Chattogram Challengers and Khulna Tigers will lock horns in the sixth game of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2023 on Monday (January 9) at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.
The Challengers, captained by Shuvagata Hom, got off to a forgettable start in the BPL, losing to Sylhet Strikers by eight wickets in their opening game. After being put in to bat first, the Challengers only managed 89-9.
Barring Afif Hossain Dhrubo, none of the other batters got a measure of the conditions and the opposition bowling. Afif scored 25 off 23 with three fours. The strikers, in response, chased the target down with 45 balls to spare, with Najmul Hossain Shanto scoring an unbeaten 41-ball 43.
Meanwhile, the Tigers, led by Yasir Ali Chowdhury, didn’t get off to the best of starts either. On Saturday, Dhaka Dominators beat them by six wickets. After being put in to bat first, the Tigers huffed and puffed to 113-8 in their 20 overs.
Azam Khan, Yasir Ali and Mohammad Saifuddin got starts but failed to get going. Al-Amin Hossain picked up four wickets for the Dominators. In response, Dhaka chased down the target with five balls to spare, with Nasir Hossain scoring an unbeaten 36. Earlier, he had also picked up two wickets.
