Last season, Taskin had set the benchmark with 25 wickets in 12 matches for Durbar Rajshahi, eclipsing Shakib Al Hasan's long-standing record of 23 wickets in the 2018-19 season. Less than a year later, that mark has been overtaken.

Shoriful went wicketless in only one match this season, that came against Rangpur in Sylhet, where he conceded 16 runs in two overs.

He then embarked on a remarkable run, taking wickets consistently, including a stunning spell of 5 for 9 in 3.5 overs against Noakhali Express in Mirpur, the best bowling figures of his recognised T20 career.
