Fate of DPL mostly rely on this match today
Sports Reporter
The crucial fourth round matches of the Super League in Dhaka Premier League (DPL) will resume at the three different grounds in Dhaka and its adjacent areas today after one day break.
The match between Abahani Limited and Legends of Rupganj is more important amongst three matches as this match virtually would be turned to be the league deciding match, which will be played at the Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Prothisthan (BKSP) Ground-3 in Savar.
In the other matches, Prime Bank Cricket Club will take on Mohammedan Sports Club at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, while Victoria Sporting Club will face-off Prime Doleshwar Sporting Club at the Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium in Fatullah.
All the matches will begin at 9:00am simultaneously.
Legends of Rupganj, who is dominating the points table, notched 20 points from 14 outings so far. Abahani Limited on the other hand is languishing at second with 18 points from 13-match road strings.
If Legends can win the match then they have to wait for the next matches of the Abahani to determine the league champions as the Sky-Blues still have two more matches in hands.
After tomorrows match against Legends, Dhanmondi-based club will next face Prime Bank Cricket Club. Therefore, they will have the undecided match against Prime Doleshwar Sporting Club ahead. BCB president Nazmul Hassan Papon meanwhile formed a committee and asked them to submit reports within 72 hours.
If Abahani can win the match, they will then be champion for the 2016 season. But if they loss the match to Legends, then they have to wait for the results of the next matches. If they can win straight matches they will then get the identical number of points.
In that aspect, both the teams have to rely on the rules of the league. The most winning record will first be counted to determine the league champions and then head to head record.
