Dhaka to lock horns with Comilla in crucial BPL match

Formidable Dhaka Dynamites will be playing against tournament favourite Comilla Victorians in a crucial match in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) in Mirpur’s Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium this noon.

The match kicks-off at 2pm.

The Dynamites, led by all-rounder Shakib-AL-Hasan, will be looking for a victory to seal a place for the playoffs while Comilla Victorians, led by left-handed top order batter Imrul Kayes, want to keep their winning momentum as they had already secured a place in the most exciting part of the tournament.

However, Rajshahi Kings’ fate is now hanging in the air as they had finished their quota of 12 matches and grabbed 12 points while Dhaka played 10 matches and collected 10 points.

Now the situation is like that, Dhaka have two matches. If they win both matches, they will automatically move to the play offs. Whether they lose both games, they will be eliminated from the money-spinning tournament. But the equation is not over here, if Dhaka win one game, then they will overcome the Kings due to net run rate.

Dhaka face the Titans, who were eliminated from the tournament, on Saturday.
