Surely the crowd have to turn up for this one otherwise there will be problems. Dead crowd makes us fans lose interest in the game we want an atmosphere.

Finally someone is thinking alike!

Its no cheap money league and it has to be done properly. And big crowds is vital to make this proper succesfull cause its the fans who make it a success!

[ialbd]

Hmm.... its david vs goliath...

Hopefully RR can put up a fight...

[Habib]

Rangpur should fair against DG better than KRB did in theory. Backing Shakib's team though.

[Maysun]

Rooting for the underdogs and a good performance from Shakib. Come on!

[nadim 98]

Rangpur is no pushover side. They have Nasir and Razzak. Locals player like Kayes,Zunaid, Taposh Goash, Taposh Baisya and Shamsur. And of course O`Brian brothers.

Should be a good match


Edit: I hate autocorrect ffs

[Yasin.]

DG bat first.

[deshimon]

Hope a competitive and high scoring match.

[rinathq]

razzak will be key

[nadim 98]

Taposh Basaiyaaaaaa :D

[Roni_uk]

[nadim 98]

[Habib]

And a brilliant attempt at mid on!

Ashraful 1 off 5 balls

[Habib]

Even during the home team's match, the stadium is empty. The ticket price is still too much?

[Maysun]

Ashraful is trying all weird shots

[revolver]

Sharif+Baisya=Steyn+Philander.

Amen to that

[Maple1900]

Ashraful will learn when he will be Dada of his nati

Ashraful paid RR to have amit kumar in the team

[Habib]

Anamul getting squared up by Baisya.

[deshimon]

Who's this Amit Kumar? Where is he from? Anyone knows?

[Murad]

Taposh last played for national team like 5/6 years ago.

Still looks fitter than most nationals.

[revolver]

Mar ashraful mar

[nadim 98]

[deshimon]

Ashraful is doing well.

[revolver]

Let see if razzak can hold undestructable ash

[Habib]

I prefer high scoring close matches rather than low scoring close matches like the previous match. The pitch is looking good this time.

[Roni_uk]

What does Selim Chowdhury do?

[nadim 98]

Wats the point of taking interview of owners every single game???

[Maysun]

Brings back memories of 04-05 Ashraful. Enjoying this!

[Roni_uk]

so how much does a team cost? I am thinking of buying one :-p

[Habib]

Gunda Nasir to bowl.

[nadim 98]

Bhai amake team e niyen. Age I bole rakhlam;)

[deshimon]

Dhaka Gladiators is playing like champion.

[Maple1900]

Kayes looks like potato

[Spiderman]

Can't believe just how much dew in combination with playing under lights can make a difference to the wicket. Still surprised no Bangladesh batsman has got a 100 in T20 and the way Ashraful is playing, hope its him. Love watching him when he's in form.

[al Furqaan]

At this rate, they should just hand the trophy to the Gladiators.

[Maysun]

Ashraful needs to ditch that anchor style and play like this.

[Maple1900]

2 Vai are on the crease.

[nadim 98]

Poor Sommuya Sarkar. Probably gonna play all the games but not gonna get to bat even once. May get 1/2 in total:(
