The twenty-eighth match of the 2023 BPL edition is scheduled for January 28th, 2023, where Chattogram Challengers face off against Sylhet Strikers at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium at 18:30 local time.
Chattogram Challengers suffered yet another embarrassing loss in their preceding match against Barishal when they conceded a defeat from a winning position.

They have so far managed to register only 2 wins in their 8 games with a dismal net run rate of – 1.029.
On the other hand, Sylhet Strikers are currently well placed in the points table with a robust net run rate of 0.779.

Barring yesterday’s game, Strikers have maintained a very impressive win record this season and have convincingly won 6 out of 8 games. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Towhid Hridoy are doing their job with the bat at the top of the order whereas Mohammed Amir, Mashrafe Mortaza, and Imad Wasim have impressed us with the ball on a consistent basis.

CCH vs SYL Match Toss Prediction
After their preceding games played on the 27th of January, captains of both sides would have a better assessment of the pitch. They would be mindful of the slow and low nature of the pitch. An ideal decision on this surface would be to bat first and get enough runs on the board and let the slow bowlers unleash their wrath in the second half of the game.
CCH vs SYL, Sylhet International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
This will be a used pitch so the surface is expected to crumble early on while play is in progress. Spinners and slower bowlers are expected to get a lot of assistance from the track. Batsman will find it difficult to hit through the line due to the slow nature of the wicket. Hence, a high-scoring thriller is a bleak possibility at this stage.
Sylhet Weather Report
The forecast for Saturday’s game indicates no rain on the radar with clear skies. The average temperature is expected to be around the 28 C mark. However, the hances of humidity remain high in excess of 73%, so we can expect the players to toil hard.

Chattogram Challengers Team News & Playing 11
CCH Team News
Chattorgram have now lost 6 games and have only managed 2 wins so far in this tournament. Their win record is truly in shambles as they have conceded 4 consecutive losses in a row further deflating their morale and confidence as a team.
CCH Key Players
- Usman Khan – Usman Khan announced his presence in the ongoing BPL edition after registering a blistering knock of 103* in 58 balls that stunned Khulna. He is amassing runs at a healthy strike rate and has demonstrated his potential as a powerful hitter on a few other occasions as well. He is amongst the leading run-getters for the Challengers and has wreaked havoc at the top of the order. His contribution on top of the order has helped his side post commendable totals. Challengers would expect him to deliver his best performances on a more consistent basis.
- Max O’Dowd – Just like his counterpart Usman, Max O’Dowd also has a few runs under his belt this tournament. He played a valuable role in stitching a 141-run partnership with Usman Khan against Khulna that sealed the deal for the Challengers in a scintillating fashion. He has a decent batting average of 29.25 and has demonstrated that he can stick around when the going gets tuff. However, T20 is not always about hanging around, it is primarily about scoring briskly and as of now, his dismal striker rate of 105.41 needs a significant amount of improvement.
- Afif Hossain – We have seen a few glimpses of his batting prowess in this year’s BPL edition. Not known for his pinch-hitting abilities, Hossain enjoys the reputation of a skillful stroke player and has a canny ability to anchor his innings for his side. His innings of 69(52) against Dhaka Dominators helped Chattogram earn a handsome victory. He is currently averaging 38.2 with the bat this season and has a reasonable strike rate of 120.89. He will need to bring his A-game to lift his franchise from shambles and help them gain a competitive edge.
CCH Team Form
Challengers are all over the place and have lost 4 consecutive games. Judging their current performance, hopes of a remarkable turnaround appear a near impossibility.

Sylhet Strikers Team News & Playing 11
SYL Team News
Strikers would want to keep their winning momentum intact and would not fancy making a lot of changes to their lineup. But since they are well placed in the points table, we can expect to see some new faces as Sylhet Strikers think tank would be mulling to try more alternatives.
SYL Key Players
- Najmul Hossain Shanto – The 24-year-old has been one of the most reliable batters for Strikers of late. Shanto has a staggering batting average of over 40 and has been the leading run scorer for Strikers this season.

He was adjudged player of the match for his brilliant knock of 89* (66) against Barishal which came in a winning cause. Besides, his other knocks of 43 (41), 48 (40), and 57 (39) also helped his team register convincing victories by big margins.
- Towhid Hridoy - The 22-year-old youngster has hit the ground running this season. He has been piling up the runs on top at a phenomenal striker rate of around 148. Currently averaging just under 50, this youngster is one of the key members of Sylhet’s batting lineup. Hridoy is in dream form this season and has been crowned man of the match on three occasions against Fortune Barishal, Comilla Victorians, and Dhaka Victorians for his brilliance with the bat. All his top knocks came in a match-winning cause which helped Sylet chase and set competitive totals.
- Imad Wasim – The Pakistani spin-bowling all-rounder is a very canny customer known for his all-round abilities with the bat and the ball. Wasim has enjoyed a great deal of success with the ball this season picking up 7 wickets with an impressive economy rate of under 5.5. He has proven time and again that not only can he restrict the flow of runs but he can also rattle the opposition by striking at key times. Besides he is also useful low down the order with the bat and can use the long handle very well if the situation calls for it. He has been adjudged man of the match for his all-rounder performance of 3/20 and 11(20) against Dhaka Dominator leading his side to a clinical victory.
- Mohammed Amir - Known for his match-winning performances at the international level, Amir hasn’t failed to impress his fans in this year’s BPL edition. Although not a part of his national side anymore, the 30-year-old is bowling with venom and is the highest wicket-taker for his franchise this season. So far he has 10 scalps to his name and with an impressive economy rate of under 6 RPO, batsmen have often struggled to get a hold of him. His performance with the ball has been instrumental in helping his team defend competitive totals.
SYL Team Form
Strikers have a very formidable win record having won 6 out of 8 games in style. Their outing against Rangpur riders in the last game would have surely dented their confidence. However, the side looks well balanced both on paper and on the field.
