TEAMS PREVIEW

Abahani Limited Preview

Abahani are going stronger in the title defense of the Dhaka Premier League this year. They are coming off a 173-run victory against Gulshan Cricket Club. They posted 315 runs while batting first and bowled out the opposition on 142 runs. Islam Ankon scored a century while batting at No. 5. It’s a great sign for Abhani that the middle order is stepping up for them. 

Abahani extended their winning streak to six matches in the league. They have lost only two games out of seven in the season. Abahani Limited are second in the table, thanks to a superior NRR. The defending champions offer a solid combination of young and experienced players. Soumya Sarkar and Mosaddek Hossain are two international players who give experience. 

Islam Ankon could be a player to watch out for. He has scored 394 runs in 8 innings this season. We back him to score above 30 runs in the upcoming game. Abahani lost to both promoted sides Dhaka Leopard and City Club in their first two games. Since then, they are unbeaten in the tournament.

Abahani Limited Predicted Playing XI:

Jishan Alam, Soumya Sarkar, Jaker Ali, Mahfuzur Rahman Rabby, Mahidul Islam Ankon, Rakibul Hasan, SM Meherob, Sabbir Rahman, Mosaddek Hossain, Rohanat Doullah Borson, Maruf Mridha

Legends of Rupganj Preview

Legends of Rupganj enter the contest with a disappointing performance against Mohammedan . It was their first loss after three consecutive victories. Mohammedan posted 339 while batting first and Rupganj were bowled out on 232. 16 overs of the game were left in the contest. It means, it was a comfortable chase if wickets were in hand. They lost 7 wickets on 142 runs but tailenders survived a humiliation. 

Rupganj have five wins so far and they are in the top four with 10 points. One more victory can help them to reach top-two. Rahman Sibli could be a player to watch out for. He has 365 runs in 8 innings so far with two half-centuries and one century. We back him to score above 35 runs in the next game. Mahedi Hasan is also an impact player who has 12 wickets in the competition. He can also contribute with the bat.

Legends of Rupganj Predicted Playing XI:

Habibur Rahman Sohan, Robiul Islam Robi, Irfaan Shukkur, Aich Mollah, Ashiqur Rahman Shibli, Shahriar Ahmed, Samiun Basir, Mahedi Hasan, Masum Khan, Nasum Ahmed, Salauddin Sakil

ABL vs LOP Pitch Report

The pitch at Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protisthan No 3 Ground is a challenging surface. It offers a good amount of help to spin. It is a challenging ODI batting surface with the average 1st innings score around 275 runs. Out of the previous three games, 300-plus runs were scored twice. Anything above 275 can be a good total to defend. Considering the rain, we expect a short game. 

Score Prediction 

If Abahani Limited bat first - 290-310 runs 

If Legends of Rupganj bat first - 260-270 runs 

Toss: To Bowl

Toss will play a major role due to the weather forecast. Out of the last five matches on ground No. 3, chasing teams won three matches. Even the winning margin in runs is not so high. Strikers won a game by 7 runs and Prime Bank won by 21 runs. Rain prediction is high and in this case, the match might get shorter. Chasing is a fair advantage and pacers can get early help in the overcast conditions. 

Toss Prediction: Abahani Limited to win the coin toss.
