The pitch at Dhaka will be a balanced one. The pacers got excellent help with the new ball here, and spinners too, have got some help off the deck. The batters, once set, can play their shots. Scores in the range of 150-170 are expected in this game. Teams will prefer chasing. Dew will be a factor in this match.
It will be a clear day with no chance of rain. The temperature will be around 23-24 degrees Celsius during the game.

Samiullah Shinwari opened in the last game but his current form is horrible with both bat and ball. He will be our player to avoid in this game, especially for small leagues.
Based on current form, team balance, and depth, Chittagong Kings will be the clear favourite to win this game. They’ve been in top form in the last couple of games and the Strikers have struggled badly as a team this season.
