Chattogram Challengers vs Sylhet Strikers Match Analysis

On Friday night at Mirpur, Chattogram Challengers and Sylhet Strikers will square off in the second match of the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League. With just three victories during the competition, the Challengers came in last place, while the Strikers won the group stage the previous year. At the Shere Bangla National Stadium, the match begins at 19:00 local time.

Chattogram Challengers will be eager to start the competition on a winning note after such a poor 2023 campaign. To defeat one of the most formidable teams from the previous campaign, the Challengers will require some outstanding play from a few of their players.

Last year, Sylhet Strikers advanced to the final in addition to winning the group stage. They will be full of confidence going into this year’s competition, and most experts anticipate them to start strong in Mirpur.

Chattogram Challengers vs Sylhet Strikers Team Preview & Squads

Chattogram Challengers

In this encounter, Chattogram Challengers won’t be playing at full strength, much as other teams in the BPL 2024. While Stephen Eskinazi is currently playing in the BBL, we anticipate that Najibullah Zadran will arrive in time from Bengaluru and the T20I series with India to participate in this match.

The Ireland international Curtis Campher, who was born in South Africa, has amassed over 1000 T20 runs at a remarkable strike rate of 135.73 thus far in his career. The left-handed opener Tanzid Hasan has performed poorly in One-Day Internationals (ODIs) but has an excellent domestic T20 record, leading to a top score of 79 not out.

With almost 100 T20 wickets claimed, Bilal Khan is an accomplished left-arm medium-fast bowler with the highest stats in this format of 4/19. Al-Amin Hossain, a 31-year-old right-arm medium-fast bowler with over 50 international appearances and 74 wickets at this level, will be dangerous on this pitch.

Sylhet Strikers

Although the Strikers will have greater depth and match-winning players available in subsequent games, they will still be able to field a formidable team for this one. For Sylhet’s second match, Zimbabweans Ryan Burl and the highly effective bowler Richard Ngarava will be available.

In the 2023 BPL, Najmul Hossain Shanto, a left-handed top-order batsman, amassed 91 more runs than any other player, capping an extremely successful year. Ireland’s Harry Tector averages 42 in Test matches and 48.66 in One-Day Internationals. His highest score in the Twenty20s is 91, one of seven half-centuries.

The all-rounder who bowls left-arm spin often in the BPL is Samit Patel. He has participated in 391 T20 matches and varies the tempo and angle of his delivery. At this level, Mashrafe Mortaza, a 40-year-old right-arm fast-medium bowler, remains a formidable opponent. Throughout his career, he has claimed 169 T20 wickets.

Chattogram Challengers vs Sylhet Strikers outfield report

Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur

When a team wins the toss in the previous year’s competition, they often field first at the Shere Bangla National Stadium. Both sides should desire to field first, in our opinion. On the day of the match, Dhaka will experience bright skies and a high temperature of 22 degrees Celsius.

As the game goes on, the balanced wicket will benefit the pacers with the new ball and eventually bring the spinners into play.
