In a bid to keep up their absolute dominance, a red-hot favourite Bangladesh Blue will take on Bangladesh Green in the final of the Bangabandhu 9th Bangladesh Games today at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
The match starts at 9.30 AM. In a tournament that saw each team competing each other once, Blue showed a wavering resolve in both batting and bowling as they crushed Green and Bangladesh red, the other team of the event, comprehensively.
Initially cricket made a debut here with women’s cricket. The format was supposed to be T20 but the BCB turned it to a 50-over format by discussing with the BOA. The BCB basically has taken this Bangladesh Games as a preparation platform for the upcoming one-day series against South Africa Emerging Women team against whom the Bangladesh Emerging Women team will playa five-match one-day series. The South Africa Women will land in Bangladesh on March 28 and after undergoing Covid-19 test twice, the series will roll onto the ground on April 4.
All of the matches will be held at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Since the Bangladesh Games originally will begin on April 1, coinciding the Women’s series, the cricket discipline was organized earlier. The BCB formed these three teams for the Games with the players of Bangladesh national team and Under-19 team.
