Bangladesh is a land of cricket lovers. Cricket is not just a game here, It's an emotion of thousands of people. From ninth century, cricket gain more and more popularity in Bangladesh. To give more joy & excitement, Bangladesh cricket Board (BCB) arranged franchise cricket tournament BPL in every year. The Bangladesh Premier league (BPL) is a professional t-20 cricket league like others cricket league (IPL, PSL, BBL) in other countries. This BPL is one of the three professional cricket Leagues in Bangladesh. If I talk about the popularity of this, I want to say, it's the 16th most attended premier league in the world.
The 8th edition is already running. In this edition six teams are fighting each other for the title. Participated six teams are :-
Chattogram Challengers
Cumilla Victorians
Fortune Barishal
Khulna Tigers
Minister Group Dhaka
Sylhet Sunrisers
Who will win BPL Title This year ?
Chance of winning the tile According to current points Table & team strength :-
Currently the situation looks very tight. In that situation its hard to say who can win the title this year; because of every team played well in first few games except Sylhet Sunrisers. Sylhet Sunrisers only won one game in their first four matches. On the other hand Cumilla Victorians, Fortune Barishal, Khulna Tigers, Minister Group Dhaka have same number of points (4) in their hand. Chattogram Challengers is the number one team in points table now with 6 vital points. But, there is an equation, Cumilla played only two matches & they won both of them. That’s is a big advantage for them, because if they can win their next matches they have a chance to go in the top of the points table by playing same matches.
Now, If I have to chose a team by their team strength , Surely I will go for
Firstly : Cumilla Victorians
Secondly : Minister Group Dhaka
They have huge chance of winning the title this year. Because they have some world class players in their squad.
Cumilla’s number one strength point is their foreign players. Victorians have Faf du Plessis, Moen Ali, Sunil Narine. We already know what they can do with both ball and bat. Faf is a world class batter with some excellent skills & Moen Ali is an all-round performer. Recently Chennai Super Kings won the IPL title where Faf & Moen was their key player. Also, Sunil Narine was excellent with Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL last season. On the other hand , They have best Bangladeshi T-20 players like Mustasfizur Rahman, Liton Das & Imrul Kayes.
Minister Group Dhaka have also some world class players in their squad. They have some excellent international players like Andre Russel, Mohammad Shahzad, Isuru Udana. We all know what Russel can do with his bat. Also they have one of the best Bangladeshi players tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah, Mashrafe & Rubel Hossain. In last match Tamim Iqbal scored a brilliant hundred over Sylhet. So they are also favourite to win the title also.
Lastly I want to say, I am supporting Cumilla Victorians . Let me know, which team You are supporting? Also, Who will win BPL Title This year in your opinion?
