Dhaka won the toss and decided to field. After dismissing Evin Lewis cheaply, Tamim Iqbal and Anamul Haque put on 89 runs in a partnership. Both Anamul and Shamshur Rahman were out in quick succession but Tamim and captain Imrul Kayes put on a 100-run partnership for the fourth wicket, with Tamim scoring his first BPL century.[3][4][5]

In the chase, Dhaka lost the wicket of Sunil Narine to the second ball of the innings. Upul Tharanga and Rony Talukdar put on 102 runs for the second wicket, but after the pair were dismissed no other batters could establish effective partnerships and the team finished on 182 runs, losing the match by 17 runs. As a result, Comilla took their second BPL title.

Tamim Iqbal was chosen as Player of the Match for his match winning score of 141 not out.[3] While Shakib Al Hasan was chosen Player of the Tournament for his all-round performance. Rilee Rossouw of Rangpur Riders was the highest run scorer in the tournament, while Shakib took the most wickets.[4]
