Khulna Tigers
Sylhet Strikers
In the last league fixture of the Bangladesh Premier League, Khulna Tigers will host Sylhet Strikers on Wednesday at Sher-e-Bangla Stadium. Both had a very unbalanced season this year. The hope of reaching the playoffs is still high and all they need is a win on Wednesday.
Khulna Tigers are at the 5th spot in the league right now with 5 wins and a net run rate of -0.101. They have witnessed a major decline in their performance and the team morale is at its lowest.
Sylhet Strikers are currently at the 6th spot in the point table with 3 wins and a net run rate of -1.041. Their chances to reach the playoffs are very bleak and a miracle can only make it happen for the Strikers.
Hope became part of the team recently and has scored 66 runs in 3 fixtures at an average of 33 and a strike rate of 134.69.
The betting tip is...
Shai Hope will score above 30.5 runs.

Khulna TigersSylhet StrikersNothing has changed in the performance of Khulna Tigers this year as well. They are expected to finish the league in the same spot as they did in the previous edition. The below-average performance of the batting unit is the main reason for the teamβs failure.
Anamul Haque has scored 251 in 10 matches at an average of 35.86 and he is the highest scorer in the team. Afif Hossain is behind him with 220 runs in 10 matches at an average of 27.50.
On the bowling front, Faheem Ashraf contributed well enough in 4 matches but he wonβt be present for the rest of the fixtures because of his PSL duties. Nasum Ahmed has picked up 7 wickets in 9 matches at an economy of 8.31 but even he is not confirmed to be part of the fixture.
Mukidul Islam, Wayne Parnell, Afif Hossain, and Evin Lewis are the key players in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Afif Hossain, Shai Hope(w), Anamul Haque(c), Evin Lewis, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Parvez Hossain Emon, Mukidul Islam, Wayne Parnell, Nahidul Islam, Arif Ahmed, Oshane Thomas
The leading giants of the previous edition of BPL, are currently struggling at the bottom of the point table. Sylhet Strikers witnessed a nightmare this season with consecutive losses and experienced players unable to perform well enough.
Zakir Hasan is their highest scorer with 206 runs in 10 matches but his average is 22.89 which is not helping the team. Mohammad Mithun has scored 157 runs in 9 matches and his average also stands low at 17.44.
The bowling unit has also been a weak point for the Strikers. Wickets will be expected from Samit Patel as he has picked up 8 wickets in 7 matches at an economy of 5.07. Benny Howell will take center stage in the absence of Richard Ngarava. Howell has scalped 6 wickets in 7 matches at an economy of 6.76.
Benny Howell, Sunzamul Islam, and Samit Patel are the key players in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Mohammad Mithun, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Harry Tector, Zakir Hasan, Ariful Haque, Shafiqul Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Ryan Burl, Benny Howell, Sunzamul Islam, Angelo Perera
Sylhet Strikers are a vulnerable team and they have multiple weaknesses in the team. The batters have completely failed to score runs and even the bowlers are struggling to perform well.
Khulna Tigers have been inconsistent this year as well but they will get the benefit of being a much better team than the Strikers. We predict a win for the Khulna Tigers on Wednesday.
