BPL 2019, Match 24, Dhaka Dynamites vs Chittagong Vikings, Match Prediction – Weather Report, Pitch Conditions, Playing XIs and Live Streaming Details

The match between Dhaka Dynamites and Chittagong Vikings at the Sher-E-Bangla National Stadium has all the ingredients for a riveting encounter. Both teams have lost only one match each in this year’s Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and have arguably been two of the best sides in the T20 tournament. Earlier Dhaka lost against Rajshahi Kings but made an incredible comeback against the Sylhet Sixers.

The Shakib Al Hasan-led team would be satisfied that they will be returning to their home-ground and that is expected to give them an edge over their opponents. The Vikings emerged victorious in their last three matches and seem to have found the right combination going ahead in the event. They would be confident after beating Khulna Titans, but overhauling Dhaka won’t be a walk in the park for them.

Pitch and Conditions

It goes without saying that dew is likely to make life difficult for the bowlers in the evening matches. Spinners may find it hard to grip the wet ball. Therefore, the teams may field first and then go after the target. The batsmen of both Dhaka and Chittagong are in red-hot form and it won’t spring a surprise if a high-scoring affair unfolds in the second of tomorrow’s doubleheader.

Team Combination

Dhaka Dynamites

The Dynamites may replace off-spinner Aliss Islam with Shuvagata Hom, whose inclusion also strengthens the batting to some extent. Mizanur Rahman and Narine are the openers with Talukdar and Shakib at three and four respectively. Darwish Rasooli would bat at number five. Andre Russell is also in decent enough form. He will be needed with the ball along with Shakib, Rubel and Andrew Birch.

Probable XI

Mizanur Rahman, Sunil Narine, Rony Talukdar, Shakib Al Hasan (C), Darwish Rasooli, Andre Russell, Mohammad Naim, Nurul Hasan (wk), Andrew Birch, Rubel Hossain, Aliss Islam/Shuvagata Hom

Chittagong Vikings

The left-right duo of Mohammad Shahzad and Cameron Delport will open the batting. Yasir Ali and Mushfiqur Rahim are slotted to bat next. Provided Robbie Frylinck gets fit, the axe may come down on Najibullah Zadran as Dasun Shanaka was excellent with the bat in hand. Nayeem Hasan and Sunzamul Islam are the spin bowling options with Khaled Ahmed and Abu Jayed being the fast bowlers.

Probable XI

Mohammad Shahzad (wk), Cameron Delport, Yasir Ali, Mushfiqur Rahim (C), Dasun Shanaka, Najibullah Zadran/ Robbie Frylinck, Mosaddek Hossain, Nayeem Hasan, Sunzamul Islam, Khaled Ahmed, Abu Jayed
