Bangladesh T20 League

6th Match: CCH vs KHT

Preview

CCH will face off against KHT in the 6th match of the ongoing Bangladesh T20 League on Monday, January 9. The game is scheduled at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. 

Chattogram is sitting at the bottom of the points table with a loss in the very first match they played this season. The first opponent that they faced was Sylhet. That match was a low-scoring thriller where SYL managed to win comfortably in a low-scoring encounter. CCH while batting first, posted a total of only 89 runs at the loss of 9 wickets. Only Afif Hossain managed to score 25 runs off 23 balls but received almost no support from the other end which ended their inning in such a humiliating manner. Rejaur Rahman Raja made it difficult for the Chattogram batters. He struck four times in that match along with ex-Pakistan ace bowler Mohammad Amir who took 2 wickets to restrict the opponents to an extremely low-scoring target. 

Shylet opener Najmul Hussain Shanto scored 43 runs off 41 balls along with Zakir Hasan doing the rest of the work and finished off the game in just 12.3 overs with 8 wickets to spare. 

On the other side, the Khulna franchise is facing Dhaka in the 3rd match of the league at the time of our writing.
