Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

As the euphoria around the 2019-20 Bangladesh Premier League starts to build, two sides- Dhaka Platoon and Cumilla Warriors- with the most contrasting start to their campaign will lock horns in the seventh encounter of the quadrennial event. 

The Platoon come into this encounter on the back of a nine-wicket shellacking at the hands of Rajshahi Royals. Batting first, none of the Platoon batsmen barring Anamul Haque [38] could make a substantial impact against the likes of Abu Jayed [2-43], Farhad Raza [1-14] and Ravi Bopara [1-15], resulting in them posting an underwhelming 9-134 after 20 overs. In reply, Rajshahi batsmen did what their counterparts couldn’t with Hazratullah Zazai leading the way with a 47-ball 56.

Cumilla Tigers, on the other hand, pulled off an imperious 105-run-win at the expense of Rangpur Riders. After having shellacked the bowlers-courtsey Dhanusha Shamaka’s 31-ball 75- to the tune of 7-173, their bowling unit- led by Al-Amin Hossain [3-14] and Sunzumal Islam [2-4] proceeded to bowl the Riders out for 68 in 14 overs.

Weather Condition/Report:

Another bright and sunny day devoid of any chance of rain is expected in Dhaka on Thursday. According to the weather report, the temperatures will be in the range of 17-27 degrees celsius and humidity hovering around 58%.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The pitch at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium has provided for an intriguing contest between bat and the ball. While the batsmen have got value for their runs, the bowlers too have chipped in with impactful performances.

Top Picks:

Dhaka Platoon- One of the biggest reasons why Dhaka Platoon lost their first game was because of the inability of their top-order- Tamim Iqbal, Anamul Haque, Laurie Evans, and Jaker Ali- to provide them with a steady start. Once again the onus will on them as far as the batting is concerned. With the ball, the onus will be on senior players like Mashrafe Mortaza, Mahedi Hasan, and Shahid Afridi.

Cumilla Tigers– The Tigers batting unit was spearheaded by skipper Dasun Shanka, who scored a whirlwind 75 off 31 balls but he’ll hope that his top-order- Bhanuka Rajapaksa [13], Soumya Sarkar [26], David Malan [25] and Sabbir Rahman [19], convert their starts unlike what they did in the last game. Al-Amin Hossain [3-14], Mujeeb Ur-Rahman [1-7] and Sunzumal Islam [2-4] will once again lead the bowling attack.
