From a neutral’s perspective, this might not be the most exciting of games but both Sylhet Sixers and Khulna Titans have done decently with the bat despite their horrendous overall show. The bottom two sides will take center stage in Dhaka on Wednesday after the game between Rajshahi and Chittagong.

The Titans are most certainly out of contention to go all the way but the Sixers do stand a good chance despite winning just two games in seven. They still have to expect a lot of results to go their way as the tournament progresses and the only thing currently in their hand is their games, which they have to win at any cost.

It will be interesting to see what kind of a threat the Khulna Titans will pose as they have pretty much nothing to lose heading into the final four games of their campaign. They can very well damage some aspirations and maybe, they can kick-start the party-spoiling program with a win over Sixers.

Pitch and weather conditions

The pitch rarely remains same on double-header days during the second fixture and it usually tends to get a bit slow in Bangladesh. No rain is forecasted for the whole of Wednesday. Batsmen will find it difficult to score, but scores between 140-170 are very much possible.

Playing Combinations

Sylhet Sixers

Jason Roy will be replacing David Warner who will accompany Liton Das in the opening department. Nicholas Pooran, Sabbir Rahman and Alok Kapali will have to do the bulk of scoring in the middle order. Sandeep Lamichhane and Taskin Ahmed will be the key figures with the white cherry and they will be assisted by Mehedi Hasan Rana, Alok Kapali and Afif Hossain.

Khulna Titans
