Read on for our betting tips, betting odds and match prediction for Chittagong Vikings vs Khulna Titans, Bangladesh Premier League 2016....
The last two matches played at the Shere Bangla have been won by the team that has batted second. The wicket was relatively easier to bat on in the second period of play and so the toss-winning team may want to chase here. Chittagong Vikings won their last match while chasing and so we suggest betting on them if they bat second again.
Chris Gayle has joined the team and will be making his second appearance of the season in this match. There are no injuries in the team.
Chris Gayle hit 40 in his first game and he will be the key batsman alongside opening partner cum skipper Tamim Iqbal who has struck three fifties already in the season. Off-spinner Mohammad Nabi is showing some serious form with the ball having taken 16 wickets and currently being the tournament's highest wicket-taker.
After losing four matches in a row, Chittagong Vikings have now won as many matches in succession. With wins in their previous four games, they have made a fantastic comeback into the competition.
Tamim Iqbal (c), CH Gayle, Anamul Haque (wk), Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Nabi, Jahurul Islam, Saqlain Sajib, Subashis Roy, Zakir Hasan, Imran Khan and Taskin Ahmed.
The team is in good physical condition with all the players fit and match-ready. No major changes are expected in the side for this match.
Skipper Mahmudullah and opener Riki Wessels are the key men for the Titans in their batting lineup. The former has scored twice in 30s in his last two innings. Fast bowlers Shafiul Islam and Junaid Khan are doing an excellent job with the ball with 16 and 12 wickets each from nine games. Islam looks to be the more threatening of the two.
They started off well with five wins from their first six fixtures but their progress graph has taken a dip since the last few games. They have been defeated twice in their previous three games with the most recent one being lost to Rajshahi Kings.
MH Wessels, Hasanuzzaman, Shuvagata Hom, Mahmudullah (c), N Pooran (c), Ariful Haque, KK Cooper, Taibur Rahman, Junaid Khan, Mosharraf Hossain and Shafiul Islam.
Chittagong Vikings and Khulna Titans played the first four matches between them under the monikers Chittagong Kings and Khulna Royal Bengals respectively. Three of these were won by the former while one was won by the latter. The two teams have met this season with Khulna Titans winning the first of the double-headers.
Chittagong Vikings are on a winning streak and now with the swashbuckling West Indian batsman Chris Gayle on their roster, they are favorites to win this contest at 1.57 with bet365 and 1.51 with 1xbet. Khulna Titans are suddenly struggling with their batting and will need to resolve this issue ahead of this match. They are outsiders at 2.60 with bet365 and 2.68 with betfair.
Chittagong Vikings were looking down and out at the start of the tournament but they seem to have undergone a drastic transformation with four wins from their last four games. With a such a sudden shift in gears, the team will be heading into this match high on confidence.
Khulna Titans, on the contrary, will be very disappointed with the way they let the previous match slip out of their hands. Batting appears to be their biggest cause for concern with only their captain Mahmudullah showing some consistency. They did, however, beat the Vikings in their first face-off this season and it might just give them a slight psychological advantage. They know if they get rid of Gayle early on, they will be well and truly in the hunt.
