The 2016 Bangladesh Premier League T20 cricket tournament is down to just two teams, with the two-time champion Dhaka Dynamites facing first-year franchise Rajshahi Kings in the championship final — a match that will live stream from Dhaka on Friday, and will be viewable right here on this page.
Dhaka won the 2012 and 2013 BPL titles when the franchise was still called the Dhaka Gladiators. After the second edition of the high-glamor cricket competition, the league took a yearlong hiatus and the Gladiators were dissolved. But in the 2015 season, the team was reconstituted at the Dynamites, and year later they are back in the BPL final after finishing the 12-match season on top of the table, winning eight matches against just four losses.
But half of the four-loss total came against Rajshahi Kings, who finished in fourth place at 6-6 and are captained by former West Indies star Darren Sammy.
Sammy will be looking for his second T20 tournament championship as a captain in 2016. Sammy also led the West Indies to the T20 World Cup championship earlier this year in India.
“We have won two times against Dhaka. We will have to do it again,” the 32-year-old Saint Lucia native Sammy told The Dhaka Tribune newspaper on Thursday. “Cricket is about how you play in the field. History has nothing to do with it.”
