Khulna Tigers and Minister Group Dhaka are set to lock horns in Match No. 25 of the Bangabandhu BPL 2022 on Wednesday, February 9 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet.
The Tigers, led by Mushfiqur Rahim, find themselves in the middle of the table and don't have much room for complacency. Having won four out of seven games, they are placed third. They come into this game after beating the Sylhet Sunrisers by 15 runs.
After being sent in to bat, the Tigers racked up a massive score of 182 mostly due to Soumya Sarkar's unbeaten 62-ball knock of 82.
Skipper Rahim also chipped in with a crucial 38-ball 62*. Sarkar and Thisara Perera then got two wickets apiece to restrict the Sunrisers.
Meanwhile Dhaka, led by Mahmudullah, are precariously placed fourth in the points table. With seven points from as many games at a net run rate of 0.266, Dhaka also cannot afford to make too many mistakes going forward.
On Tuesday, Chattogram Challengers, led by Naeem Islam, beat them by three runs. Tamim Iqbal scored an unbaetan 56-ball 73 with six fours and three sixes, but couldn't take his team over the line.
Mahmudullah and Shuvagata Hom also scored 20s.
