KHT vs SYL T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BPL 2024
The final group stage match of the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League sees Khulna Tigers take on Sylhet Strikers at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka on Friday evening. Depending on the result of the earlier game, the Tigers may still have an opportunity to finish in the top four whereas the Strikers have already been eliminated. Read on as we preview Match 42 of the tournament. The match begins on Friday 23rd February at 18:30 local time.
Khulna Tigers have had a very poor final third of the group stage and even if they were to scrape into the top four positions very few people would expect them to go far in the play-offs. We expect them to struggle against the Strikers in this match.
Sylhet Strikers had a very poor start to this year’s BPL and in spite of finishing the group stage strongly they are already out of the tournament. But the team should be high on confidence and they will fancy their chances of another victory in this game.

SYL Team News
No injuries were reported by the team management of Sylhet Strikers after their victory over Comilla Victorians in Match 37 and we expect to see the same XI to be selected for this game. Although there will be a temptation to offer appearances to inexperienced players, the Strikers will want to finish the campaign with another victory.
SYL Key Players
- Kennar Lewis - The 32 year old right-hander arrived in the tournament for the last game and immediately went on the attack in the opening position.
- Najmul Hossain Shanto - The left-hander had a brilliant competition last year but it just has not worked out for him in this campaign. However, he is a talented batter and will want to sign off with a big score.
- Benny Howell - It was a Player of the Match performance from the English all-rounder on Monday who scored 62 not out from 31 balls before taking 1/36.
- Tanzim Hasan Sakib - The young bowler looks like an excellent prospect for Bangladesh cricket over the next decade and he is already dismissing key batters like Littod Das, Towhid Hridoy and Andre Russell.
