FBA Team News
This will be the final match that Fortune Barishal will have to negotiate without the Pakistan pair of Abbas Afridi and Fakhar Zaman who are both involved in Pakistan’s tour of New Zealand which concludes on Sunday. No changes are expected ahead of this game.
FBA Key Players
- Tamim Iqbal- the skipper will have been stumped after making 35 runs from 24 balls against Rangpur Riders but he set an attacking tone at the top of the order.
- Soumya Sarkar- the left-hander has played in 157 international games for his country and hit 169 in an ODI against Bangladesh last month. He began this BPL with a score of 1 so will be keen to contribute in this match.
- Khaled Ahmed- the 31 year old has played Test cricket and ODIs for Bangladesh but more performances like Match 3 where he took 4/31 could see him become an all-format international.
- Mehidy Hasan Miraz- the bowling all-rounder conceded only 13 runs on this pitch on Saturday as well as dismissing Mohammad Nabi and Shamim Hossain.

KHT Team News
Mohammad Wasim should be available for Khulna Tigers’ next game after this one to give him time to travel from New Zealand and acclimatise to the conditions in Bangladesh. After their high level performance in Match 4, we expect to see the same XI.

- Mahmudul Hasan Joy- with a target of only 122, the right-hander was able to bat sensibly against Chattogram Challengers but we may see a higher strike-rate in this clash.
- Nahidul Islam- across the opening matches of BPL 2024, no other bowler has been as impressive as the off-spinner who had taken his four wickets before the end of the 11th over on Saturday.
- Faheem Ashraf- the Pakistan international bowling all-rounder took 3/20 against Chattogram Challengers before hitting 15 not out from 8 balls.

Khulna Tigers may struggle to replicate the high level of their bowling performance from the last game as it was so impressive. Overall, they were strong in their opening game.
Khulna Tigers Predicted Playing 11
Anamul Haque (c), Evin Lewis, Shai Hope (wk), Afif Hossain, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Habibur Rahman Sohan, Faheem Ashraf, Nahidul Islam, Nasum Ahmed, Mukidul Islam, Oshane Thomas
