The venue and a few fresh faces are the only changes from last season, when Kings came from behind to beat Mohammedan 3-1 in a match that was halted for 10 minutes after flares were thrown onto the Bashundhara Kings Arena pitch.
The one-off Challenge Cup match between Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) champions Mohammedan SC and Federation Cup champions Bashundhara Kings has been deferred by three days and will be held on September 15 instead of the originally scheduled date, September 12.
The tournament is held to prepare the women's team for the upcoming ICC Women's World Cup.
