The opening matches of Bangladesh Premier League 2016 season’s washed out due to unstoppable rain in Dhaka. First match between defending champions Comilla Victorians vs Rajshahi Kings (a newly formed franchise) was to be played as an opener. But rain’s persistence caused called off and points were shared.
Fans and players were eager to play on day-1, but all hopes went in vain. When second match was also be called off due to rain.
Second match between Khulna Titans (playing first time in BPL) vs Rangpur Riders was to be played at same venue, but that unstoppable rain caused another called off and points were shared between two teams.
Fans were hoping to see some big names in action on day 1, but it wasn’t possible. Now they will be hoping that tomorrow Cricket may be played. Tomorrow we will have two another crackers, when Barisal Bulls will take on Chittagong Vikings and later Comilla Victorians will take on Dhaka Dynamites.
