Beximco Dhaka will take on Minister Rajshahi in the opening game of the Bangabandhu T20 Cup on November 24, Bangladesh Cricket Board announced fixture of the competition on Saturday.
In the other match of the day, Gemcon Khulna will take on Fortune Barishal at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium under the flood light.
The tournament that will feature five leading corporate houses of the country will have the final on December 18.
The teams namely Fortune Barishal, Beximco Dhaka, Minister Group Rajshahi, Gemcon Khulna and Gazi Group Chattogram, will take part in the competition.
The T20 tournament will be the second competition to be organized by BCB after the emergence of the pandemic. A three-team 50-over competition was recently held, with cricketers and members of the team management placed in a bio-bubble. BCB, meanwhile, is not convinced about hosting the remaining part of Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League (DPL) which is considered to be a major source of income for the majority of cricketers in Bangladesh.
The DPL came to an abrupt halt in March after completion of the first round of the tournament. The players involved in it were hoping for some sort of a roadmap to resume cricket and the upcoming domestic T20 tournament is a step in that direction taken by BCB.
