SYL vs FBA T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BPL 2024
Match 16 of the Bangladesh Premier League sees Sylhet Strikers take on Fortune Barishal on Tuesday evening in Sylhet. After four games, the Strikers are still yet to pick up a point in the tournament whereas Barishal have won one game. Read on as we preview this match. The game begins at 18:30 local time at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
Sylhet Strikers continue to look a shadow of the side who went all the way to the final 12 months ago and they have struggled with both bat and ball in this year’s tournament. Fortune Barishal are themselves struggling as well but they will fancy getting the better of the Strikers.
Fortune Barishal made a decent effort of chasing down 194 in their last game and they need their group of talented batters to start turning starts into half-centuries. They will certainly come into this match against the bottom of the table side with confidence.

SYL vs FBA Pitch Report
The pitch seems to give plenty of assistance to the bowlers with the new ball but then settles down. Whoever bats first will need to reach 150-155 to be competitive.

Sylhet Strikers Team News & Playing 11
SYL Team News
With the Strikers still looking for their first win of this campaign, there will have to be changes of personnel or maybe in the batting order. Numbers three, four and five all looked comfortable at the crease in the last game so we could see one of them move into an opening position in this match.
SYL Key Players
- Harry Tector - The 24 year old Irishman averages in the forties in both Tests and ODIs. He needs 14 runs in this match to bring up 2000 T20 runs.
- Najmul Hossain Shanto - The left-hander has made one 10 runs so far in the tournament in Sylhet and the Strikers may drop him down to number four to try and get the best out of such a talented batter.
- Tanzim Hasan Sakib - The young pace bowler took the first wicket of the innings against Chattogram Challengers and we expect batters to try and attack him in this game.
- Samit Patel - The left-arm spin bowling all-rounder went wicketless in the last match but took a three-wicket haul in the previous match.
SYL Team Form
Sylhet Strikers have lost by 7 wickets, 4 wickets, 52 runs and 8 wickets across their four games so far in BPL 2024.
Sylhet Strikers Predicted Playing 11
Zakir Hasan, Mohammad Mithun (wk), Harry Tector, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Ryan Burl, Ariful Haque, Samit Patel, Dushan Hemantha, Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Rejaur Rahman Raja
Fortune Barishal Team News & Playing 11
FBA Team News
There were changes to the side ahead of their last game including no place for Shoaib Malik who it has since been announced has left the franchise. Ahmed Shehzad and Taijul Islam impressed in their first appearances and will keep their places for this match.
FBA Key Players
- Tamim Iqbal - The powerful skipper hit two fours and a six in the last game but he must now turn his good starts with the bat into a significant score.
- Ahmed Shehzad - The right-handed Pakistan opener has an impressive T20 record and hit 39 runs from only 17 balls in his first BPL appearance of the season in Match 11.
- Taijul Islam - The 31 year old left-arm spinner took the new ball on Saturday and had dismissed two of the top three for Chattogram within the first three overs.
- Dunith Wellalage - The young slow left-arm orthodox bowler returned his worst figures of the tournament in the last game but had been very impressive up to that point.
FBA Team Form
Fortune Barishal come into this match looking to avoid their fourth successive defeat of the tournament.

Ahmed Shehzad, Tamim Iqbal (c), Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah, Yannic Cariah, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Abbas Afridi, Dunith Wellalage, Taijul Islam, Kamrul Islam
