Fortune Barishal and Sylhet Strikers take on each other in a match in the Bangladesh Premier League at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. Barishal have been known to play out of their comfort zones whenever the chance has come for them to do so.
Sylhet have not had the best runs in the league so far, and one does not expect them to put up much of a challenge against Barishal in this game. Their young Bangladeshi players have not been at the top of their games, hurting them deeply. They will be hoping for a miracle in this game.
Key Players
Shoaib Malik (Barishal): Pakistani all-rounder Shoaib Malik, who was in the news recently for his divorce from Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, will be hoping to put all the negativity behind him with a stellar showing in this game. Malik can hit the ball quickly and pick up the odd wicket or two.
Najmul Hossain Shanto (Sylhet): Bangladeshi batter Najmul Hossain Shanto, who has recently become a vital part of the national team, will hold the key for Sylhet in this game. If he can get off to a good start, he must convert it into a big score to help his team in the match.
Match Prediction
Fortune Barishal are the downright favourites to win this game over Sylhet Strikers. Barishal have an all-round side tha can compete with any team on equal footing. Sylhet, on the other hand, have faltered heavily this season and have not been able to keep up with many challenges.
Chattogram Challengers vs Durdanto Dhaka 17.02.2024 Prediction
One of the biggest lopsided games of the Bangladesh Premier League will be played between the Chattogram Challengers and Durdanto Dhaka in Chattogram on Saturday. The home team are much superior to their opponents and would like to rub it in their noses in this game.
Dhaka have been the wooden spooners of the tournament this season. They languish at the bottom of the league table with a mere two points to their name. They have won just one of the ten matches they have played so far and will be keen on changing that if possible in this game.
Key Players
Shuvagata Hom (Chattogram): Skipper Shuvagata Hom, who bats in the lower middle-order for Chattogram, will have to come to the fore in this game if his team is to pick up a win. Hom’s late-order exploits often help his team set up a big total or chase one down. He will be needed badly.
Mosaddek Hossain (Dhaka): Mosaddek Hossain’s handy off-spin often creates webs across the opposition batters’ minds; the same is expected of him in this game. Hossain’s batting is not discussed much, but he can provide quick runs to his team when needed.
Match Prediction
We do not doubt that Chattogram Challengers are the downright favourites to win this game. They are a much more competitive side than Dhaka and will be primed to pick up all the two points on offer. For Dhaka, it seems like their season will keep getting worse.
