The match is scheduled to start at 01:30 PM Local Time (02:30 PM IST) and can be viewed on FanCode, RTA website and ACB’s Facebook page.

Preview:

The Band-e-Amir Dragons and the Boost Defenders finished the league stages of the tournament in more or less a similar position. Both these sides won three games each out of five and the only difference between them is the NRR. In the playoffs, they will be competing with each other in the Eliminator game.

There is a lot to lose as the team that ends up on the negative side of the result will be knocked out of the tournament. Meanwhile, the team that wins this game will go on to play the Qualifier-2 and then the final is they manage to win the qualifier game as well. This should be a well-fought game between these two sides.
