DHP Team News
Luis Reece, Ariful Haque and Asif Ali all came into the team last time out as Dhaka looked to put defeat to Chattogram Challengers behind them. Reece picked up a wicket and Ali hit an unbeaten half-century, and Dhaka could stick with a winning line-up. Shahid Afridi has been ruled out of the fourth phase of fixtures due to injury.

Tamim Iqbal: Returned to form with 68* in the win against Rajshahi Royals, having also hit 60* against Sylhet Thunder in Dhaka’s previous win. He has 293 runs in seven matches so far.
Wahab Riaz: Took his career-best T20 bowling figures of 5-8 last time out, to move to ten wickets in the tournament so far and 285 in T20 cricket in total.
Asif Ali: Issued a reminder of what he is capable of as he slotted in for Shahid Afridi last time out and hit 55* from just 28 balls. It was his 12th T20 half-century (he also has one 100) and his strike rate is now 149.02.

Dhaka Platoon have won three of their last four BPL 2019-20 matches, most recently bouncing back from a below-par defeat to Chattogram Challengers with a dominant victory against Rajshahi Royals. They posted just 124/9 against Chattogram and Wahab Riaz’s 2-18 could not prevent a six-wicket defeat.
But Dhaka bounced back in style as Tamim Iqbal and Asif Ali hit unbeaten half-centuries in a total of 174/5 before Wahab Riaz’s stunning 5-8 from 3.4 overs (including a triple-wicket maiden) helped bowl the Royals out for a round 100.
