CCH Team News
Five players who were part of the Challengers team in their opening game defeat to Sylhet Strikers, Mehedi Maruf, Darwish Rasooli, Al-Amin, Nihadussaman and Malinda Pushpakumara, were replaced ahead of the win over Khulna Tigers. We would be surprised to see any changes after such a strong performance in Match 6.
CCH Key Players

- Abu Jayed - The fast medium opening bowler averages 23.11 per wicket in this format. He has 39 wickets at international level and will always be a wicket taking threat.
