Bangladesh T20 League

12th Match: CCH vs DHP

Preview

Match No. 12 of the Bangladesh T20 League 2023 will pit CCH and DHP against each other. The game will be held in Chattogram's Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium at 06:00 PM IST. Both teams are coming after losing their last match. CCH conceded 202 runs against FBA, while DHP got a target of 202. Both have played the same number of matches and have equal points on the tally; only NRR separates them. 

Nasir Hossain's Dominators defeated the Khulna by six wickets to win the competition's first match. However, their optimism would have been shaken by Sylhet's 62-run victory. The Strikers amassed 201 for eight after being sent to bat first.

Al-Amin Hossain took three wickets, but he also allowed 11.25 runs per wicket to be scored. In the run-chase, Mohammad Mithun and captain Hossain scored 42 and 44, respectively, but their efforts were in vain. As a result, the Dominators are listed fourth with a net run rate of -1.314 on the table.

On the other hand, the Challengers have had a wildly inconsistent start to the season. Before defeating the Tigers by nine wickets, they lost to the Strikers by an inning and eight wickets. But a 26-run loss to Barishal again put them on the back foot.

Barishal amassed a staggering 202 on the board, which caused the Challengers' bowlers to underperform drastically. Despite taking three lives, Abu Jayed only had a 12.25 economy rate. After Ziaur Rahman's 25-ball 47, the Challengers could only get themselves up to 176 for 4.

It will be an exciting match as both have similar conditions on the tally. They both want to advance their position in the tournament by winning this match.
