The group phase of the T20 tournament of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) for the 2016-17 season will end today.
Only one team, Dhaka Dynamites, confirmed the berths of the high-profile top-four clash of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) before filing the report while Chittagong Vikings and Rajshahi Kings match was going on.
If Kings could win the match against Vikings, the last day’s matches will then be vital to determine the rest three places of the top-four phase. The new equation will be made because four teams will then have the identical numbers of 12 points on the points table. The remaining three among them will be progressed into the next four-team competition.
In the day’s first match, defending champions Comilla Victorians will face-off Rangpur Riders at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS) at 1:00pm. This will be dead rubber for Victorians.
Rangpur Riders’ victory against Barisal Bulls in the last match confirmed the derailment of Comilla Victorians along with Bulls from the next phase competition.
Riders on the other hand placed third on the points table with 12 points by winning the last match. Table-topper Dhaka Dynamites (16) and Chittagong Vikings (12) are now above them. Today if they could win against Comilla Victorians, it will then help them improve or consolidate their position on the points table for the four-team clash.
In second match, Dhaka Dynamites will play against Khulna Titans at the same ground at 5:45pm. Dynamites already confirmed their berth of the next slot. If they could win the match then their position will be consolidated further on points table. But if they lose the match, there will then be no problem for them. They will remain on pole position. On the other hand, if Titans could win the match, in that case, the victory will help them promote or consolidate their position.
