The fight in the Bangladesh Premier League "BPL" is going on. Three-quarters of the group stage has already been held. Almost every team has played against each other in nine matches. After the Dhaka and Sylhet phases, the Chittagong phase is going on. The teams are facing each other at the MA Aziz International Cricket Stadium in Chittagong. Due to that, the teams are still on the field. After the match between Fortune Barisal and the great Dhaka in the first match, now the game of Comilla Victorians vs Khulna Tigers is underway!
Rangpur Riders are the team at the highest position in the points table after nine matches. The Rangpur team, full of local and foreign stars, has won seven out of nine matches. As a result, Shakib Al Hasan's Rangpur Riders are in the first position in the points table with 14 points from seven wins. The team started their tournament with a loss. After losing the first match, the team tasted defeat in the third match as well. But in the next five games, the team turned around brilliantly. Rangpur Riders led by Nurul Hasan Sohan have won five out of five matches.
Another favorite team of this season Comilla Victorians is in the second position of the points table with six wins from 8 matches. Comilla's team is the champion of the last two seasons. Every time they build the squad with big-name players. This time was no exception! Apart from Mohammad Rizwan, Moeen Ali, and Will Jacks, the team has the best T20 performers in Bangladesh like Mustafizur Rahman, Liton Das, and Touhidoy as native players this season. But Comilla also started the BPL 2024 season with a loss But the team is back to a winning streak pretty well!
Fortune Barisal, led by Tamim Iqbal, is in the third position of the points table. All three of the five Pandavas of Bangladesh are in this group of Barisal. In this season, Barisal has won five matches in nine matches. Fortune Barisal also tasted defeat in their early matches due to bowling failure. But with wins in the last five matches, the team has strengthened their position in the points table.
Chittagong Challengers and Khulna Tigers, who have started the season brilliantly, are in the fourth and fifth position of the points table. Chittagong and Khulna got off to a good start in the Bangladesh Premier League by winning four of their first five matches. But then both parties had to see the opposite side of the coin. Khulna Tigers won four of the first four matches and lost the next four matches. Chittagong Challengers also failed to perform well after winning four out of the first five matches. As a result, it will be very difficult for these two teams to get a place in the top four!
This year's Bangladesh Premier League season is getting worse with two teams at the bottom of the points table, Sylhet Strikers and excellent Dhaka. Sylhet Strikers started the BPL by losing five matches in a row However, the team has won three of their last four matches. Great Dhaka on the other hand started their BPL with a win against Comilla Victorians. But the team lost eight of their next eight matches to become the first team to drop out of the top-four contention!
