Bangladesh T20 League

13th Match: DHP vs SYL

Preview

The thirteenth match of the Bangladesh T20 League will be played between DHP vs SYL in Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on 16th January, Monday, 2023, at 01:00 PM IST. DHP has only won one of their three games. They are ranked sixth with 2 points and a net run rate of -1.205. On the other hand, the Strikers have 8 points and a +2.072 net run rate.

The Dominators recently lost against the Chattogram by an 8-wicket margin. The Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium had a nice surface; therefore, the Dominators decided to bat first, although they could only score 158-6. In 17.4 overs, the Challengers comfortably exceeded the mark.

None of the other hitters could advance except for Usman Ghani, who finished first with 47 off 33 balls. Their top scorer this season is their captain Nasir Hossain, who has 110 runs in three games with a strike rate of 118.27. None of the other hitters have amassed more than 100 runs this season. In actuality, no team hitter has reached fifty runs this year. The moment has come for individuals like Soumya Sarkar and Mohammad Mithun to have an effect.

Al-Amin Hossain has been the Dominators' most effective bowler, collecting seven wickets in three games while maintaining a high economy of 10.45. Both left-arm spinner Arafat Sunny (4 wickets at 5.80) and Taskin Ahmed (3 wickets at an economy of 6.34) have maintained their superb form in the middle overs.

The top-of-the-table Strikers have had the ideal season, winning four straight games. They just defeated the Dhaka Dominators by a commanding 62 runs. The Strikers, who were given the opportunity to bat first, scored 201-8 before dismissing Dhaka for 139. Towhid Hridoy led the team to score an outstanding 84 off 46 balls. He has scored 195 runs in 4 games with a strike rate of 166.66, making him the season's top run-getter. Najmul Hossain Shanto is the second-best hitter for the Strikers this season, with 167 runs in 4 games at a strike rate of 118.43. He scored 57 (off 39 balls) in the game.

Although Mushfiqur Rahim and Thisara Perera have had a quiet season, Sylhet would be unbeatable if the veteran bats find their form.

Mashrafe Mortaza, the captain, has taken the initiative, collecting seven wickets in 4 games for an economy of 7.46. Mohammad Amir, a speedster from Pakistan, has been outstanding, taking six wickets in 4 innings at a mere 4.93 economy. Imad Wasim, a left-arm spinner, has also been efficient, scoring 6.35 runs per over and claiming four wickets.

Match Prediction

Dhaka and Sylhet have played each other five times in the past, with the Dominators winning three and the Strikers winning two. The Strikers are in tremendous form this year and have thrashed the Dominators once. On the other hand, the DHP have had trouble as a batting unit and are unlikely to defeat Sylhet. Hence, we are backing Sylhet to win this game.
