Will Titans Overcome the Kings to Make the Finals Day?
Dhaka Dynamites are the first finalist of Bangladesh Premier League 2016 and they are all set to face the winner of Qualifier 2 to be played between Khulna Titans and Rajshahi Kings. This penultimate battle of the season is scheduled to played on December 7 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur. Live action starts at 5:45 PM local time.
Toss
Toss is going to be a crucial factor in this game. There is a good chance of dew settling in later on in the evening which will give the batting side an advantage. Moreover, since 10 of the last 16 games played at the Shere Bangla have been won by the side batting second, the team that wins the toss may prefer to chase. Rajshahi Kings will make a good betting option if they are chasing as they have won three of their previous four games while batting second.

Khulna Titans Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The team will be coming into this match with a clean bill of health as none of their players have been reported to be suffering from injury.
Key Players
Khulna Titans will bank on their skipper Mahmudullah to get the big runs for them. Averaging 34, he has scored 374 runs from 13 games this season and is currently the tournament's second-highest run-getter. Fast bowlers Shafiul Islam and Junaid Khan will be the two primary weapons in their bowling attack. The latter has taken the most wickets in BPL 4 and we predict him to deliver a good performance against Rajshahi Kings.
Recent Form
Khulna Titans will be coming into this match having faced defeats in four of their previous five fixtures. They suffered yet another batting collapse to go down by 54 runs in the first qualifier against Dhaka Dynamites.
Titans Predicted XI
-
ADS Fletcher, Hasanuzzaman, Mahmudullah (c), BAC Howell, Abdul Mazid, N Pooran (wk), Ariful Haque, Shuvagata Hom, Mosharraf Hossain, Junaid Khan and Shafiul Islam.
Rajshahi Kings Team News & Playing 11
Team News
No major changes are expected to take place in the side and they are likely to go in with the same playing eleven that played Chittagong Vikings in the eliminator.
Key Players
Top-order batting is going to depend mainly on Sabbir Rahman and Mominul Haque who are among the leading run-scorers for Rajshahi Kings while skipper Darren Sammy is a vital cogwheel in the middle order. Abul Hasan who has taken the most wickets for the side will be spearheading the pace attack while Mehedi Hasan Miraz will be their best spin option.
Recent Form
Rajshahi Kings have won six out of their previous eight matches and the three wicket-win over Chittagong Vikings in the eliminator is going to make then even more optimistic of a final berth when they take on the Titans in the second qualifier.
Kings Predicted XI
-
Nurul Hasan (wk), Mominul Haque, Afif Hossain, Sabbir Rahman, SR Patel, JEC Franklin, DJG Sammy (c), Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Farhad Reza, Nazmul Islam and KOK Williams.
Titans vs Kings Head-to-Head
Only two games have been played between Khulna Titans and Rajshahi Kings in the past and both were played this season. While the former won the first game by three runs, the latter emerged victorious in the next one by nine runs.
Titans vs Kings Betting Odds
Betfair and bet365 both have Rajshahi Kings as favorites to win this second qualifier at 1.71 and 1.66 respectively. But the team have had far too many batting collapses this season to render them a safe betting option. Darren Sammy seems to be the only one in form at the moment and if he too fails to perform on the big day, the Kings will find themselves in a big hole to crawl out from. Khulna Titans have been the more balanced unit and in our opinion, they look an attractive bet at 2.38 with betfair and 2.20 with bet365.
Titans vs Kings Prediction
The two teams are evenly matched in terms of head-to-head record and performances this year at the Shere Bangla. There is plenty of talent on either side which further narrows the gap between them. So a thrilling contest is very much likely on the cards. However, unlike Rajshahi Kings who are way too dependent on their skipper Sammy, Khulna Titans don't rely only on one player to win the match for them. In Mahmudullah, Junaid Khan and Shafiul Islam, they have the ammunition to take down a team which is pretty much looking like a one-man army. Though the match could go all the way down to the final over, we feel the Titans have a slightly better chance of making it to the finals.
Final Verdict: We recommend betting on Khulna Titans to win this match.
