Chattogram Challengers, who have been in fine form in the BPL this season, will take on Fortune Barishal at the Sylhet International Stadium in Sylhet on Saturday. Both teams have good opportunities to win this game, but Chattogram have a more balanced outfit than Barishal.
Ranked second in the league table at the moment, Chattogram will feel that they can get one over the side of Barishal, who are last but one in the rankings. The latter may not have the best teams, but they are known to fight till the end whenever they are pushed back to the wall. This means that we will see an exciting game.
Key Players
Curtis Campher (Chattogram): Irish star Curtis Campher is one of the key players to watch out for on the Chattogram side. It has always been challenging for players from the English Isles to adapt to the conditions in Bangladesh, but Campher needs to prove everyone wrong if he wants his team to succeed.
Tamim Iqbal (Barishal): Skipper Tamim Iqbal holds the key for Barishal. He is one of the finest batters to have come out of Bangladesh, and if he manages to stroke his way comfortably through the overs, Barishal will have a big upper hand over their opponents in this game.
Match Prediction
Despite Fortune Barishal’s credentials, Chattogram Challengers are the favourites to win this game. We expect them to win this game comfortably given that they have momentum on their side and can take the attack to the side from Barishal.
Durdanto Dhaka vs Rangpur Riders 27.01.2024 Prediction
Durdanto Dhaka take on Rangpur Riders in a Saturday match in the Bangladesh Premier League in Sylhet. Now that the BPL has moved from Dhaka to Sylhet, Durdanto will have to make sure that they adapt to these conditions early and keep their opponents from getting any advantage over them by this.
Rangpur, however, have not had the best of times so far this season. Although they have played excellent cricket, they will feel that they need every result to go their way to leave a mark in this competition. Rangpur have a perfect side with many experienced players in their ranks, and it is only a matter of time before they come to the top of the table.
Key Players
Alex Ross (Dhaka): Australian Alex Ross, who the Durdanto Dhaka side has drafted in for the BPL, is one of their key players. Ross is known to hit the ball a long way, and if he can do that for his team here in Bangladesh, the fans will instantly take a liking towards him. He can infuse some much-needed firepower into the Dhaka lower middle order.
Babar Azam (Rangpur): Pakistan’s star batter, Babar Azam, must fire on all cylinders if Rangpur win this game and go to the top of the table. To get to the pole position of the standings, Azam has to lead his team from the front and showcase that he can score at a brisk pace.
Match Prediction
Rangpur Riders are currently ranked second in the league table, which gives them a big advantage over Durdanto Dhaka in this game. The latter, who have been forced to play out of their home venue of Sher-E-Bangla Stadium, will have to adapt quickly to these conditions here in Sylhet. However, the Riders are the favourites.
