BPL Cricket Match Prediction 2024 | Match 25 | Khulna Tigers vs Sylhet Strikers – Will the KHT avoid their third consecutive defeat in the tournament by defeating SYL? | Feb 09
Khulna Tigers and Sylhet Strikers will square off in the Match 25 of the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League on Friday afternoon. The Strikers have four points from eight matchups, while the Tigers have eight points from six matches. On February 9, at 14:00 local time, the game begins at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.
Although the Khulna Tigers started the BPL season with a bang, they have since dropped their last two games against Comilla Victorians and Fortune Barishal. Even yet, we believe the Tigers will have enough to win this match despite the Sylhet Strikers’ improved play.
Since Sylhet Strikers had defeated Durdanto Dhaka in two of their last three games, the team’s confidence will be significantly greater than it was at the beginning of the month. But on Friday, the Tigers will present a far more formidable opponent.
Khulna Tigers vs Sylhet Strikers Team Preview & Squads
Khulna Tigers
Following his recovery from injury in Wednesday’s match against Comilla Victorians, former T20 World Cup winner Evin Lewis took his place at the top of the order, while Parvez Hossain Emon dropped to the middle order. Regarding the lineup for this match, we do not anticipate any changes, however Hossain Emon might get a promotion.
In Game 23, Anamul Haque, the captain and keeper-battler, amassed runs at a strike rate of 158.33. This was an impressive innings given that the remaining seven players on his team were unable to surpass a strike rate of 87.50. In his return to the club, 32-year-old left-hander Evin Lewis opened the batting against the Comilla Victorians. Eleven runs are needed in this match for him to reach 6000 T20 runs.
In his final two overs on Wednesday, Pakistani seamer Faheem Ashraf claimed his wickets. He poses a threat every time he bowls in this match because of his precision. In the same over of Match 23, 29-year-old left-arm orthodox spinner Nasum Ahmed removed both Comilla Victorians’ openers.

Anamul Haque (c & wk), Afif Hossain, Evin Lewis, Akbar Ali, Nahidul Islam, Parvez Hossain Emon, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim, Faheem Ashraf, Nasum Ahmed, and Mukidul Islam.
Sylhet Strikers
For the Sylhet Strikers’ most recent match, all-around player Benny Howell returned to the squad after Richard Ngarava left for the ILT20 competition. Najmul Hossain Shanto fell to number three at the top of the batting order, bringing about more adjustments. Before this match, none of the Strikers’ players were injured.
Ryan Burl, a Zimbabwean who relishes playing the position of “finisher” for this team, enters the game having scored 29 and 43 runs in his previous two innings. In the most recent game versus Dhaka, left-handed top-order batsman Najmul Hossain Shanto broke a string of five straight games with a single-figure score of 33 runs off 25 balls.
Benny Howell, a T20 specialized all-rounder, won the Player of the Match Award on Wednesday following his hitting of 30 runs without giving up and his 1/17 from four overs. In the previous match, Rejaur Rahman Raja, a 24-year-old right-arm medium-fast bowler, took out Saim Ayub, Irfan Sukker, and Lasith Croospulle.
Sylhet Strikers Squads
Sylhet Strikers
Mohammad Mithun (c & wk), Harry Tector, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Samit Patel, Zakir Hasan, Benny Howell, Ariful Haque, Ryan Burl, Nayeem Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, and Rejaur Rahman Raja.
We anticipate that both sides will opt to field first in this match, even though we have seen the Comilla Victorians win during this phase after opting to bat first. Although there may be some cloud cover, there is no chance that the rain will stop this contest. There won’t be a temperature increase beyond 22 degrees.
The Shere Bangla National Stadium surface seems to be two-paced, and any team with a total of 150 or more should be able to win this game.
