The 41st match of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League will be played between Dhaka Capitals and Khulna Tigers. While the Capitals cannot qualify for the playoffs as they have only six points, a win for the Tigers will help them jump to fourth position in the points table as they have a better NRR than Durbar Rajshahi.
However, a win for the Capitals will not only stop Tigers from qualifying but also help Rajshahi to qualify for the playoffs. Notably, the Dhaka vs Khulna contest is the second last match of the league stage. The tournament has reached its business end and the next week will mark its end.
