Litton Das is in good form, and the side will expect a good start from him and Sunil Narine. They will need a good show from Towhid Hridoy, Mahidul Islam Ankon and Moeen Ali in the middle order.

Fortune Barishal Preview

It was a heartbreaking loss for Tamim Iqbal's side in the last game against the Rangpur Riders. They went down by one wicket in a game. The side needs a big win in this game to finish ahead of the Khulna Tigers and reach the next round. They face a stiff challenge, and Iqbal will need a strong show from his players.   

Tamim Iqbal must lead from the front and deliver a good start in this game from Tom Banton. Kyle Mayers did well in the last game, but the side will need good performances from Soumya Sarkar and Mushfiqur Rahim. Mahmudullah and Mehidy Hasan Miraz will look to add runs in the lower middle order.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Dhaka will have overcast skies, and we may see rain during the game. The wicket shall be flat, but there is slowness on the surface. Batsmen must be watchful and play to the merit of the ball. The side batting first in this game would need 170 runs on the board to defend it under poor bowling conditions.

CV vs BRSAL Pitch Report

The surface at Shere Bangla National Stadium is known for being flat, and batsmen have done well here in the past, being able to play their strokes freely. Fast bowlers have a tough time on this track with little to aid them. Spinners enjoy the track as the odd ball can stop and surprise the batsmen.

Toss: To Bowl

In the past, most teams have won games chasing the score here, and the weather conditions will favor the side batting second. The wicket is good to chase, especially during this time of the year. The side winning the toss here would invariably choose to bowl first.
