Chittagong Vikings vs Dhaka Dynamites Prediction

Dhaka Team News

Dhaka Dynamites went in with a slightly bowling-heavy side in the last game against Rangpur Riders but it did not pay off. Kieron Pollard, Shahadat Hossain and Qazi Onik were brought into the team with Darwish Rasooli, Mohammad Naim and Mohor Sheikh making way for them. For this upcoming encounter against Chittagong Vikings, the Dynamites could bring in fast bowler Andrew Birch at the expense of Qazi Onik and Mizanur Rahman in place of opener Hazratullah Zazai who has not been performing too well of late.

Dhaka Key Players

Shakib Al Hasan is undoubtedly the linchpin for the Dhaka Dynamites. The allrounder has not only scored the most runs for them (214 runs) but he is also the tournament's second-highest wicket taker with 17 wickets in nine matches. Shakib was the pick of the bowlers in his team's last meeting against Chittagong Vikings with brilliant figures of 4-16 and the skipper will look to replicate that performance. Another key man with the bat for the Dynamites is Rony Talukdar who has hit a couple of half-centuries and is coming off an impressive knock of 52 runs against Rangpur Riders. Andre Russell and Kieron Pollard are dangerous middle-order batsmen who can change the course of the game with their power-hitting. While Shakib is the team's biggest hope with the ball, there will also be high expectations from Rubel Hossain who has taken 10 wickets in the season at a pretty decent economy of 7.

Dhaka Recent Form

Dhaka Dynamites have won five and lost four out of the nine matches they have played so far this BPL and are currently occupying the fourth position in the league standings with ten points. They made a perfect start to their campaign, winning their first four matches in a row, but fell off the radar thereafter. The Dynamites have now faced defeat in each of their last three matches and it was their bowling that let them down in the previous game against Rangpur Riders.
