In Pictures: Fans turn up in thousands for BPL final

Fans in thousands have made their way to the capital's Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium today to witness the final of the 10th Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

Supporters of Comilla Victorians and Fortune Barishal have been arriving at the venue since noon, many draped in their respective team's jersey, waving their flag and some even getting face painting with the names of their favourite players.
