Mustafizur Rahman is playing for Bangladesh in the Asia Cup 2025, and on Saturday, September 20, during his team\u2019s first Super 4s match against Sri Lanka, he picked up 3 wickets for 20 runs in four overs. The three-wicket show in the match taking place at Dubai International Cricket Stadium helped Rahman equal Shakib Al Hasan\u2019s record of most wickets for Bangladesh in the 20-over format of the game.<\/p>\n

Shakib played 129 T20Is for Bangladesh from 2006 to 2024 and dismissed 149 batters. On the other hand, Rahman has 149 wickets to his credit in 117 matches.<\/p>\n

Rahman opened his wicket account on Saturday by dismissing Kusal Perera on the fourth ball of the 14th over. Perera was caught behind by Bangladesh\u2019s T20I captain and wicketkeeper Litton Das after adding 16 runs to his team\u2019s total.<\/p>\n

On the fourth ball of his last over of the match, Rahman dismissed Kamindu Mendis. Mendis was caught by Litton after scoring 1 run from 2 balls. Wanindu Hasaranga scored two runs on the next ball, but on the last one, in an attempt to hit a six, he was caught by Tanzid Hasan near the boundary ropes.<\/p>\n

In Bangladesh\u2019s next Super 4s match, which is set to take place against India in Dubai on Wednesday, September 24, Rahman will have a chance to become Bangladesh\u2019s highest wicket-taker in T20Is. One wicket in the next two matches for Bangladesh will also help him become the first Bangladeshi to dismiss 150 batters in T20Is.<\/p>\n

As of now, only three bowlers \u2013 Rashid Khan of Afghanistan, Tim Southee of New Zealand and his teammate Ish Sodhi \u2013 have picked up 150+ wickets in T20Is.<\/p>\n
