FBA vs SYL T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BPL 2024
Match 35 of the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League sees Fortune Barishal go head to head against Sylhet Strikers on Saturday afternoon. Barishal are in third place with 10 points with the Strikers four points behind them in sixth place. Read on as we preview this fixture. This game begins at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on February 17th at 13:30 local time.
Fortune Barishal are in excellent form and have had no problem beating Durdanto Dhaka in both of their last two games. They can expect a much tougher task against an in-form Sylhet Strikers and this should be a good contest but we think that Barishal will have enough to win.
Sylhet Strikers have won their last two games by 5-wicket margins but both of those victories were against the out of form Khulna Tigers and Durdanto Dhaka. They will need to put on one of their best displays of the season in this fixture if they are to keep up their winning run.
