Barishal finished the league stages of the competition with 14 points to end third on the table. In the Eliminator they then romped to an easy win over Chattogram Challengers with over five overs to spare.
This was followed by a six-wicket victory over Rangpur Riders in the second Qualifier that took them to the final where they met Comilla Victorians.
Comilla never looked like they had enough on the board as they were restricted to 154/6 before Barishal chased it down in 19 overs.
