Dhaka Dynamites will play their fourth and last match of the first stage of Dhaka phase against reigning champions Comilla Victorians at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS) at 7pm today.
This match was scheduled to play on November 5, just one day after the outset of the BPL but the nation-wide downpours, caused by the deep depression in the Bay of Bengal, forced the BPL governing council to revise the schedule.
Later, they discussed with the franchisees and decided to resume the matches on the consensus of all the franchisees from November 8. Thereafter, they prepared the new schedule with some changes, in where they keep one match on rest day but two matches in the last day of the first phase among the six matches though the day was break for the second phase. Actually three days have been kept in between Dhaka and Chittagong phases as break day.
Both Dynamites and Victorians players spent their times at hotel lobby as they both played matches on Saturday.
Dhaka Dynamites played three matches till now, where they claimed in two matches against Barisal Bulls by eight wickets and Rangpur Riders by 78 runs. They conceded defeat in their second match to Rajshahi Kings by six wickets.
Although the team played two matches they could not find the right combination yet. Victorians captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza several times said that they have good enough players in the side but they could not make the right combination.
He frankly spoke that they have a deficit of pace all-rounder. They don’t know how they will fill up the lacking. In the meantime, Comilla brought in Dutch all-rounder Ryan Ten Doeschate as their new foreign recruit. But he said that local batsmen have to come forward to taking their responsibility more than the overseas players.
