Khulna Tigers have everything to play for when they take on Dhaka Capitals in Miprur on the final day of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League's (BPL) league phase today. Chittagong Kings will also look to unseat Rangpur Riders from the second spot in the day's evening fixture against Fortune Barishal at the same venue.

Buoyed by their win over Rangpur on Thursday, Khulna go into the game against Dhaka knowing that a win would be enough to sneak into the playoffs. Durbar Rajshahi currently hold the fourth position in the standings with 12 points, and a win for Khulna would ensure they are level on points with Rajshahi but with a superior run rate -- helping Khulna make the playoffs.

Khulna have banked on local talents to come this far. Opener Mohammad Naim struck a ton against Rangpur while Hasan Mahmud and Musfik Hasan have turned up with the ball.

"Our local players have been doing well and foreigners have not been able to support us much. [Mahidul Islam] Ankon has been scoring quick runs and Naim got runs from the top along with Afif [Hossain], so, locals are doing well," Khulna skipper Mehedi Hasan Miraz had said before their match against Rangpur, hoping they rectify their mistakes.

Chittagong are on 14 points and ensured playoffs alongside Barishal and Rangpur. However, if they can win against Barishal today, they will be sealing the second spot in the standings courtesy of a superior run rate. A win for Chittagong would significantly shake up the playoff matches as they would then face Barishal in the first qualifier on February 3.

Meanwhile, Rajshahi, who do not have any remaining games, will be eager for Dhaka to cause an upset against Khulna as that would see Rajshahi through to the playoffs.
