The Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium premises turned into a sea of red as droves of fans, clad in their favourite team's jersey, showed up to watch the final of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) between Comilla Victorians and Fortune Barishal on Friday.
Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal said that a lot of things need to be right for him to return to the national team.
Comilla stayed true to the formula that had gotten them success earlier in the tournament and seemingly paid the price.
Here is a look at the fans in Mirpur for the final through the lenses The Daily Star’s Firoz Ahmed:

Comilla Victorians’ wicketkeeper-batter Jaker Ali Anik once again showed his ability as a finisher in this year’s Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) yesterday, further strengthening his case for a call up to the Bangladesh Twenty20 squad.
After 40 matches played in the Bangladesh Premier League's (BPL) 10th instalment, with the last day of the group stage fixtures scheduled for today at Mirpur's Sher-e-Bangla National stadium, the intensity of the tournament in terms of the number of competitive matches materialised is an aspect worth scrutinising.
Bangladesh paceman Mustafizur Rahman, who was hospitalised after being hit on the head by a ball during a practice session for his Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) team Comilla Victorians on Sunday in Chattogram, has been moved to his team hotel in Dhaka and is being kept under observation, according to the franchise.

Liton’s innings, which contained seven fours and three sixes, and a 14-ball 23 from Andre Russell were not enough to get Comilla over the line
“I am surprised he is not the head coach for Bangladesh. I am not sure if he’s ever done it but he is one of the best I have worked with. He is definitely in my top five,” Moeen told the media yesterday.
Comilla Victorians and Bangladesh national team pacer Mustafizur Rahman did not suffer any internal damage to his head, confirmed the franchise through a statement.
Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman has been struck on the head during a net session of Comilla Victorians at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram today.
Jaker Ali Anik came to the fore when he smashed three consecutive hundreds in the 2022-23 Bangladesh Cricket League, ending up as the leading run-getter of the tournament. The 25-year-old is one of the handful of local cricketers who have been able to show glimpses in the ongoing and the previous Bangladesh Premier League season for Comilla Victorians. Anik, whose exclusion from the Bangladesh T20 squad for the upcoming Sri Lanka series led to Comilla head coach Mohammad Salahuddin criticising the selection process, spoke about how playing for Bangladesh 'A' team and High-Performance team had helped his game and the way Pakistan’s star wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan had an influence on him along with a few other topics during an interview with Mazhar Uddin of The Daily...
Comilla Victorians all-rounder Moeen Ali rated his side’s head coach Mohammad Salahuddin as the best in Bangladesh and expressed his astonishment as to why he was not in charge of the Bangladesh national team.
