TEAMS PREVIEW

Sylhet Sunrisers Preview

After a loss in their first game, Mosaddek Hossain’s side made a strong comeback to the tournament with a 7-wicket win against Minister group Dhaka.

Lendl Simmons and Anamul Haque did well in the last game and the side would hope to see a similar start from them here. In the middle order, the side has good strength with Mohammad Mithun, Colin Ingram, and Ravi Bopara in the side. They would also want to see big hits from Hossain, Sohag Gazi, and Muktar Ali down the order. 

Their bowling attack has looked in great shape and the side would like to see early wickets from Taskin Ahmed and Gazi who are in good form. Nazmul Hossain picked 4 wickets in the last game and this would add to his confidence. In Sunzamul Islam, Hossain, and Ali the side has good variety in its attack.

Minster Group Dhaka Preview

Mahmudullah’s side would be under pressure going into this game. They have won just once in the four games the side has played. They batted poorly against the Sunrisers in the last game and have to come out of it. One more loss would put them under serious pressure and Mahmudullah shall have to lead from the front and get his side’s campaign back on track. 

Their batting has been inconsistent, and the side would need to see a good start from Tamim Iqbal and Mohammad Shahzad in this game. Mohammad Naim, Jahurul Islam, and Mahmudullah shall have to do well in the middle order. Andre Russell has failed so far and the side would like to see a good show from him and Shuvagata Hom down the order. 

Mashrafe Mortaza and Rubel Hossain are experienced bowlers and the side would need a good show from them with the new ball. Hasan Murad and Russell will have to keep the scoring under check in the middle overs and the side would also like to see Isuru Udana, Hom and Mahmudullah win this game with tight bowling.

Minster Group Dhaka Predicted Playing XI:

Mahmudullah (c), Tamim Iqbal, Mohammad Shahzad (wk), Mohammad Naim, Jahurul Islam, Shuvagata Hom, Andre Russell, Mashrafe Mortaza, Isuru Udana, Hasan Murad, Rubel Hossain

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

There would be clear skies over Chattogram on January 28. The wicket is expected to be flat though there would be some assistance for the fast bowlers with the new ball. We have seen big scores at this venue in the past. Given the size of the ground, the side batting first would need 170 runs or more to defend it successfully.

Venue Details

The wicket at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram has something for the batsmen and bowlers. Batsmen can play their strokes on the up while the fast bowlers do get good bounce and swing off the surface. Spinners have also enjoyed a good record in the past as the wicket does offer them a lot of assistance.

Toss: To Bowl

It is an evening game and there is always the dew factor that plays an important role during this time of the year. Bowling with a wet ball is expected to be a huge challenge. The side winning the toss would like to take advantage of this and opt to bowl first in this game.
