Bangladesh T20 League

9th Match: CCH vs FBA

Preview

The 9th match of the Bangladesh T20 League between CCH and FBA will be played at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram, on Friday, 13th January 2023, at 01:30 PM IST. Both teams have played two matches till now and have one win and one loss in their account. Barishals are in third place, while Challengers are in fifth. Despite having the same points, only Net Run Rate separates them (CCH -1.433; FBA -0.026).

In their last match, Shuvagata Hom's squad defeated the KHT by a margin of nine wickets, completing a remarkable comeback. They lost badly against Sylhet Strikers in their first match. Hom wants them to score runs since they are facing one of the strongest teams in the competition and the top order seems strong.

Usman Khan made a hundred in the last game and combined with Max O'Dwood to put up 141 runs; the duo will want to do the same on Friday. They have a robust middle order thanks to Hom, Irfan Sukkur, and Afif Hossain. Unmukt Chan, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, and Mrittunjoy Chowdhury are expected to make early runs for the team in this game.

After bowling well in the last game, Shuvagata Hom and Abu Jayed will try to help the squad instantly. The Barishal batters will come at them hard, so Mehedi Hasan Rana and Mrittunjoy Chowdhury need to focus on their line and length. Ziaur Rahman and Vijayakanth Viyaskanth expand the team's bowling options.

The team of Shakib al Hasan earned its first victory of the year by defeating the RR by six wickets in the previous match. The squad performed a professional show, and its leading players fared well. To advance on the points chart, Hasan would hope to capitalize on this momentum by defeating the Challengers.

Given that Chaturanga de Silva and Anamul Haque are opening players, they must perform well at the top. Next, the team would aim for runs in the middle order from Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Ibrahim Zadran, who scored runs in the previous game. Shakib, Mahmudullah, and Karim Janat are the next three in the sequence and have strong strengths.

Shakib has shown substantial ball control, but he will need Khaled Ahmed's assistance to succeed in this match. Mehidy Hasan Miraz performed well in the last game and will aim to bowl tight lines in the middle overs with de Silva and Ebadot Hossain. Kamrul Islam and Karim Janat increase the team's bowling capacity.
