Bangladesh T20 League

23rd Match: FBA vs SYL

Preview

The 23rd match of the Bangladesh T20 League will be played between FBA and SYL. Both the franchises have already locked horns in an encounter this season and will pad up for yet another battle. The match is scheduled at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Tuesday, January 24.

While the Sylhet franchise is leading the points table with five wins and one loss in their six matches, the Barishal side is just below them with the same number of wins and losses but just a slightly lesser Net Run Rate. 

The last time they met was in the 4th match of this league where SYL managed a win by 4 wickets. Barishal while batting first posted a total of 194 runs with a loss of 7 wickets. Shakib Al Hasan scored 67 runs off just 32 balls to put their team in the driver's seat. Masrafe Mortaza plucked three scalps but was unsuccessful in stopping the run flow.

But who knew there was something more incredible waiting their way! The top five batters barring Colin Ackermann were phenomenal with the bat. While Najmul Hossain Shanto and Zakir Hasan scored 40+ runs. Towhid Hridoy drafted 55 runs off just 34 balls to provide firepower to their side. Skipper Mushfiqur Rahim and Thisara Perera also played small but valuable cameos of 23 off 11 and 20 off 9 to bring a huge victory to the Sylhet side.

Pitch & Weather Report

The Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka is not the best T20 pitch that short-format cricket lovers may expect but it will surely provide a balance between the batting and the bowling side. The batters can count on their timings and the bowlers can make use of the stickiness of the surface. 

The weather in Dhaka is predicted to be sunny on Saturday with a maximum temperature of 28 and a minimum of 17 degrees Celsius. The wind speed will be 10 kmph with a humidity of 61%.
