Khulna Titans Team News & Playing 11
Khulna Team News
Khulna Titans, having shown some big improvement, selected an unchanged team for the third consecutive game last time out. There are likely to be changes this time, however. Subashis Roy was expensive once again and his place be under threat, while Ariful Haque and Najmul Hossain Shanto have lacked consistent runs. Lasith Malinga could return in one of the four overseas slots, meanwhile.
Khulna Key Players
Brendan Taylor has played four times in this year's BPL and scored 28, 32, 48 and 34 in his four innings so far - he has top-scored in their last two matches at the top of the order.
Junaid Siddique has also made a number of useful contributions - including 70 when these teams last met - and he has 269 runs from his ten innings so far.
South African David Wiese has contributed with bat and ball, meanwhile. He has scored 151 runs in his seven innings so far and taken six wickets.
The star bowler has been Taijul Islam, however. He took 3-30 last time out to follow his 3-32 in the previous game. He now has 12 wickets in the tournament. Team-mate Junaid Khan is hot on his heels, however. He was expensive last time out, but his wicket took him to 11 in six games.
Khulna Team Form
Khulna Titans have won just two of their ten games so far this season. They lost four in a row to start the tournament and three more after their first win in a miserable start. Low scores were the original issue, though they defended 128/9 as Taijul Islam (3-10) and Junaid Khan (3-26) helped bowl Rajshahi Kings out for 103.
Then, when batting improved, they could not make it count. Last time they faced Comilla Victorians, Junaid Siddique scored 70 from 41 balls in a total of 181/7 and Junaid Khan took 4-32 in the second innings but they still lost by three wickets in the final over.
They then conceded 214/4 against Chittagong Vikings - losing by 26 runs - and failed to defend 181/6 against Rangpur Riders, suffering another last-over defeat.
The win against Sylhet Sixers lifted some gloom - Brendan Taylor top-scoring with 48 in a total of 170/9 before Taijul Islam claimed 3-32 as the Sixers reached only 149/7. The Sixers gained revenge last time out, however, despite three more wickets for Taijul Islam. They posted 195/4 and Khulna were all out for 137 in reply.
Khulna Titans Predicted Playing 11
Al-Amin, Junaid Siddique, Brendan Taylor, Mahmudullah, Najmul Hossain Shanto, David Wiese, Jahurul Islam, Lasith Malinga, Taijul Islam, Shoriful Islam, Junaid Khan
Comilla Victorians Team News & Playing 11
Comilla Team News
Comilla Victorians have been unchanged for the last four games now, having settled on a regular XI in the absence of Steve Smith (elbow) and Evin Lewis (hamstring). Thisara Perera, Shahid Afridi, Liam Dawson and Wahab Riaz form their overseas quartet and with all four contributing it is hard to see where a fit-again Lewis would fit back in.
Comilla Key Players
Tamim Iqbal rediscovered his best batting form when these teams last met - scoring 73 from 42 balls. He has 192 runs from his eight innings so far, with the majority coming in his last three games - he has scored 73, 25 and 34 in those matches.
Thisara Perera's arrival has been a huge boost, meanwhile. He scored an unbeaten 74 in his first game to continue the batting form he showed for Sri Lanka in New Zealand. Utiltised down the order, he hit a quick-fire 18 when these teams last met and a rapid 26 in the Victorians' last game. He also took 3-14 with the ball in that game.
Shahid Afridi has made some useful all-round contributions too. Against Dhaka that was 16 from eight balls with the bat and 2-18 from four overs with the ball. He has taken ten wickets and scored 122 runs so far.
Mohammad Saifuddin has also taken ten wickets, while Wahab Riaz has taken six in four games - including 2-34 against the Titans when they last met.
Comilla Team Form
Comilla Victorians won both games they played in Sylhet and one of their two in the third phase of fixtures in Dhaka to start challenging for a play-off spot. In Sylhet, they bowled the Sylhet Sixers out for just 68 in their first game as Mahedi Hasan claimed 4-22, on their way to an eight-wicket win.
Tamim Iqbal then led the pursuit of Khulna Titans' 181/7 with a 42-ball 73 as the Victorians went on to win by three wickets in the final over.
They suffered a setback next up - bowled out for just 138 in a 38-run defeat to Rajshahi Kings - but bounced back by beating then league leaders Dhaka Dynamites. Shamsur Rahman top-scored with 48 from 35 balls in a total of 153/8, before Thisara Perera starred with the ball - taking 3-14 as the Dynamites finished on 146/9.
Comilla Victorians Predicted Playing 11
Anamul Haque, Tamim Iqbal, Shamsur Rahman, Imrul Kayes, Thisara Perera, Liam Dawson, Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Saifuddin, Ziaur Rahman, Mahedi Hasan, Wahab Riaz
