Tabletoppers Khulna Tigers will feel they can get the better of their opponents, Fortune Barishal, when the two teams take each other on at the Sylhet International Stadium in Sylhet on Saturday. Khulna have been better than most teams in the tournament so far.
Barishal have a perfect side, and it is rather sad to see them languishing near the bottom of the league table. A positive result in this game will do a world of good to their confidence. It will be challenging for them, but they can do it.
Key Players
Tamim Iqbal (Barishal): Opener and captain Tamim Iqbal will feel he must take a stand for himself and his team in this game. If he gets off to a good start, he can take his team along — no wonder the fans will want to watch him do well.
Anamul Haque (Khulna): Anamul Haque, the wicketkeeper and captain of Khulna, will have to do exceptionally well both with the bat and the gloves to set up a good platform for his team. Anamul has been in good form throughout this season, and he will be hoping to continue it.
Match Prediction
Khulna are the downright favourites to win this game. They have a big advantage over their opponents in this game, and we expect them to cross the line quite comfortably. It will not be easy for Barishal to compete with them on equal footing in this game.
Sylhet Strikers vs Rangpur Riders 03.02.2024 Prediction
Sylhet Strikers take on Rangpur Riders in the Bangladesh Premier League in Sylhet on Saturday. Both teams are similarly matched, and it remains to be seen how they fare in this game. It will not be difficult for Rangpur to come to terms with Sylhet.
For now, Sylhet have come out of the last position of the league table and conferred it to Durdanto Dhaka. Rangpur will try to ensure they send Sylhet back to the bottom of the table. They have several top players in their ranks, and it won’t be easy for Sylhet.
Key Players
Najmul Hossain Shanto (Sylhet): Najmul Hossain Shanto, one of Bangladesh’s finest batters currently, plays for the Sylhet side in the BPL. Shanto is known for his impeccable timing of the cricket ball, which helps him succeed.
Brandon King (Rangpur): Brandon King, who has turned up for Rangpur, is one of the most exciting prospects to have played in the BPL. King can tear into any bowler, and he seldom treats them respectfully. The Caribbean batter is known to be explosive at the top of the order.
Match Prediction
Rangpur Riders are the overwhelming favourites to win this game. They have a much stronger side than Sylhet Strikers, and we expect them to take home the two points on offer quite comfortably. Rangpur have a more balanced outfit and can be expected to put up a splendid showing in this game.
