Dhaka Platoon Team News & Playing 11
DHP Team News
Tamim Iqbal returned to the team last time out, with Laurie Evans making way and Mominul Haque dropping down the order. Wahab Riaz was also back despite reports he was no longer available. The Pakistan paceman replaced Thisara Perera, and the fact Evans and Perera were left out only serves to highlight Dhaka Platoon’s strength in depth.
DHP Key Players
Tamim Iqbal: Anchored the batting with 34 at the top of the order last time out. He needed to score faster, in truth, but he has now scored 110 runs in three innings in this year’s BPL.
Mahedi Hasan: Led the way for Dhaka last time out, taking 2-9 – including bowling 18 dot balls – before hitting seven sixes on his way to 59 from 29 balls in a superb all-round performance.
Shahid Afridi: Still an icon in T20 cricket, he was expensive with the ball last time out but he remains a canny bowling option and an excellent hitter of the ball down the order, as he proved with his match-winning innings.
DHP Team Form
Dhaka Platoon have won three games so far, including their 24-run win when they last played Sylhet Thunder in BPL 2019. In the second phase, however, they started with defeat to Chattogram Challengers – posting 205 after Mominul Haque’s half-century, in reply to 221/4. Last time out, Mahedi Hasan took 2-9 and then smashed 59 from 29 balls as Dhaka chased 161 to beat Cumilla Warriors by five wickets.
Dhaka Platoon Predicted Playing 11
Tamim Iqbal, Anamul Haque (wk), Mominul Haque, Laurie Evans, Asif Ali, Thisara Perera, Shahid Afridi, Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Mahedi Hasan, Hasan Mahmud, Salauddin Sakil
Sylhet Thunder Team News & Playing 11
SLT Team News
Sylhet Thunder changed things around successfully last time out, with Abdul Mazid joining Andre Fletcher at the top of the order – albeit he fell shot and it was the partnership with Johnson Charles that won the game. Nevertheless, after such a dominant win, the Thunder could be unchanged this time out.
SLT Key Players
Andre Fletcher: Back to his explosive best last time out, having top-scored in the previous game too. Last time, however, he smashed an unbeaten 103 from 57 balls, including 11 fours and five sixes – his first T20 century, having hit 25 half-centuries in the format.
Johnson Charles: Scored much faster than Fletcher last time out, but fell just short of a century of his own when he posted 90 from 38 balls. His T20 record is very similar to Fletcher’s – he now has 24 T20 half-centuries and one century.
Krishmar Santokie: Another of the Thunder’s West Indian stars, he has taken six wickets across the last two matches to move to 179 in 116 T20 innings.
SLT Team Form
Sylhet Thunder lost their first four matches in a row, but got off the mark in sensational style last time out. Andre Fletcher (103*) and Johnson Charles (90) shared a 150-run partnership for the second wicket in 11.4 overs, as the Thunder went on to post 232/5. In reply, Krishmar Santokie took three wickets for the second consecutive game and Khulna Titans were all out for 152.
