The Dhaka Premier League (DPL) 2026 has officially kicked off, with Mohammedan Sporting Club and Prime Bank Cricket Club occupying the top two positions on the points table, both remaining unbeaten in their initial four matches. The tournament resumed after a prolonged stall due to disputes between clubs and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). Notably, Zakir Hasan has made headlines with his century, while Prime Bank's Shahadat Hossain has consistently performed, scoring three fifties in the first four games. Al Islam, with his mystery spin, has emerged as the leading bowler, claiming 15 wickets, including a hat-trick against Gazi Group Cricketers. The competition is set to run until June, with the absence of the usual Super League format, and the bottom two teams facing relegation to the First Division League. Defending champions Abahani struggled initially, losing their first two matches but have since recovered with two victories. Meanwhile, Rupganj Tigers remain winless, highlighting the competitive nature of this season's DPL.
