THE LOWDOWN
GEMCON KHULNA
- Gemcon Khulna have shown some improvement in their last couple of matches as they have won their last two games against Dhaka and Barisal but they will now face Rajshahi who beat in game three of this tournament.
- They brought in Zakir Hasan for the last match to open the innings and he responded in style hitting an impressive 63 to lay the foundations for their 173/6 which they defended with relative ease winning by 48 runs.
- Shuvagata Hom continued his fine form since coming into the side as the couple of rotations they have made have certainly paid off but they are expected to stick with the team that beat Barisal last time out.
MINISTER GROUP RAJSHAHI
- Minister Group Rajshahi won their opening two matches but have since lost their last three as confidence in the team is draining and two of those have come against relatively weak Barisal and Dhaka sides.
- Rajshahi are the only team to possess four different batsmen who have hit half centuries in this year’s edition of the Bangabandhu T20 Cup but their issue has been that those innings have rarely been supported by other batsmen as they struggle to put together a complete performance.
- With the bowling unit struggling to take wickets other than Mukidul Islam who has taken nine so far albeit expensively, they simply need more players to step up and they could well decide to make some changes here to spark a reaction.
THE PREDICTION
These two teams are trending in different directions right now as Khulna are improving with every game, while Rajshahi are struggling having lost three in succession now. Khulna are looking better and still have more improvement to make as they look to peak at the right time. On the flipside, Rajshahi have very few players who are anywhere close to their best and their issue has been finding more than two or three players per game making significant contributions. With all the momentum and form in favour of this Khulna side, expect them to get the win here.
