Final Spot for Playoffs in 2025 BPL Up for Grabs: Crucial Matches Ahead

In the 2025 Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), one final playoff spot remains up for grabs, and it will be decided between Khulna Tigers and Durbar Rajshahi. While both teams have already played their remaining matches, Rajshahi is hoping for a win from Dhaka Capitals against Khulna to keep their hopes alive. For Khulna, they have no option but to win in their final match to secure their spot in the playoffs.

The second match of the day on February 1 will be highly significant for Chittagong Kings, who face table-toppers Fortune Barishal. If Chittagong manages to defeat Barishal, they will secure a place in the first qualifier and move to the top two spots, leaving Rangpur Riders to settle for third place.

Among the seven teams in this year’s BPL, the top four will make it to the playoffs. It has already been confirmed that Sylhet Strikers and Dhaka Capitals will not make it, leaving the final playoff spots to be contested by Khulna Tigers and Durbar Rajshahi.

If Chittagong Kings can beat Fortune Barishal in their next match, they will move to the second spot on the points table, while Rangpur Riders will fall to third place. This would make the race to the playoffs even more exciting.

In the final match of the group stage on February 1, Dhaka Capitals will face a team already knocked out, while Khulna will play a must-win match against them. Chittagong will aim to defeat Fortune Barishal in the second match of the day to secure a place in the top two.

Durbar Rajshahi, having played all 12 of their group-stage matches and accumulated 12 points, will now have to wait for Khulna's defeat in their final match to have a chance at the playoffs. However, Khulna, with 10 points from 11 matches, will secure a playoff spot if they win their final match, thanks to a better net run rate.

Chittagong Kings, with 14 points from 11 matches, are currently in third place. They are closely trailing Rangpur Riders, and if they manage to defeat Fortune Barishal, they will secure a spot in the top two. This would push Rangpur to third place with 12 points.

The stage is set for an exciting conclusion to the BPL group stage, with crucial matches remaining for Khulna, Rajshahi, and Chittagong in their quest for the playoffs.
