Khulna Tigers and Sylhet Sunrisers will lock horns in Match No.17 of the Bangabandhu BPL 2022 on Thursday, February 3 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.
The Sunrisers, led by Mosaddek Hossain Saikat, are in dire straits and are placed at the bottom of the table with one win and a net run rate of -0.366. They will go into the next game on the back of a 16-run defeat at the hands of Chattogram Challengers.
After electing to field first in that game, their bowlers floundered as the Challengers racked up a massive score of 202 for five on the board. Lendl Simmons and Anamul Haque Bijoy put on 112 runs for the second wicket, but their valiant efforts went in vain.
The Tigers, led by Mushfiqur Rahim, aren't in the best of positions either as they are placed fifth in the table with a poor net run rate of -0.272. They will go into their next match after back-to-back losses at the hands of Fortune Barishal, led by Shakib Al Hasan.
They lost their previous match by six runs on Monday. Their bowlers did a great job of restricting Barishal to 145 in 18.5 overs. But their batters faltered as the Tigers could only manage 139 for six. Yasir Ali Chowdhury's 34-ball 57 went in vain.
