The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is one of the most popular domestic T20 tournaments. It is a round-robin format with each team playing the other twice. The top four teams on the points table make it to the BPL playoffs.
This year’s tournament has been exciting so far. We saw several high-scoring games and some amazing performances. However, we will only get 4 teams for the BPL playoffs. So, here are our predictions of 4 teams that can make it to BPL 2023 playoff .
Top 4 Teams To Make It To Playoffs Of BPL 2023 Playoff
Sylhet Strikers
The strikers have won 5 matches and have lost just 1. So, they have the highest points and a good net run rate. That is why Sylhet Strikers are sitting at the top of the points table. Their batting and bowling units are both strong, and it looks hard to beat them.
Sylhet Strikers may also be the first team to qualify for BPL 2023 playoff. But they should keep on doing what they did so far in BPL. Mashrafe Mortaza has led the Strikers team well and they might win BPL 2023.
Fortune Barishal
Shakib-Al-Hasan’s Barishal is right behind Strikers in the points table. Even they have won 5 matches and lost just 1 game so far. So the Strikers and Barishal have 10 points each. However, the net run rate of the Strikers is better so they are at the top.
The Fortune Barishal has played really well in their recent games. If they continue to play well, the qualification status is well within their reach. However, It would a tough battle between Strikers and Barishal for the number 1 spot in BPL 2023.
Comilla Victorians
The defending champions Comilla Victorians are still in the race for the BPL Playoffs. They have won 3 games and lost 3 games. It will be interesting to see how they play their next matches. It has been a season full of ups and downs for the Victorians.
The Captain of the Victorians, Imrul Kayes needs to take responsibility. Khulna Tigers and Rangpur Riders are not far behind them. If Victorians lose a few matches they might be out of the race for playoffs.
The top 2 teams on the table have a slight advantage. They get one extra match if they lose the first one. So, teams will look to finish in the top 2. However, they must look to secure their place in the top 4 first. Currently, Fortune Barishal and Sylhet Strikers look like top contenders for that position.
Khulna Tigers
Tiger has played one match less than other teams. So they have one more match in their hand. But it will be against Rangpur Riders. So whoever will win that match can be number 4 or 3 in the points table. However, it won’t be that easy to cement the place in the top 4.
The contest is going to really interesting between the Tigers, Riders, and Victorians this season. Among the 3 teams, only 2 teams can qualify for the BPL 2023 Playoff. So they must put their best foot forward and look to win all the remaining matches.
Scenario For Other Teams For BPL 2023 Playoff
Rangpur Riders
Riders are still very much in the race for BPL Playoffs. Currently, they are at the number 5 position, but tables can turn very quickly. This team has some best T20 players in the world on their side. So they can expect a good comeback in the tournament.
Chattogram Challengers And Dhaka Dominators
It is going to be really a tough task for both teams from here. They are at the bottom of the table and played really poorly in the previous matches.
They might spoil the party of a few teams. But it will take something special from both teams to qualify for the BPL 2023 Playoff. However, they still have a chance but they need lots of things to go on their way. So the shutter of the BPL 2023 Playoff is shut for them.
