Preview

KHT will cross swords with RR for the 10th match of the ongoing Bangladesh T20 League. The Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram will host the match on Friday,  January 13, 2023. 

The Khulna side will be looking forward to ending their losing streak when they clash against The Rangpur franchise in this match. The Yasir Ali-led side suffered two consecutive defeats in this competition and will be trying their best to end the losing streak in this match. 

Their batting department will depend on the services of Tamim Iqbal, Azam Khan, Sharjeel Khan and Yasir Ali to score a lot of runs.

The bowling lineup consists of Wahab Riaz, Paul van Meekeren, Mohammad Saifuddin and Nahidul Islam who are expected to bring early breakthroughs in the game. Eyes will be on Wahab Riaz as the left-arm pacer conceded only 21 runs in his four overs in the last match. 

On the other hand, Rangpur tasted defeat at the hands of Chattogram. Captain Nurul Hasan will be trying to put an enhanced performance from their side with the bat. The batting side will depend on the services of Mahedi Hasan, Sikandar Raza, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Naim and Rony Talukdar to do the work of scoring.
