THE LOWDOWN
FORTUNE BARISHAL
- Fortune Barishal will know whether they have a chance of making the knockout phase prior to this match depending on how Rajshahi get on against Chattogram and they too lost to Chattogram last time out so they will hope they can produce the goods for them ahead of this game.
- After a slow start to the campaign, Barishal have shown some positive signs in the last few matches but their only wins in the tournament have come against Rajshahi as they have struggled against the rest of the teams.
- Their reliance on Tamim Iqbal remains high but they did see Parvez Hossain Emon produce a magnificent unbeaten century against Rajshahi and that duo will need to be in the runs if they are to get a vital win here.
BEXIMCO DHAKA
- Beximco Dhaka have found form at just the right time as after losing their opening three games, they are now riding a four-match winning streak which has already secured them a place in the knockout phase.
- The batting has been solid enough but their bowling attack has been key for the laying the foundations for their superb recent form as Muktar Ali and Robiul Islam Robi have both taken 12 wickets apiece and Rubel Hossain has ten wickets.
- MD Al-Amin came in for the last game and hit an impressive 36 form 25 balls coming in at number three against Khulna so after rotating their top three batsmen throughout the tournament, they will surely keep faith with Mohammad Naim, Sabbir Rahman and Al-Amin for this game.
THE PREDICTION
So much will depend on what happens in the game earlier in the day as that could condition the mood and motivation of Barishal in this game. The odds are against them as they ideally need Rajshahi to lose and then they have to produce the goods themselves to get the win against in-form Dhaka. Their opponents are riding a four-game win streak and with Barishal only managing to beat Rajshahi and no other teams so far, they could fall short against Dhaka here regardless of the earlier result.
