Chattogram Challengers vs Khulna Tigers Match Analysis

In the fourth Twenty20 match of the Bangladesh Premier League 2024, Chattogram Challengers and Khulna Tigers will square off at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.  

Chattogram The Challengers’ bowling display against the Sylhet Sixers in their season opener was disappointing. Three of their main bowlers, Shohidul Islam, Al Amin, and Bilal Khan, were all without a wicket. They will, however, be into this game fresh off a successful run-chase in which the middle-order stepped up and produced a significant partnership.

After finishing with just three victories from 12 games in 2023, the Tigers will be looking to turn things around. One of these was against Chattogram, where they had seven wickets remaining and chased down 158 runs. But the Khulna Tigers have only kept one star from that victory for the current season. Yasir Ali, the captain, Azam Khan, and Tamim Iqbal have all been cut from the team. The Khulna Tigers will be able to add depth to their batting lineup and some diversity to their bowling attack because they have strengthened their all-rounder department this season.

As they take on the formidable Khulna Tigers batting lineup, captain Shuvagata Hom will be looking for the three of Al Amin, Bilal Khan, and Shohidul Islam to recover and regain their rhythm. In the last game, when the Challengers started their run-chase, Avishka Fernando appeared to be in good form. Imran Uzzaman, the number three, and Tanzid Hasan, his opening partner, failed to get going and were replaced cheaply. 

But the Challengers’ comeback was spearheaded by Najibullah Zadran and Shahadat Hossain. The Chattogram Challengers won the game by seven wickets after the two put on 121 runs for the fourth wicket.

The way Hossain and Zadran performed will have the challengers thrilled, and they should be optimistic going into this game.

Despite having Mohammad Haris and Stephen Eskinazi in the lineup, we believe the Challengers won’t alter their batting order just yet. Muhammad Hasnain is another strong bowling option they have.

Khulna Tigers

We estimate that two of their four wicket-keeper batters may be included in the playing XI. And Shai Hope and Captain Anamul Haque would be these. Additionally, we don’t think the captain would choose a third wicket-keeper batsman because they have a wonderful balance of all-rounders with three batting all-rounders.

Experienced players like Dasun Shanaka and Dhananjaya de Silva will be important hitters. For Khulna Tigers, Shanaka can be the lower-middle-order finisher. Another important player among the all-rounders is Faheem Ashram.

With his ability to score quick runs, this bowling all-rounder should be in the starting lineup. Although Naseem Shah and Wahab Riaz are not available this season, the Khulna Tigers will be counting on Kasun Rajitha and Mohammad Wasim Jr. to provide the necessary pace.

Another seasoned bowler in this attack, Rubel Hossain, will be counted on to make significant breakthroughs when needed. In addition to his great performance on the international scene, he has a wealth of experience playing in these conditions.

Teams who won the toss chose to bowl first in both games on the opening day of the BPL 2024. In this match, both captains will probably choose to bowl first as well.

On the day of the match, Dhaka would see partly overcast skies with a high of 21 degrees Celsius.

Although in the past it has been a pitch that has benefited both bowlers and hitters, in the last few games it has felt as though the bowlers were in control. It appears that making rapid runs at this wicket is a little difficult.
