After a prolonged wait, Barisal secured a victory in their last match. Following the Chittagong phase, the Dhaka leg recommenced with a face-off between Cumilla and Barisal. Barisal's captain, Tamim Iqbal, opted to bowl first after winning the toss.

Barishal needed to win this crucial match to confirm their qualification. However, they were grappling with a lack of confidence due to player injuries and delays in getting foreign players on time. The team's regular player, South African spinner Keshav Maharaj, was sidelined from the BPL due to an injury. Despite their previous win, Barishal, under pressure, sent Cumilla to bat, aiming to secure a spot in the qualifying round.

Cumilla shuffled their top order to accelerate scoring in today's match. Sunil Narine partnered with Liton Kumar, but their partnership was short-lived. Barisal's left-arm spinner Taijul Islam swiftly dismissed Sunil Narine for 16 and Liton for 12, mitigating the absence of Keshav Maharaj.

Tohid Hridoy's informed 25 runs and Moin's 22 runs attempted to anchor Cumilla's middle order. Saifuddin and Obed McCoy clinched two wickets each. At the end of 20 overs, Cumilla managed to muster 140 runs, losing 8 wickets.

Barisal's bowler Aqeeb Javed proved costly, while Kyle Mayers remained wicketless in 3 overs, conceding 17 runs.

Towards the end, Zakir Ali's explosive 38 runs propelled Cumilla Victorians to a formidable position, setting a target of 141 runs on Dhaka's spin-friendly pitch against Barisal.

In pursuit of 141 runs, Barisal commenced their batting cautiously. Pakistani batsman Ahmed Shahzad departed early, leaving Barisal at 34 runs in six overs, with one wicket down.

The 65-run partnership between Tamim Iqbal and Kyle Mayers significantly contributed to Barisal's triumph. However, Mayers fell victim to Mushfiq Hasan after posing a threat, securing two wickets in four overs, conceding 19 runs.

Tamim Iqbal's composed 50 off 40 balls marked his personal milestone of 50 fifties and the BPL's second fifty. He was eventually dismissed by Russell for 66 off 48 balls. With his 66 runs, Tanjid Hasan Tamim surpassed Tamim's tally, becoming the leading run-scorer.

Cumilla failed to capitalize on their successful bowler Tanvir Hasan from the previous match. Barisal sealed their playoff berth with Mahmudullah Riyad and Soumya Sarkar's finishing touches, securing the third position.
