Khulna Titans Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Chris Lynn was one of the recruitments in the team but he is highly unlikely to feature in the entire tournament due to shoulder injury. Allrounder Mahmudullah Riad who played a vital role for the Titans last season of BPL has been retained as the Icon while Michael Klinger has also been called up. Chadwick Walton was the team's last signing.
Key Players
The team's batting is going to rely largely on Rilee Rossow, Mahmudullah Riad and Dawid Malan. Mahmudullah scored 396 runs in the previous season to finish as the second-leading run-getter while Rossow had put up a good performance in this year's NatWest T20 Blast. Junaid Khan took 20 wickets last season - the most by any Khulna Titans bowler - and the team will look to him for taking wickets early on. Shadab Khan is another Pakistani bowler in the side and he too could be dangerous with his legspin in these conditions.
Recent Form
Khulna Titans, in their maiden appearance last year, put up an impressive performance in the league stage to finish second with seven wins and five defeats from twelve matches. They however ended up losing both their playoff fixtures and thus could not make it to the final.
Dhaka Dynamites Team News & Playing 11
Team News
There were no injury-related concerns for the Dhaka Dynamites at the time of writing. So the selectors are likely to have the luxury of picking from the entire squad for this forthcoming game.
Key Players
Dhaka Dynamites have a formidable batting lineup with the likes of Evin Lewis, Kumar Sangakkara and Joe Denly. Sangakkara scored the most runs for them last year and he will be eying a big knock here. Shakib Al Hasan, the skipper, is the world's best allrounder and the team will expect strong contributions from him with both bat and ball. In Mohammad Amir, Shahid Afridi and Sunil Narine, the Dynamites have a top-class bowling attack that is capable of troubling any batting lineup in the tournament.
Khulna vs Dhaka Head to Head
The two teams have faced each other three times in the BPL and all three of those matches were played in the previous season. While the Khulna Titans got the better of Dhaka Dynamites in both the league-stage encounters, the latter avenged their defeat by knocking the Titans out of the tournament with a 54-run victory in the first qualifier.
Khulna Titans vs Dhaka Dynamites Prediction
Both teams are strongly recruited with plenty of impact players in the side which means one can expect a cliffhanger of a contest on Sunday. Khulna Titans do have a slight edge as they have beaten the Dhaka Dynamites twice in three games. But having said that, their local players will need to chip in with good contributions if they are to tip the best team of the tournament. So although the Titans cannot be written off completely, we predict Dhaka Dynamites who are the more experienced side here to come up trumps in this clash.
Final Verdict: Back Dhaka Dynamites to beat Khulna Titans in the 4th match of BPL 2017.
