Taskin Ahmed’s list of highest runs conceded includes significant figures such as Shahadat Hossain with 104 runs, Iqbal Hossain who conceded 104 runs in 9 overs, and Mukhtar Ali at 99 runs. Notably, Taskin’s recent performance positions him joint 11th for the most runs conceded in a List A innings historically. Comparatively, bowler Stuart Thomas has the distinction of being the only one to have taken three wickets while conceding more runs in the same innings.
Despite Rony Talukdar’s commendable score of 74 at the top of the order, Mohammedan Sporting Club faltered and collapsed to 271. Abdul Gaffar Saqlain emerged as a standout bowler for Gazi Group with impressive figures of 4-59, contributing to his team’s victorious efforts.

As cricket in Bangladesh continues to evolve, performances like these are vital in shaping the future of the game.
