And only two matches, after that the curtain will come down on the ninth season of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). One of the remaining two matches of this year's BPL will be held today (February 14) at the Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium.

Where Mashrafe Bin Mortaza and Nurul Hasan Sohan's Rangpur Riders are facing in the second qualifier match. In the unwritten semi-final of BPL today, both teams have a chance to reach the final.

Sylhet and Rangpur had two different results on the first day of the playoffs on February 12. Sohan's team won the eliminator match against Fortune Barisal and qualified for the qualifiers. In the other match, Sylhet lost the first qualifier against Comilla Victorians.

Comilla became the first team to reach the final on the same day. The team is fighting for the title for the fourth time. On the other hand, Sylhet has a chance to win the BPL title for the first time. Rangpur has a chance to reach the final for the second time.

After eight seasons of BPL, Rangpur is ahead of Sylhet in terms of success. The team won the first title in 2017 by defeating Dhaka Dynamites. Of course, the current captain of Sylhet, Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, was the captain of Rangpur in that event.

On the other hand, Sylhet has always been one of the weakest teams in the BPL. Sylhet franchise has changed its image under the leadership of Mashrafe in this season. For the first time, the team managed to retain the top position in the group stage of BPL. This time, Mashrafe is in front of the unwritten semi-final.

Both the teams are entering the field with a strong XI in this match. Both the Rangpur-Sylhet teams performed well throughout the tournament. In addition to this, both teams have brought famous foreign star cricketers to the BPL stage for the finals.

On the day of the unwritten semi-final, eyes will be on Sylhet's Touhid Hriday, Zakir Hasan, Nazmul Hossain Shanto. Local cricket captain Sohan, Shamim Patwari or Roni Talukdar can win Rangpur match.

Of course, at the end of the day, T20 cricket is a fixed day game. At the end of the day, the team that plays well will be the finalist against Comilla. Who will have the last laugh in the race to become a finalist will be known today at 6:30 PM on the stage of the Home of Cricket in Mirpur.
