19th Match: CCH vs KHT

Preview

The 19th Clash of the Bangladesh T20 League will occur between CCH vs KHT in Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram on Friday, 19th of January, 2023, at 01:30 PM IST. Chattogram In the five games they have played so far, they have been very erratic and haven't been able to tie together back-to-back victories. They would hope to obtain a win and maintain their winning run after a defeat in their most recent game.

Khulna also had an unwilling start, suffering three straight losses. However, after winning their most recent game, they'll aim to capitalize on that success and string together several victories. This will boost team spirit and get them closer to the playoffs.

CCH has had a highly uneven record, with two victories and three defeats in their last five games. As a result, their standing on the points table could be better, in addition to their rhythm. They would have liked to be further up the points table, but they were still in the center of the table.

Usman Khan was lost for a duck when they elected to bat first. The hitters needed help getting started and had timing and strike rate issues. They could reach 135 runs because of Shuvagata Hom's quick-fire 37 off 23 balls.

The bowling department struggled to hold onto such a low score, but they were unsuccessful. Only taking four wickets wasn't enough to stop the opposition from surpassing the total in 17.3 overs. Malinda Pushpakumara took two wickets for 33 runs in his four overs.

After three consecutive defeats, the KHT would be happy with their victory in the most recent game. Khulna will get a much-needed lift from the win, hoping it will help them resurrect their campaign.

Khulna would have been quite happy with their bowling performance after choosing to bowl first and winning the toss. Things could not have gone better for them after bowling out the opponents for 129 runs. Wahab Riaz stole the show by taking four wickets and conceding just 14 runs.

It was crucial to start strong since they were pursuing such a modest target. They completed the run chase in 18.2 overs and only lost one wicket. Tamim Iqbal scored 60 off 47 balls, which was a career-high. They would benefit much from this performance.
