In the 34th match of the ninth season of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), Rangpur Riders vs Dhaka Dominators will face each other on Friday evening. Rangpur will then face Sylhet, Chittagong, and Comilla.

Nasir Hossain’s Dhaka Dominators, Tamim Iqbal’s Khulna Tigers, and Chittagong Challengers are looking at these four matches in Rangpur.
If Rangpur wins Friday evening’s match, they will secure a playoff spot along with Sylhet Strikers, Fortune Barisal, and Comilla Victorians.

And if they lose, Dhaka, Chittagong, and Khulna will have the chance to play in the playoffs as the fourth team. Rangpur Riders are staying for this spot.

Khulna Tigers is the sixth team with 2 wins in 9 matches and 4 points. Chittagong Challengers are in seventh position behind net run rate with 4 points in equal matches. Dhaka Dominators have played one more match and collected 6 points from 3 wins. All these three teams have a chance to play in the playoffs as the fourth team.

In that case, Rangpur will have to lose all the matches. And the rest have to win all their matches to keep their chances alive.
But Rangpur can change all the equations. Among the remaining teams in the race for the playoffs, Rangpur Riders already have 10 points. They still have four matches left.

Rangpur will qualify for the playoffs if they win one match. Because none of the remaining teams are likely to get 12 points. As a result, if Rangpur wins on Friday, the matches of the remaining three teams will become unimportant. Then the teams in the top four will fight to retain the best position.
