Fortune Barishal's captain, Tamim Iqbal, won the toss at the Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium ahead of the BPL final. Tamim decided to put Chittagong Kings to bat first. This marks the third meeting between the two teams this season. Barishal won the first group match, while Chittagong triumphed in the second. However, Barishal emerged victorious in Qualifier 1, securing their spot in the final.
Chittagong Kings have made one change to their squad for the final. Alis Al Islam, the hero of Chittagong's thrilling victory with a last-ball boundary, has been ruled out due to injury. The experienced Naeem Islam has replaced the spinner.
Chittagong Kings XI: Khawaja Nafay, Parvez Hossain Emon, Graham Clark, Hussain Talat, Shamim Hossain, Mohammad Mithun (captain and wicketkeeper), Syed Khaled Ahmed, Arafat Sunny, Naeem Islam, Shoriful Islam, Binura Fernando.
Despite bringing in New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham, Fortune Barishal decided not to change their winning combination. They are sticking with the same XI that played in the first qualifier.
Fortune Barishal XI: Tamim Iqbal (captain), Towhid Hridoy, Dawid Malan, Mushfiqur Rahim (wicketkeeper), Mahmudullah, Kyle Mayers, Mohammad Nabi, Rishad Hossain, Ebadot Hossain, Tanvir Islam, Mohammad Ali.
