Sylhet Sunrisers and Minister Group Dhaka are set to lock horns in the seventh match of the Bangabandhu BPL 2022 on Tuesday, January 25, at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.
The Sunrisers, led by Mosaddek Hossain Saikat, didn't make the best of starts to their BPL campaign, as they lost to Comilla Victorians by two wickets on Saturday. After being sent in to bat first, the Sunrisers folded for 96, with Colin Ingram's 20 being the top score.
The Victorians chased down the target in 18.4 overs. Left-arm spinner Nazmul Islam was the pick of the Sunrisers bowlers with three wickets, with Sohag Gazi and Saikat getting two wickets apiece.
Dhaka, led by Mahmudullah Riyad, lost consecutive games against Khulna Tigers and Chattogram Challengers. However, on Monday, they defeated Fortune Barishal by four wickets to register their maiden win.
They restricted Barishal to 129-8, with Andre Russell and Isuru Udana picking up two wickets apiece. Dhaka were reduced to 10-4 in their run chase, but Mahmudullah's run-a-ball 47 and Russell's 15-ball 31 took them across the finish line.
