Royal Bengal Khulna:
Pakistan National team player, Mohammed Hafeez might join Khulna for the final stage of the tournament.

BPL Update: After all the drama

Okay! Yesterday was the day full of drama, suspense and marathon meetings!! Only one reason was behind all these, that was "TOP 4" spot. Who is going to play semi-finals!! was the question of the day. Durontu Rajshahi booked their ticket to semi-final without any equation game. Other teams had 'if' in their mind. Dhaka Gladiators and Royal Bengal Khulna also booked their place afterwards. Then real drama unfolded. Barisal Burners thought their calculated win against Chittagong Kings within 16 overs will give them a place in top 4. Because, that win placed them in 4th place according to run rate. However, BPL technical committee declared that Chittagong Kings will go in to Semi Finals. According to BPL rules, 
If any two teams has same points after group stage then confirmation will be made bt head to head results of the teams. (The team that has more wins will go through). 


Chittagong Kings has 3 wins against Barisal Burners. In this case Chittagong has got the 4th spot.

ওয়েলকাম ব্যাক মাশরাফি বিন মুর্তজা!

প্রথম ম্যাচে খুলনার বিপক্ষে স্বরূপে ছিলেন না। কিন্তু আজ সিলেট রয়্যালসের বিপক্ষে মিরপুরের শেরেবাংলা স্টেডিয়াম যেন দেখল এক অন্য মাশরাফিকে। সেই পুরোনো ছন্দ, পুরোনো আত্মবিশ্বাস আর সবকিছু জয় করে ফেলার শরীরী ভাষা। প্রতিপক্ষের ব্যাটসম্যানদের বারবার কাঁপিয়ে দেওয়া দুরন্ত সব ডেলিভারি। সব মিলিয়ে মাশরাফি বিন মুর্তজা যেন সবাইকে জানিয়ে গেলেন, সংগ্রামের পালা শেষ। এ দেশের ক্রিকেটে আবার উজাড় করে দিতে আমি ফিরছি।

Day -2 Match Report

Khulna Royal Bengals and Barisal Burners won their respective matches in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) T20 in front of a cheering crowd at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur yesterday.

The tournament finally came to life as the stands finally got the anticipated number of spectators on the second day of the competition where Khulna beat Dhaka Gladiators by 19 runs and Barisal Burners posted their second consecutive victory with a 22-run success against Duronto Rajshahi, who suffered their second defeat in the one-sided affair. It is believed that the reduction in ticket prices and a hurricane hundred from Chris Gayle on the opening day changed the scenario after a frustrating turnout in the opening ceremony and opening day's matches.
Though there was nothing like Gayle's innings on the second day there was no shortage of entertainment in terms of big-hitting display.

Mash to lead Dhaka Gladiator

Bangladesh's one of the most popular player, Pacer, Mashrafi Bin Mortuza has been nominated as the captain of Dhaka Gladiator. He has expressed his gratitudes to Management for the selection. He said, Dhaka has given me so much respect. I just come back from injury and my recent performance was not that great. No other team even didn't bother to call a prize for me, while Dhaka bought me from auction. Again, the management has confidence on my ability. I am really thankful to them. BPL is the right platform for me to come back to national team. I am confident, I will do well.
