BPL returns after 5-day break

JB Bangladesh Premier League resumes today at the Bangabandhu National Stadium after a five-day break following Victory Day programme as well as national athletics championship at the country's premier sports venue.

Sheikh Russel will take on Arambagh KS in the day's first match before holders Sheikh Jamal DC and Mohammedan SC lock horns under the floodlights.

The tie between Sheikh Russel and Arambagh is important for both sides in regards to the standing of the 10-team table as Sheikh Russel are in seventh position with 24 points from 20 outings while newcomers Arambagh are a place behind with 23 points.

However, the second match is crucial for Mohammedan, who are in relegation threat with only 18 points from 20 matches. The Black and Whites are only one point above second-from-bottom Uttar Baridhara and three points clear of bottom-of-the-table Feni Soccer.
