4th BPL T20 opener abandoned

The opening match of the 4th Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) T20 Cricket between Rajshahi Kings and Comilla Victorians at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur has been abandoned without a ball being bowled due to continuous rain on Friday.

The match officials took the decision after re-inspecting the field at 4:50 pm.

After the inspection at 4:10 pm, the match officials decided the cut off time for a curtailed five-over-a-side game to start it at 5:16 pm which was originally scheduled to start at 2:30 pm.

After the ill-fated match, both the team shared one point each.

Rajshahi Kings captain Darren Sammy won the toss and sent Mashrafe Bin Mortaza-led defending champion Comilla Victorians to bat first in the match.

However, another opening day's match between Rangpur Riders and Khulna Titans, at the same venue scheduled to start at 7:15 pm is also facing threat of delay or be abandoned as the rain here continued.
