Four out of the six clubs that have qualified for the Super League were always strongly placed: the top four - Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club, Abahani Limited, Legends of Rupganj and Prime Bank Cricket Club - were around the top four for most of the league's first phase.
Only the star-studded Mohammedan Sporting Club had to make a late move, winning their last six games on the trot to make it to the Super League. Gazi Group Cricketers also made it to the final stage by finishing in sixth place. They won three out of their last four games.
Mohammad Naim became the fastest to 700 runs in a DPL season, completing the feat in ten games. But Naim and Anamul Haque, the Abahani openers who are the top-two run-scorers in the competition with 719 and 644 runs respectively, had an off week. Instead, the spotlight was on Habibur Rahman Sohan after he hit a quick century. He struck 14 fours and six sixes in that innings of 101 in 66 balls for Gazi Group against Shinepukur Cricket Club.
Umar Amin, Mehedi Maruf, Mahidul Islam Ankon, Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Nasir Hossain also struck centuries during this week.
Abahani legspinner Rishad Hossain was the performer of the week. He took 4 for 29 against City Club, his best bowling figures in a competitive white-ball match. It was also his first DPL match this season, and came after he made his T20I debut for Bangladesh last month. It was also the best bowling figures by a legspinner in the DPL since Alok Kapali's five-for in 2016.
Ebadot Hossain took a four-wicket haul for Sheikh Jamal against Prime Bank predominantly using the short ball. Robiul Haque, who is tied with Parvez Rasool at 23 wickets at the top of the wicket-takers' chart, and Enamul Haque also took four-fors this week.
Legends of Rupganj allrounder Chirag Jani bowled an excellent final over to help his side prevail by one run against Dhaka Leopards. Leopards needed seven runs to win in the last over, before it became two off the last ball. Jani first attempted to run Umar Amin out at the non-striker's end but the batter wasn't out of his crease. He came back and bowled a short ball that Suhrawardi Shuvo could only bunt to short midwicket. The substitute fielder Ashiqul Alam ran to the non-striker's end to beat Shuvo to the crease, to run him out.
