Dhaka,  27 Feb-In a bid to confirm the place in Bangladesh Premier  League (BPL) final, Fortune Barishal will take on Rangpur Riders in Qualifier-2 game, that turned out to be to virtual semifinal, at Sher-e-

Bangla National Cricket Stadium tomorrow (Wednesday). The match starts at 6.30 PM.

Barishal came to the Qualifier-2 after winning Eliminator game, thrashing Chattogram Challengers by seven wickets. Rangpur, however, despite a James Neesham special failed to make it the final straightway after losing the game to Comilla Victorians by six wickets.

The stained relationship between the two big stars of Bangladesh is now public, which further makes the contest spicy. Also the fans of the two stars are now severely divided as they were seen to abuse their favored-cricketer's competitor in on and off the field, which is now often crossing the limit.

Both Shakib and Tamim were subject to the abuse of the rowdy fans in their first and second leg clash in the group phase.

Tamim's Fortune Barishal though Shakib's Rangpur by five wickets in the opening game, the latter took the revenge by defeating Barishal by one wicket in a thrilling contest in the second leg. 

In the second-leg, Tamim was seen mocking Shakib's celebration after taking the catch of the star allrounder which further sparked the fans to involve in offensive online war. 

However while the relationship between the two stars promises a titanic 
clash, the Qualifier-2 game will matter most regardless of their personal 
problem. The winner will advance to the final to face off the tournament's 
most successful team Comilla Victorians.
