Mohammad Nabi: In the BPL match, Afghanistan’s his son Hassan Eisakhil share a 53-run partnership
Mohammad Nabi: A remarkable milestone in cricket was reached when 19-year-old Hassan Eisakhil and 41-year-old experienced Afghanistan player Mohammad Nabi teamed up for fifty runs.
In the current Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2025–26 season, Nabi and Eisakhil batted together during the Dhaka Capitals vs. Noakhali Express game at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet, combining for a 53-run partnership in only 30 balls.
Noakhali Express achieved 184/7 in the first innings, a total the opposition could not even come close to reaching, thanks to Eisakhil’s 92 runs, which proved to be a game-winning effort for his side. Interestingly, it was Eisakhil’s first league game in the BPL. Nabi, Eisakhil’s father, however, scored 17 runs. For the fourth wicket in 30 balls, the father-son team from Afghanistan built a 53-run partnership.
At the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Noakhali Express defeated Dhaka Capitals by a commanding 41 runs in the 22nd game of the BPL 2025–26.
After opting to bat first, Noakhali Express amassed a solid 184/7 in their 20 overs, led by a quick 48 off 25 balls from Soumya Sarkar and 92 off 60 balls from Hassan Eisakhil.
Noakhali used the 101-run partnership between Easakhil and Sarkar to record a good score against the best efforts of the Dhaka bowlers headed by Mohammad Saifuddin and Taijul Islam, each of whom claimed two wickets.
The Dhaka Capitals lost wickets often as a result, making it difficult for their pursuit to gather steam. With a resolute 34 off 20 balls, including many boundaries in the final moments, Mohammad Saifuddin produced some late pyrotechnics, but the top and middle order could not provide much assistance.
Dhaka was finally bowled out for 143 in 18.2 overs by the disciplined Noakhali bowling team, led by Hasan Mahmud (2-21 in 3.2 overs) and Mohammad Nabi (2-23 in four overs).
After a six-match losing run, this was Noakhali’s second straight tournament victory. In the BPL 2025–26 points table, they are still at the bottom.
