Khulna Tigers had made a couple of changes to their line-up for the game against Rajshahi Royals; they replaced Saif Hassan and Robiul Haque by Najmul Hossain Shanto and Tanvir Islam. We expect them to retain that entire group of eleven despite having lost that game.
Rilee Rossouw: The South African is the tournament’s second-best batsman with 259 runs at an average of 86.33. Rossouw even struck a fifty in the reverse fixture against Sylhet Thunder.
Shahidul Islam: He has been the pick of the bowlers for Khulna Tigers with six wickets in five matches. There has not been a game this season where Shahidul has finished wicketless.
Mushfiqur Rahim: The captain has been the among the runs and is averaging more than 50. He scored 96 against Rajshahi Royals last week.
Khulna Tigers are currently fourth on the BPL 2019-20 points table with three wins and two losses from five league matches. They started off very well, winning their first three encounters, but have now lost all their momentum due to defeats in their last two matches - against Sylhet Thunder and Rajshahi Royals.

Sylhet Thunder dropped Monir Hossain and Naveen-ul-Haq in the last match against Dhaka Platoon. Sherfane Rutherford and Nazmul Islam were brought into the side as replacements and the duo could be retained for this upcoming clash against Khulna Tigers. The Thunder are not carrying any injuries and we expect them to go into this game with an unchanged line-up.
Johnson Charles: The West Indian is among the top five batsmen this BPL with 236 runs. He is having a strike-rate of 177.44 and is coming off a 45-ball 73 against Dhaka Platoon.
Andre Fletcher: The opener is averaging 50.33 and is striking at 157.29. Fletcher played a match-winning knock of 103 not-out from just 57 balls when Sylhet Thunder faced Khulna Tigers earlier in the season.
Krishmar Santokie: He is one of the tournament's top ten bowlers having picked seven wickets in six matches at an economy of 7.55. The left-arm quick had returned impressive figures of 3-37 in the reverse encounter.
Sylhet Thunder find themselves second from the bottom on the points table with just one win and five defeats from six matches. Their solitary victory of the season came against Khulna Tigers last week at Chattogram where their batsmen stole the show and handed the team a massive 80-run win.

Khulna Tigers and Sylhet Thunder have both won on two occasions in the five matches that have been played between them since the inaugural edition of the Bangladesh Premier League. One of those encounters had to be abandoned due to rain.
| Matches Played | KHT Won | SLT Won | Tie | No Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 1 |
Both the teams are coming on the back of a defeat in their last match and will be desperate for a win. Pressure is going to be a lot more on Sylhet Thunder who have looked rather flat this season, losing five of their first six matches. Khulna Tigers look slightly superior in the bowling department that has Mohammad Amir, Shafiul Islam and Mehidy Hasan. The Tigers got outplayed the last time they took on the Thunder and we expect them to avenge their defeat in this round 2 clash.
Final Verdict: Back Khulna Tigers to beat Sylhet Thunder.
