Khulna Tigers and Sylhet Strikers will lock horns in the 30th game of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2023 on Monday (January 30) at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet.
The Tigers, led by Yasir Ali Chowdhury, are fifth in the points table with four points and a net run rate of -0.208. They didn’t make the greatest of starts, losing three straight games. They found some momentum after beating the Rangpur Riders and Chattogram Challengers.
However, losses against Dhaka Dominators and Comilla Victorians have again pushed them back. Against the Victorians, they had a decent chance of winning before losing by four runs. Captain Yasir scored 30 off 19, but his valiant efforts couldn’t pay dividends.
The Strikers, captained by Mashrafe Mortaza, meanwhile, are sitting pretty atop the stnadings with 14 points and an excellent net run rate of +0.807. They will go into the game after beating Chattogram Challengers, led by Shuvagata Hom, by seven wickets.
Najmul Hossain Shanto was the Player of the Match, scoring 60 off 44 with six fours and two sixes, helping the Strikers chase down a target of 175 with 12 deliveries to spare.
