Warriors won this match twice. First against RhinoZ, and second against our own restrictive mindset. Chasing 197 against any team is never easy, but we handled it like pros. In fact, this is the highest successful run chase ever for Warriors in T20 cricket.

After winning the toss, Rhinoz chose to bat first. They started aggressively with a over boundary in the very first ball and kept the scoreboard ticking throughout the innings. One thing that stood out was their running between the wickets. They scored 70+ runs through strike rotation, which showed how active and smart they were on the crease.

But regardless, Warriors' batting response was full of intent from ball one, with one belief in mind: we can do this.

18 runs in the first over
75 in the Powerplay
109 after 10 overs
151 after 15 overs
And 200 reached in just 18.4 overs

Iftekhar and Pushkar batted with pure class. They completely outplayed Joseph and Syed, who were their key bowlers. Then came the real middle order cameo from Rivu and Sojib, whose 52 (28) run partnership carried forward the momentum created by Iftekhar and Pushkar’s brilliant 90 (50) run opening partnership.

The equation of 46 runs in 5 overs quickly became 29 from 4 overs after Rabiul smashed 17 runs in the 16th over. Rabiul and Farhad built a crucial 49(24) run partnership to finish the job comfortably.

Our net run rate has consistently stayed above Rhinoz, and the best part - not a single player scored a fifty. Warriors has never been a one man show. When everyone contributes and plays to their potential, we always walk away with glory.

Now all focus shifts to the last group round match against table topper and last year's champions BD Stars Canberra.

The Shadhinota Cup Canberra 2026 journey for Warriors is right on track. Back-to-back 200+ scores and consecutive wins have pushed the team into the top four after Round 5.

However, the job is far from done. With the way teams are performing this season, nobody can afford to relax. Every match is crucial in this tightly contested tournament.

Canberra Conquerors almost snatched the glory from Warriors in the last match. Chasing a massive target of 204, they pushed Warriors all the way before being stopped at 190/6. What a game the boys witnessed yesterday.

Both Khurram and Iftekhar delivered outstanding performances with both bat and ball, but Khurram’s all-round show was simply spectacular and earned him the Player of the Match award.

Two more rounds to go, and the next challenge awaits against RhinoZ.

Bangla Warriors’ Shadhinota Cup Canberra 2026 journey is still on the right track. The last four match results tell the story:

W • L • W • L

Warriors started the tournament with a major setback against Canberra Cricket Academy, then bounced back strongly against Untitled Canberra. Another tough loss came against Tiger SC, but the team responded brilliantly with a win over Kacchi Boys Canberra.

With three matches remaining in the race for the knockouts, Warriors will now face Canberra Conquerors, Rhinoz, and BD Stars Canberra.

Khurram Shahzad and Iftekhar Qureshi were awarded Player of the Match against Untitled Canberra and Kacchi Boys Canberra respectively.

Let’s go Warriors.

Thanks to Khurram Shehzad for leading the charge at death and lifting Warriors against Untitled Canberra.

Thank you to the rest of the warriors for accompanying Khurram on the ground.

Let’s bring the same energy and go hard today against Tigers SC.

There’s nothing constant in cricket. Same team, same venue, but completely different results. A 65-run loss in the first match followed by a 10-run win in the second shows how quickly things can change.

On our day, Warriors are capable of beating any team.

Player of the Match: Rabiul Islam for his 4/29 off 4 overs

A great practice session with the boys. There was some excellent display of both bowling and batting skills, and the conversations made the evening even more enjoyable.

Thanks to Simam and Joseph for joining the Warriors in today’s indoor net session.

Lets go Rabiul, Bring it home.. We know you can do it for Warriors..

Bangla Warriors Canberra will be led by 𝐑𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐮𝐥 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐦. A well-known figure in the Canberra community, Rabiul has built a strong reputation through his involvement in both cricket, soccer and other community events.

He led Bangla Warriors across all formats over the past two seasons, and this tournament will mark his final spell as captain. As one of the founding members, he has played a key role in shaping the team’s identity and progress. Under his leadership, the Warriors have grown significantly, highlighted by their CricFest 2025 premiership victory.

Wishing Rabiul all the best for his Shadhinota Cup Canberra 2026 campaign.

Shariful Islam Sojib is one of the pioneering members of the Warriors squad, known for his ability to turn the impossible into possible. Last season, he delivered an outstanding performance with the ball, taking 32 wickets in Grade 5. This year, he has stepped up in Grade 2 and is among the team’s top four run scorers, while continuing to contribute effectively with the ball whenever required. One of his standout moments came when he took 3 wickets for just 1 run while defending a modest total of 169.

Sojib does not need external motivation, he is a source of motivation for the entire team. His positive attitude, sense of humour, and strong team spirit make him a valuable asset.

Looking forward to seeing more of your explosive batting in the Shadhinota Cup Canberra 2026.
