After winning the toss, Rupali Bank invited Indira Road KC to bat first but the latter wrapped up for a paltry 38 in 34.3 overs. Though Neelam Bisht, foreign recruit of Rupali Bank, wrecked the main damage of Indira Road, Sathira Jakir Jessi started its proceedings and finished the havoc.

On the other hand, Khelaghar Samaj Kallyan Samity trounced Gulshan Youth Club by six wickets as per the DLS at BKSP-4, the match reduced to a 39-over affair due to the rains.
