Sylhet Thunder made as many as four changes to their team in their seven-wicket loss to Rangpur Rangers; they dropped Rubel Mia, Delwar Hossain, Krishmar Santokie and Nazmul Islam and replaced them by Naveen-ul-Haq, Nazmul Hossain Milon, Sohag Gazi and Monir Hossain. We expect the Thunder to keep an unchanged eleven for this match.
Sylhet Thunder will look to their opening pair of Johnson Charles and Andre Fletcher to score the bulk of their runs. The former has scored the most runs for the team - 262 runs which includes a couple of fifties. Even Mohammad Mithun too has been among the runs. In terms of bowling, Ebadat Hossain and Naveen-ul-Haq seem to be the Thunder's best bets. Hossain has been the pick of the bowlers with 8 wickets at an economy of 6.89.
Sylhet Thunder are languishing at the bottom of the BPL 07 points table with just one win and seven losses from eight league matches. They are coming into this match on the back of three successive defeats - against Dhaka Platoon, Khulna Tigers and Rangpur Rangers.

| BATSMEN | ALL ROUNDER | WICKET KEEPER | BOWLER |
|---|---|---|---|
| Johnson Charles | Soumya Sarkar | Mohammad Mithun (vc) | Ebadot Hossain |
| Nazmul Hossain Milon | David Wiese | Naveen-ul-Haq | |
| Dawid Malan (c) | Mujeeb Ur Rahman | ||
| Sabbir Rahman | Abu Hider Rony |
Cumilla Warriors do not have any injury issues to deal with going into this match. They have kept the same eleven in their previous two matches and could once again come up with an unchanged line-up.
Dawid Malan is the key man for Cumilla Warriors as far as batting is concerned. The England batsman is topping the tournament's runs chart with 377 runs at an average of 62.83. Soumya Sarkar is having a strike-rate of 144.31 and he will also have a big role to play with the ball having picked 11 wickets in 8 matches. Sabbir Rahman is another quality batsman and the team's middle-order batting will depend mainly on him. Mujeeb Ur Rahman has taken 9 wickets at an exceptional economy of 5.16 and he could be a big thorn in Sylhet's flesh.
Cumilla Warriors have won three and lost five out of the eight matches they have played so far this Bangladesh Premier League season and are placed fifth on the leaderboard with six points. After losing four games in a row, the Warriors managed to end their losing streak with a three-wicket win over Chattogram Challengers last time out.

Sylhet Thunder and Cumilla Warriors have played four matches against each other in the Bangladesh Premier League with the scoreline 3-1 in favor of the latter. Both the teams have won once each in the two encounters at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
| Matches Played | SLT Won | CUW Won | Tie | No Result |

Cumilla Warriors certainly have the upper hand when it comes to head-to-head record with three wins from four matches. Sylhet Thunder are struggling big time this season and they have not yet found a way to put an end to their dismal run. The Warriors too have been inconsistent of late but the win against Chattogram Challengers should give them some confidence. They have played better cricket than the Thunder and so we are backing them to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Cumilla Warriors to beat Sylhet Thunder.
