Abahani Limited (AL) will lock horns with Brothers Union (BU) in match 17 of the Dhaka Premier League T20 tournament on June 5 (Saturday) at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Dhaka.
Led by Mushfiqur Rahim, AL are one of the front-runners to win the Dhaka Premier League. They have won both their games and currently placed second in the points table. The presence of Mushfiqur and Mosaddek Hossain in the middle-order makes them a potent side. Abahani Limited will head into the upcoming encounter on the back of a 22-run win over Old Dohs Sports Club.
On the other hand, BU have won one out of their two matches, while the other was abandoned due to rain. They defeated Legends of Rupganj by eight wickets in their last game and are currently fifth in the Dhaka Premier League T20 standings.
