BPL 2024: Match 2, CCH vs SYL Match Prediction: Who will win today’s BPL match between CCH vs SYL?

In a tale of contrasting fortunes, the Chattogram Challengers (CCH), who languished at the bottom of the points table in the previous season with a mere 3 wins out of 12 matches, are set to clash with last season’s table-toppers Sylhet Strikers (SYL), who emerged as runners-up in the Bangladesh Premier League 2023. The showdown is scheduled for the 2nd match of BPL 2024 at Dhaka's Shere Bangla Stadium on Friday, January 19.

Both squads have undergone significant changes; Challengers bid farewell to 6 all-rounders, while Strikers revamped their bowling lineup, parting ways with Mohammad Amir, Rubel Hossain, and Mohammad Irfan. The spotlight is on whether Sylhet Strikers, armed with a revamped bowling attack, can maintain their dominance or if the absence of the experienced trio will be felt. In their previous encounter, Challengers struggled, posting a meagre 89 for 9 while batting first against Sylhet. With new additions in the batting department, Chattogram will be optimistic for a stronger start this season.

Chattogram Challengers have bolstered their batting lineup with the inclusion of powerful hitters, making notable changes from the previous season, which saw the departure of several all-rounders, including skipper Afif Hossain. Shuvagta Hom, a retained batting all-rounder, carries the responsibility of spearheading the run-scoring department for the team. His prowess with the bat makes him a key figure as Chattogram will look for a dynamic batting display in the upcoming season.

Notably, Sri Lanka's leg-break bowling all-rounder, Dushan Hemantha, emerges as a key player to watch in this squad.
