In the day's second match, Fortune Barishal will face Khulna Tigers, with the match set to begin at 6:30 pm.

The floodlights, however, are operating even for the day game as there is very little sunlight coming through the heavy cloud cover.

The fan turnout is considerably lower compared to the first two days of the season. The fans who are at the stands have covered themselves in layers of clothing to combat the icy weather.

The players of the Comilla Victorians and Sylhet Strikers, who are not in action today, also turned up at Mirpur for a training session.
