BPL 2019 Schedule: Download PDF file of BPL 2019 Timetable

The sixth edition of the Bangladesh Premier League is set to get underway tomorrow (5th Jaunary) and all seven teams in the competition would have finished all their preparations going into the tournament.

The 2018-19 edition would have got underway on October 1 last year but due to the General Elections in the country, it has been pushed to January 5 with the final taking place on February 8. Because of the delayed start, the tournament will be missing a few star players as there are a few T20 franchise-based leagues and international fixtures going on at the same time.

However, the tournament will have the presence of some of the top cricketers in the world including the likes of Chris Gayle, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shahid Afridi, Sandeep Lamichhane etc. The players who are already busy with international and BBL commitments will join their respective BPL sides soon. The tournament will also feature David Warner and Steve Smith as the banned Aussie players will be playing to get ready for their international return, which is just over two months away.

The format of the 2018-19 BPL will be similar to the Indian Premier League as all the seven teams will be contesting in a round-robin league where each side will be playing against every other team just once, unlike twice in the IPL. After the end of the league stage, the top four teams will contest in the playoffs to decide the winner. The top two teams will play the first qualifier and the winner will get a direct entry to the final. The loser of the match will take on the winner of the eliminator (third vs fourth) in the second qualifier and the winner will qualify for the final.

The league will take place in five phases across three different cities. Phase 1 will be played in Dhaka while Phase 2, phase 3, phase 4 and phase 5 will be taking place in Sylhet, Dhaka, Chittagong and Dhaka respectively.
