There was only one change for Khulna Tigers in the last game and we expect them to keep any changes to a minimum ahead of this match. The Tigers are in fine form and come into this clash without any injury worries in the squad as Evin Lewis has been declared fit ahead of this match.
KHT Key Players
- Anamul Haque - The skipper struck four fours and two sixes as he bounced back brilliantly from making a duck in the last game of the tournament.
