Chattogram Challengers haven’t looked like a competitive side in the entirety of the 2023 edition. As a result of which, they have only managed to win 2 out of their 10 games to date, being last in the points table with 4 points. They head into this context with a loss suffered in the previous game against the Comilla Victorians.
Dhaka Dominators are another side lying in the bottom half of the table, winning only 3 of their 11 games so far in the tournament. Having had only 6 points against their name, it has all been a series of dropping close contests for the Dominators. They enter this game after inching just short against Rangpur Riders in their previous encounter.
Chattogram Challengers will be looking to end their winning drought as they have lost their last 5 games in an excruciating manner. Given that this team has so much potential on paper, neither their batting nor bowling unit has been able to handle pressured situations well.
On the other hand, Dhaka Dominators might have 2 of their last 5 games yet inconsistency has been a roadblock for them as well in this 2023 season. Given that their captain, Nasir Hossain has stepped in to lead the side on both ends yet the other stars have failed to provide crucial support to him.
This pitch has posed formidable challenges for the top-order batsman. Helping the bowlers early on, each batsman requires time to set their groove on this wicket. Citing which, both the captains will be looking to field first after winning the toss at Shere Bangla National Stadium. The previous 3 showdowns have been won by the team batting second.
There would be light wind flowings on a sunny day during the match hours, giving the upper hand to the bowlers. Moreover, there would be no chance of rain affecting the game in Dhaka.

There are no injuries in either out of the dugouts to date. Given that both of them are lying in the bottom half of the points table, they are expected to play their best players on paper in the mentioned game as well.
The Challengers have been the dominant force over the Dhaka Dominators in the past as the former side has emerged victorious in 8 of the total 10 games against this opposition.

While the Challengers are at the last spot, Usman Khan has contributed well with the bat for his side. He has scored 264 runs at a strike of 144 so far, and will be key in Chattogram were to post a competitive total on the scoreboard.
Given that the Shere Bangla National Stadium will hold certain advantages for the spinners, Nihaduzzaman has all the potential to take clutch wickets for his side at regular intervals. This 24-year-old left-arm orthodox bowler has already taken team-high 9 wickets and will get a great opportunity to add to his tally.
Having scored 342 runs for the Dhaka Dominators, Nasir Hossain has smashed 8 sixes and 33 fours and batted at a healthy strike rate of 125. The captain has led from the front, taking 16 wickets as well.
Another spinner who can be of great use at this venue is Shoriful. He is coming into this game on the backs of 3 wickets in his previous game.
