Fortune Barishal sealed their tickets to the final of the Bangabandhu Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) after beating Comilla Victorians by 10 runs on Monday. Top stars justified their billing even as new talent emerged as the tournament reached its business end.

1. Shakib Al Hasan (Fortune Barishal)

Fortune Barishal’s skipper had a slow start to the season, but he came good when it mattered the most, leading his side to the top of the league. Shakib is in the top-5 among the leading run-scorers and wicket-takers this season. Add to that the five back-to-back man of the match awards, makes him a strong contender to win the Player of the Tournament award. Barishal have gone unbeaten in their previous six matches and would be favorites to win the competition.

2. Will Jacks (Chattogram Challengers)

One of the better talents to emerge in the eighth edition of BPL was uncapped Englishman, Will Jacks. The 23-year old sits second in the top run-scorers list and has taken the bulk of responsibility in taking Chattogram Challengers to the Qualifier 2 scoring 398 runs at 44.22. With his compatriot, Benny Howell, Jacks has formed a formidable partnership and the English duo have shown immense capabilities to bring Chattogram Challengers their first title.

3. Faf du Plessis (Comilla Victorians)

One of the top T20 players in the world, Faf du Plessis has been shouldering Comilla Victorians’ run this season. Recently, Faf smashed a 52-ball in their encounter against Khulna Tigers raising his and his team’s stakes at the same time. If Comilla have to go past Chattogram, Faf will hold the key.

4. Dwayne Bravo (Fortune Barishal)

A premier all-rounder, Dwyane Bravo is currently the joint-highest wicket-taker this season. Bravo has played a crucial role alongside skipper Shakib-al-Hasan to fuel Fortune Barishal’s charge to the finals and their presence makes the team a favourite to win.
