haul.
