‘Still an exciting match for supporters’

Abahani Limited batsman Mosaddek Hossain Saikat said that the name and fame they have on papers if they could play as per that it’ll really be tough for any team to beat them.

“When I played in Premier League for the first time, it was deemed to me, an extra excitement between Abahani and Mohammedan match was there than other teams,” said Mosaddek Hossain.

“This time I’m going to play the league for the fifth time. So, the matter is mostly normal to me now. The way I would prepare myself in practice I do that at the same intensity,” Saikat told reporters.  

“Against Mohammedan, we’ve to do something extra that’s not right. If we could play our best cricket, we could then beat any team in our day,” he added.   

Abahani is considered pre-tournament favourites for their recruitment what they got from the players draft, the matter that made a big boost of their players. Its effect has been fallen on the team’s result as they are yet to concede defeat any match in the last five-round games. So, the 22-year-old youngster said that it is tough for their opposition to beat them in their day.

“Each team in the league is good. I think our team is somewhat better than other teams. The reputation we have on papers if we could play according to that it’ll then be tough for any team to beat us or register win over us,” the right-handed batsman said.   

“Abahani and Mohammedan both teams have a strong base of supporters. Supporters gathered at the stadium to witness their match. But that trend has gradually decreased,” he said, adding that the organisers duty to look after the matter but that’s not our work rather they should focus on our own work and that will be better for us.

On the other hand, Mohammedan captain Shamsur Rahman Shuvo said that Mohammedan-Abahani match is still an exciting match of its supporters, players and officials though it does not attract more spectators like the past occasions.

“Mohammedan-Abahani match means a high-voltage game. It may be it does not draw much more spectators in the stadium like the past. But it is still an exciting match for their supporters, players and officials,” Shamsur Rahman said.

“My expectation will be so that the match is exciting and competitive what the people and its supports expect,” Shuvo told journalists before their pre-match day practice session.    

Citing Abahani as a well-balanced team, the traditional Black and White team captain said that the tempo they have got from the last three wins if they could maintain it a better result may then emerge.

“They are well-balanced team than us,” Shuvo said, adding: “But we are also playing good cricket. We won three on the trot in our last five matches. Our players are in good stead. I believe if we could continue it then a good result may come out from it.”
