Watch Bangladesh Premier League Final Live Online: Streaming, Comilla Victorians Vs. Barisal Bulls
The 2015 Bangladesh Premier League Final is here, and cricket fans can watch live online as the Comilla Victorians and Barisal Bulls battle for the championship of the T20 tournament, wrapping up the third season of the league that has featured numerous close games as well as plenty of controversy over a variety of issues from the quality of pitches to the timely payment of players.
All of the bumps in the road will likely be forgotten once the match to decide a new BPL champ — a match that promises to be a closely contested affair dominated by the bowlers, but one that could easily go down to the final over before a winner becomes clear — gets underway on Tuesday evening at Shere-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka.
Comilla is led by 32-year-old Bangladesh ODI Captain Mashrafe Mortaza, who also captained the former Dhaka Gladiators to the BPL title in the league’s first two seasons. This time the pacer is fighting through a hamstring tear, and though he will be in the XI on Tuesday, he may not be able to be able to bowl at all.
Though he has played in all 11 Victorians matches in the 2015 Bangladesh Premier League, Mortaza has managed to complete only 26.2 overs. The veteran says that the T20 format is determined by team play, not by individual performances.
“Twenty20 doesn’t not matter because of the cricketers you have, but matters how you are doing as a team in the field. The approach of the team is vital in this format,” Mashrafe told The Dhaka Tribune on Monday. “I have tried my best but there was pressure on me to be honest with you. But it will be wrong if I say that I have done everything, a team can never work that way. All the members of the team – coach, manager, players, management have done their part sincerely and that is why we have the result.”
