Fortune Barishal are on a roll in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2025 and are one of the favourites to win the title. The defending champions are sparkling with rhythm and rhyme and would be one of the top contenders to lift the title.
Tamim Iqbal’s Barishal side have already advanced to the finals after beating Chittagong Kings in Qualifier 1 and are looking like a balanced side. With just the final frontier remaining, Fortune Barishal would be quite confident of getting over the line, this time around.
The finals of BPL 2025 will be contested on 7th February 2025 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka. It is slated to kickstart from 6:30 PM (IST).
In this article, we take a look at 3 reasons why Fortune Barishal might win the BPL 2025 tournament:
1. Fortune Barishal are the defending champions
Fortune Barishal are playing their 2nd consecutive BPL finals and this is a testament to their incredible cricketing prowess and consistency. Last year, they had beaten Comilla Victorians in the finals and had won their maiden title.
As they are brimming with consistency and know how to tackle the high-pressure and high-octane situations, they would be confident of completing a 2nd consecutive victory in this season.
2. Presence of international stars
Fortune Barishal’s team is filled with international stars such as Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah, Dawid Malan, Mohammad Nabi, Towhid Hridoy and Mushfiqur Rahim. All these cricketers have achieved a lot of success at the international level and have plied their trades in T20 leagues across the world.
Their batting order runs deep and they have some exceptional bowlers as well and this sends shivers down the spines of the opposition players.
3. They are in good form
Fortune Barishal had finished at the top of the BPL 2025 points table and would be extremely confident of a victory in the finals. Tamim Iqbal and co. then steamrolled past Chittagong Kings in Qualifier 1 on 3rd February 2025 and are looking in good touch.
Tamim Iqbal and Dawid Malan have mustered 359 and 315 runs respectively in BPL 2025 and Faheem Ashraf has bagged 20 wickets in BPL 2025. These are top performers of Fortune Barishal and can help the side lift their 2nd consecutive BPL title.
