TEAMS PREVIEW

Fortis Mainati Preview

Fortis Mainati suffered a 37-run defeat in their first match of the tournament against Ispahani Karnaphuli. Opting to bowl, their bowlers made an immediate breakthrough in the first over. 

Sanjit, Paran, and Shamim each chipped in with two wickets apiece to keep the pressure on at various stages. However, their death bowling faltered drastically as Ispahani's lower order hammered boundaries at will, conceding 150 runs in the allotted 16 overs.

Chasing a steep target of 151, Fortis Mainati’s batting unit collapsed from the start. They were reduced to 25/5 inside four overs against sharp bowling and never recovered from the top-order slump. Sajib put up a brave solo fight with an unbeaten 38 off 31 deliveries, and Yeasir Arfat contributed 15, but lack of support from the other batters saw them finish well short at 107/8.

Fortis Mainati Predicted Playing XI:

Paran, Saddam, Takrir, Saiful, Fahim, Shamim, Sajib, Ashraful, Yeasir Arfat, Sanjit, Mehedi

Team Shampan Preview

Team Shampan begin their tournament with a hard-fought six-run victory after setting a defendable total. Opting to bat first, they suffered early setbacks with the top order wobbling at 33/3 inside the powerplay. 

However, Junayed anchored the innings with an unbeaten 41 off 35 balls, finding handy support from Humayun (24 runs) and Jasim (19 runs) to propel the side to a competitive 125/7 in their 20 overs.

Defending 125, their bowling unit delivered under pressure. Safayat ran through the middle order with an outstanding spell of 3 for 12 in four overs, stifling the run chase. 

Anik provided crucial breakthroughs by bagging 2/25, while Humayun was extremely economical, claiming 1/19, including a maiden over. Despite a fighting fifty from Tonmoy, Team Shampan held their nerves at the death, restricting FizzUp Bhulua to 119/9 to seal the game.

Team Shampan Predicted Playing XI:

Kawsar, Jasim, Omar, Azad, Junayed, Anik, Safayat, Humayun, Mahir, Saddam, Rokib

Weather Conditions

Chattogram will experience sunny conditions on Thursday, with temperatures peaking around 32°C. High humidity levels near 76% will create sticky, warm conditions throughout the day, while gentle winds at 10 km/h and a low 20% chance of precipitation will ensure largely clear, uninterrupted play.

FM vs TS Pitch Report

The surface at Johor Ahmed Chaudhary International Stadium offers a balanced track that favours both the batters and bowlers. The last two matches have been moderate scoring where the average 1st innings score is around 130 runs. Spinners have been the most effective ones on this slowish track and score of 145-160 is going to be a par score on this surface. 

Toss: To Bat

Teams batting first won both the matches played at Johor Ahmed Chaudhary International Stadium in the ongoing Regional tournament. Chasing has been tough for the batters as the surface slows down during the later stages of the match. We predict the team that wins the toss will look to bat first.
