Bangladesh T20 League 2023

Match 30: KHT vs SYL

Preview

KHT and SYL will square off in the 30th game of the Bangladesh T20 League 2023 on Monday, January 30 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet. 

KHT, led by Yasir Ali, are placed fifth in the points table with four points and a net run rate of -0.208. They didn’t enjoy the best of starts, losing three games on the bounce. They found some momentum after beating RR and CC in consecutive games. 

However, losses against DD and CV have again fended them off. They had a decent chance of winning against the CV, but eventually fell four runs short. Skipper Yasir scored a whirlwind 30, but his courageous efforts couldn’t pay dividends. 

SYL, led by Mashrafe Mortaza, meanwhile are comfortably sitting at the top of the league standings with 14 points and a remarkable net run rate of +0.807. They will come into this game on the back of a seven wicket win against the CC. 

Najmul Hossain Shanto was adjourned the Player of the Match in the last game. His 44 ball 60 helped SYL chase down a target of 175 with two overs to spare.
