Mohammad Amir failed to pick up a wicket and returned expensive figures in the match against Chattogram Challengers but the left-arm quick will probably be given another opportunity. Khulna Tigers are coming on the back of a win and we don't expect them to tweak their line-up for this upcoming match against Rajshahi Royals.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rilee Rossouw and Mushfiqur Rahim all had a good outing with the bat against Chattogram Challengers and the trio will hold the key for Khulna Tigers in terms of batting. Rahmanullah and Rossouw smashed quickfire fifties while Mushfiqur looked solid in his unbeaten knock of 28. Robbie Frylinck, Shafiul Islam and Aminul Islam were economical with the ball and also took a wicket each. Mohammad Amir had an off day but is expected to bounce back with a good performance.
Khulna Tigers are currently positioned fourth on the BPL 2019-20 points table with a win in their opening match against Chattogram Challengers played last week at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. After restricting the Challengers to 144/6, the Tigers cantered home to win the match by eight wickets and a little more than six overs to spare.

Rajshahi Royals went into their last match against Sylhet Thunder with an unchanged side and they are likely to remain unchanged for this clash as well. Hazratullah Zazai and Liton Das will continue to open the batting while Afif Hossain, who was promoted up the order last time, might bat at number three again.
Hazratullah Zazai, Liton Das and Shoaib Malik have all had good hits with the bat. Hazratullah struck a fine half-century in the first game against Dhaka Platoon while Liton has scored 83 runs in his two innings. When it comes to bowling, Rajshahi Royals will look to the likes of Abu Jayed, Taijul Islam and Alok Kapali to take wickets. Jayed took a couple against the Platoon while Kapali is coming off a three-wicket haul against Sylhet Thunder.
Rajshahi Royals have made a very good start to their campaign this season and are leading the league standings with wins in their first two BPL 2019 games. They secured a convincing nine-wicket victory over Dhaka Platoon in their opening match last Thursday before decimating Sylhet Thunder the next day by eight wickets.

Rajshahi Royals are brimming with confidence and are carrying momentum with them after winning back-to-back matches. They have an explosive batting line-up and even their bowlers are looking in good rhythm. Khulna Tigers may have done well against the Royals in the recent past, but we are backing the latter to win this time around.
