PHOTOS: FORTUNE BARISHAL/RANGPUR RIDERS

Fortune Barishal skipper Tamim Iqbal (left) seemed focused in their practice session in Mirpur yesterday as the defending champions, who finished top of the standings in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) league phase, will be looking to make it into their third final when they take on Chittagong Kings in the Qualifier 1 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium today. Meanwhile, allrounder Mohammad Saifuddin and opener Soumya Sarkar will try to help Rangpur Riders, who lost their last four games following a brilliant start in the tournament, bounce back to winning ways as they face Khulna Tigers in the Eliminator earlier in the day at the same venue. The losers of Qualifier 1, however, will have another chance to make it into the all-important final on Friday as they will be taking on the winners of Eliminator in Qualifier 2 next Wednesday.
