Preview :
The Bangladesh Premier League seems to be getting split into two halves and this next match is going to be played between the Khulna Tigers and Fortune Barishal, both teams that are in the bottom half of the standings right now.
Both teams have won two out of the four matches that they have played so far. interestingly, this is going to be the second straight match that the Khulna Tigers and Fortune Barishal play against each other. The previous match was won by Fortune Barishal by 17 runs.
The Khulna Tigers lost their previous match to Fortune Barishal largely because of the early wickets they lost in their batting stint. Andre Fletcher and Soumya Sarkar got out cheaply in the first over and that derailed the chase completely. Mahedi Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Thisara Perera, and Yasir Ali did play some cameos and tried to get their chase back on track but regular wickets kept them behind the game.
Overall, we think the Khulna Tigers have a stronger batting lineup than Fortune Barishal. They have a strong middle-order and can end up boosting their total through their power hitters provided they get a good start.
Fortune Barishal made some changes to its lineup as well as the batting order in the previous match. That was an expected move to try and unlock the best that its team had to offer. The batting still struggled but Chris Gayle played well for his 45 and helped the team get to what was eventually a winning total.
Jake Lintott seems to be likely to open the batting and play the role of attacking pinch-hitter once more. This willingness to take risks and use the powerplay is a very good sign.
