Chittagong Vikings are favourites to win
Chittagong Vikings and Khulna Titans both suffered defeats at the hands of Rangpur Riders in their previous fixtures, and that too by the same margin of nine wickets. With one win and one loss each in the tournament, the two teams will now go head-to-head at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur in what will be the eighth match of the Bangladesh Premier League 2016. The match will be played on November 12 and live action will begin at 2 PM local time.
Read on for our betting tips, betting odds and match prediction for Chittagong Vikings vs Khulna Titans, Bangladesh Premier League 2016....
They rely heavily on their top-order to come good with the bat. Tamim Iqbal got a quick-fire fifty in the first match and the skipper looks set for another one come Saturday. Shoaib Malik has scored a total of 72 runs in the two games and he can be expected to do well here. However, the team will need some more effort from Dwayne Smith and Anamul Haque who haven't been able to convert their starts into something substantial.
Mohammad Nabi will definitely be their go-to bowler for picking up the wickets and containing the Khulna batsmen. The offspinner ran through the Comilla Victorians lineup in the opening game to bag a four-for and we predict him to cause the most problems for the opposition. He is likely to be introduced early on and Khulna Titans could find themselves in trouble if they don't bat well against him.
They haven't been able to impress with the bat so far and their performance in the last match was an absolute disaster. The entire lineup folded for just 44 runs inside 11 overs with Shuvagata Hom being the only batsman to score in double digits. Mahmudullah and Riki Wessels will need to play a big innings if the Titans are to challenge the Vikings.
Junaid Khan will be the key in their bowling attack. The Pakistani fast bowler has struck early for the Titans in both the games and he has a strong chance of striking early against the Vikings as well. He notched up a four-wicket haul against Rajshahi Kings in the first match and we predict him to take the most wickets in this match. Mahmudullah and Shafiul Islam will be the others to watch out for.
Chittagong Vikings are short favorites to win this match with bet365 at 1.61 while Khulna Titans due to their embarrassing show in their last match are distant outsiders at 2.30. Three of the five matches played this year have been won by the second-batting team. So betting on the Vikings should be the way to go if they will be batting second.
Both the teams will be going into this match with defeats against the Rangpur Riders in their previous matches. However, looking back at the manner in which they were defeated, the Khulna Titans will be the more disappointed of the two. They were horrible with the bat and will need to sort out their batting issues quickly ahead of this match.
Bowling is certainly their strength and the only way they could overcome the Chittagong Vikings is by having a good day with the ball. But the Vikings have an advantage in terms of head-to-head stats. They have won three of the four games in the past which includes wins in the last two.
Chittagong Vikings are looking a better team than Khulna Titans this season and we therefore predict them to win this match.
