TEAMS PREVIEW

Fortune Barishal Preview

Tamim Iqbal's team did well in the league stage, finishing at the top of the points table. The team will be confident despite losing their last league game against the Chittagong Kings. Key players are in good form and will look to deliver a strong show in this game. Iqbal knows his opponents' strengths and wants his players to be on top of their performance in this game. 

Tamim Iqbal is the key batter on this team, and he will look to deliver a strong start with Towhid Hridoy. Dawid Malan has struggled with consistency, and he must do well in the middle order with Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah. Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Nabi, and James Fuller are good hitters and must do well in the lower middle order. 

The bowling attack has done well this season. Ebadot Hossain and Mohammad Nabi must get the early wickets in this game, as the Chittagong Kings have a strong batting lineup. Faheem Ashraf has picked 20 wickets this season, and he must do well in the middle overs with James Fuller. Tanvir Islam and Rishad Hossain look forward to performing well in the supporting role.

Chittagong Kings Preview

Mohammad Mithun and his players will be confident. They ended the league stage perfectly, winning comfortably against Fortune Barishal. The side will look to repeat the same show as they take on the same team in this game. His opponents have a strong batting unit, and Mithun expects a strong show from his players. 

Parvez Hossain Emon played a match-winning knock in the last game and looks forward to delivering a strong start with Khawaja Nafay.

Shamim Hossain and Khaled Ahmed must do well in the lower middle order, as this has been a concern for the team.

The bowling attack has struggled a bit in the last few games. Binura Fernando bowled well in the last game, but he will need support from Shoriful Islam on the other end. Aliss Al Islam and Khaled Ahmed struggled in the last game, and they must bowl better spells. Th

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The weather will clear in Dhaka. As we have seen in the league games, it has been an easy wicket to bat on, and batsmen would count on their chances in the next game. Spinners would have a tough time bowling in the second innings with the dew. The side batting first will need 180 runs to win, with the average first innings score being 162 runs. 

BRSAL vs CK Pitch Report

The Shere Bangla National Stadium has been a batsman's paradise, especially for those who can play well square of the wicket with the boundaries pulled in. With the ground hosting so many back-to-back games, there is good grip and turn for the spinners, which evens it out.

Toss: To Bowl

Most of the teams have preferred chasing the score at this venue. The ground is excellent for run chases as the evening dew makes it difficult for the bowlers to grip the ball. The side that wins the toss will look to bowl first in this game.
