What a fantastic Tournament Royal Bengal Trophy.

A huge thank you to the organiser (Ahanf Kacchi Boys ) and everyone involved in organising such a wonderful event. It truly felt like a festival for the Bangladeshi cricket community in Canberra.

Proud of our team's effort as we finished Runners-up. Along the way we beat Wolves, Kacchi Boys and ABSC in the group stage, won the semifinal against Rising Stars, and although we fell short in the final, it was a tournament to remember.

Some proud moments for our team:
🏆 Tournament MVP (Akib)
🎯 Joint Best Fielder (Rabiul)
✋ The tournament's only five-wicket haul (Rivu)
💯 One of the tournament's three centuries (Akib)

A big thank you to all our teammates for the effort, teamwork and great memories. Looking forward to the next season already.

Congratulations Md Rabiul Islam for highlighting Bangla Warriors Canberra name on the ladder board.

Well done.

🏏 Congratulations to the Top Performers from the Saturdays Community Cup (Division 1)! 🏆

From breathtaking batting masterclasses and fiery, wicket-taking spells to match-winning all-round brilliance, these stars have lit up the tournament with unforgettable performances. Their consistency, skill, and determination have set the benchmark for excellence and inspired their teams every step of the way.

Join us this Finals Day as we celebrate these outstanding achievers and recognize the players who have made the 2026 Community Cup a season to remember.

A wonderful season end gathering with the Bangla Warriors Canberra family.

It was great catching up with everyone and, for a change, spending more time talking about soccer than cricket.

A farewell to Rivu Shahzad, who is moving to Perth to take the next step in his career. Saying goodbye is never easy, but we're happy to know he's promised to return before 2030. Wishing you all the very best, Rivu, for your future endeavors. The team will certainly miss you a lot.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for dinner and made the evening so enjoyable. Here's another fantastic season together.

Congratulations to Iftekhar Qureshi on being named the Best Batsman of Shadhinota Cup Canberra 2026.

The elegant left-handed batsman finished the tournament with an outstanding 381 runs at an average of 54, a strike rate of 146, and a highest score of 91.

A key player for Bangla Warriors Canberra, Iftekhar led the team's batting and bowling throughout the tournament and also finished 2nd in the MVP standings. His biggest strength, however, is his modesty. Dedicated, hardworking, and team-oriented, he always puts the success of the team ahead of personal milestones.

Beyond his own performances, Iftekhar's cricket knowledge and willingness to support his teammates have played an important role in the development of Bangla Warriors Canberra.

Congratulations once again, Iftekhar Qureshi, on your outstanding tournament.

A special thank you to Sports Legacy for recognising his achievement with a high quality cricket bat. Your support continues to encourage and inspire community cricket.

This year's 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝘂𝗽 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮 journey has once again ended at the semifinal stage, and what a way it ended, with another last-over thriller.

A huge thank you to all the Warriors who were part of this season. Your commitment, effort, and contributions helped us reach the semifinals, and we fought until the very last ball. Because of that, we can hold our heads high and be proud of what we have achieved.

There are still individual highlights to celebrate. As of the semifinal stage, Iftekhar Qureshi is leading both the MVP and Best Batsman leaderboards, a fantastic achievement.

I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to all our overseas players who represented us throughout the tournament. It has been an absolute pleasure playing alongside each of you.

Now it's time to take a well-deserved break for a few weeks before we regroup and prepare for the next tournament.

Thank you, Warriors. The journey continues.

The Warriors batting unit has been in outstanding form, producing several big scores and carrying strong momentum into this contest.

The rivalry between these two teams has been closely contested over the years. In their previous five meetings, BD Stars have won three matches, while Bangla Warriors have claimed victory twice.

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.
