Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman delivered a match-winning spell for Dubai Capitals in the UAE’s International League T20, claiming three wickets in a single over against Gulf Giants. His figures of 3.5 overs, 34 runs, and 3 wickets earned him his first Player of the Match award of the tournament as Dubai Capitals secured a six-wicket win in Abu Dhabi.

The Giants were cruising at 110 for 3 after 13 overs before Mustafizur’s second over changed the game’s momentum. He dismissed James Vince, Azmatullah Omarzai, and Abarshan Dickson in quick succession, reducing the Giants to 156 all out. Dubai Capitals chased down the target in 19.2 overs. The left-arm seamer has now taken 14 wickets in seven matches with an economy rate of 8.29, ranking just behind teammate Waqar Salamkheil, who leads with 15 wickets.

Mustafizur’s consistent form in the ILT20 strengthens his reputation as a dependable T20 specialist and could boost his prospects for upcoming international assignments with Bangladesh.
