The Khulna Tigers come into this match unbeaten having won their first three matches. As a result, they sit second in the table behind only the Chattogram Challengers who are top by virtue of playing more games. With no injury news this could mean an unchanged side.
Rilee Rossouw and Captain Mushfiqur Rahim have been the standout batsmen this season for the Khulna Tigers. Rossouw hit 64 runs against the Chattogram Challengers, not out, and went for 42 against the Rajshahi Royals, hitting 12 fours and 3 sixes across the two games. Rahim hit 28 not out against the Challengers and was just 4 runs shy of a century against the Royals. Rahim has amassed 13 fours and 4 sixes across both games.
The Khulna Tigers also boast a very balanced bowl attack as no one individual has stood out this season in terms of wickets taken. The most wickets taken by any of their bowlers in any of single game so far is the 2 taken by Mohammad Amir against the Rajshahi Royals. Frylinck, and Shahidul Islam have taken a wicket in each match while Shafiul Islam and Aminul Islam claimed a wicket each from the Chattogram Challengers.
The Khulna Tigers have been in scintillating form this BPL season having won all their games so far. They beat top of the table Chattogram Challengers in their first match, by 8 wickets. They followed that up with a second victory against the Rajshahi Royals, beating them by 5 wickets. In their most recent match, they beat the Rangpur Rangers by 8 wickets with 45 balls remaining. They’re second in the table, but only behind the Chattogram Challengers, a team they’ve already beaten, as they’ve played double the number of games.

Due to losing all their matches to date, Sylhet Thunder might look to mix things up in this match. There is no fresh injury news to report but the Thunder may need to have a tactical reshuffle. Whether this happens remains to be seen.
Sylhet Thunder have a strong top order in the form of Johnson Charles and Andre Fletcher of the West Indies. They also have Mohammad Mithun who will be expected to score some runs for the Thunder. Sylhet Thunder also have some very capable all-rounders, with captain Mosaddek Hossain, Sherfane Rutherford and Sri Lanka's Jeevan Mendis all in the line-up.
Sylhet Thunder desperately need something from this match as they’ve lost their first four matches. They lost to the Chattogram Challengers by 5 wickets with 6 balls remaining in their first match, they lost to Rajshahi Royals by 8 wickets with 55 balls remaining in their second game, they lost to Dhaka Platoon by 24 runs in their third game and the Chattogram Challengers again by 4 wickets with 12 balls remaining in their last game. Their form and confidence are extremely low going into a tough match. However, the Tigers will have played the day before this match and be slightly more tired.
Rony Talukdar, Andre Fletcher, Shafiqullah, Mohammad Mithun, Johnson Charles, Mosaddek Hossain, Nayeem Hasan, Delwar Hossain, Krishmar Santokie, Nazmul Islam and Ebadat Hossain.
In recent years, these sides have faced each other 4 times. The Khulna Tigers have won twice, Sylhet Thunder once and the match has been abandoned once.

Sri Lanka remain outsiders because of their inexperienced squad, but their odds have shortened considerably thanks to their two wins so far.
With both teams in such differing form it’s extremely hard to see Sylhet Thunder getting a result against the Khulna Tigers. Khulna Tigers have won their first two games and look confident and dangerous, whereas Sylhet Thunder have lost all four of their matches to date and look low on confidence.
