The Dhaka Dynamites have turned out to be a class apart from the other participants in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). They are unbeaten with four victories on the trot. With a Net Run Rate of +2.775, they have the edge over the other teams if they get tied on points at the end of the league stage. In the contest against Rangpur Riders, Dhaka showed that they can play under pressure.

The Kings, on the contrary, find themselves in a tricky situation as they are on the fifth position having lost three matches. Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s men would be disappointed that they couldn’t chase down a modest target against Khulna Titans. Their task against the Dynamites in their next match at Sylhet International Stadium won’t be easy by any means. Last time, they got thumped by Dhaka by 83 runs.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch on Tuesday’s afternoon encounter, undoubtedly, turned out to be a slow and low one. The track also deteriorated to some extent in the second innings as not many batsmen were able to get the measure of the conditions and the bowling. The spinners had their say throughout the match. Therefore, it won’t spring much of a surprise if the teams opt to bat first after winning the toss.

Team Combination

Dhaka Dynamites

Hazratullah Zazai and Sunil Narine are the openers with the right-handed Rony Talukdar at number three. The skipper Shakib Al Hasan will bat at number four and he would also need to step up with the ball. With Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Nurul Hasan and Shuvagata Hom in the lineup, the batting has enough firepower by any means. The onus would also be on the likes of Aliss Islam and Rubel Hossain.

Probable XI

Hazratullah Zazai, Sunil Narine, Rony Talukdar, Shakib Al Hasan (C), Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Nurul Hasan (wk), Shuvagata Hom, Naim Sheikh, Rubel Hossain, Aliss Islam.

Rajshahi Kings

Laurie Evans has been in awful form and the Kings may replace him with Qais Ahmed. Mominul and Mehidy will open the batting with Soumya Sarkar and Christian Jonker to follow. Zakir Hasan is the designated wicketkeeper. A lot would depend on Ryan ten Doeschate. Mustafizur Rahman, Kamrul Islam and Isuru Udana are the fast bowlers with Arafat Sunny and Mehidy being the spinners.

Probable XI

Mominul Haque, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (C), Soumya Sarkar, Christian Jonker, Zakir Hasan (wk), Laurie Evans/Qais Ahmed, Ryan ten Doeschate, Isuru Udana, Arafat Sunny, Kamrul Islam, Mustafizur Rahman
