Shere Bangla National Stadium

On December 31, 2024, Chittagong Kings and Khulna Tigers will face off in the Bangladesh Premier League. The clash is slated to take place at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, at 1:00 P.M IST.

Facts:

  • Chittagong Kings’ Shoriful Islam played for Rangpur Riders last season and emerged as their leading bowler with 22 wickets in 12 innings.
  • Khulna Tigers’ Mohammad Naim was with Rangpur Riders in the previous season where he was their second highest run scorer with 310 runs in 12 innings.

Chittagong Kings vs Khulna Tigers Chances of Winning

Khulna Tigers were a middling team in the Bangladesh Premier League last season and their journey in the tournament ended with the group stage. They started off incredibly strong with a four-match winning streak at the beginning of the tournament but their purple patch came to an abrupt end since they suffered five successive defeats after the fact. Towards the end of their campaign, they managed precisely one more victory over Durdanto Dhaka before losing their final two group stage matches. Overall, it was a season to forget for Khulna Tigers.

On the other hand, Chittagong Kings will be returning under this franchise for the first time in a decade. They have a promising squad led by Shakib Al Hasan and they have Graham Clark, Moeen Ali, Angelo Mathews and Shoriful Islam among other talented and seasoned players. They certainly have what it takes to challenge Khulna Tigers.

Chittagong Kings vs Khulna Tigers Betting Tips

Khulna Tigers to score low before first dismissal

There was almost no consistency whatsoever in Khulna Tigers’ opening partnerships in the previous season of the competition. This was largely down to the fact that they had several sets of openers, and a different pair opened for each of their games. In their last five fixtures of the tournament, Khulna Tigers’ openers posted totals of 25, 13, 0, 32 and 18 runs before the first dismissal. Apart from one competent performance, the opening wicket failed to do justice to their responsibility and they are not expected to put on a competitive stand this time either.

Chittagong Kings vs Khulna Tigers Betting Odds

Chittagong Kings to have a better opening partnership than Khulna Tigers

Since Chittagong Kings are returning to the Bangladesh Premier League after a decade-long absence with an entirely revamped squad, their form and openers are unpredictable. On the other hand, Khulna Tigers were a part of the tournament last season and their opening stands were no great shakes. In their final three games of the season, Anamul Haque was the only recurring opener while his partner was different in all the matches. Naturally, their scores of 25, 13 and 0 failed to make an impression and Chittagong Kings have the firepower to do better in the next match, especially with the likes of Graham Clark, Shakib Al Hasan and Moeen Ali among others who could potentially open for the team.

Chittagong Kings vs Khulna Tigers Best Batters

Shakib Al Hasan to be Chittagong Kings’ Best Batter

Shakib Al Hasan was among the top run scorers for Rangpur Riders in the previous season of the Bangladesh Premier League where he amassed 255 runs in 11 innings. He secured two half-centuries during the season and achieved an average of 23.18. Having been a consistent batter for the side, he is expected to come out on top this time around as well.

Mohammad Naim to be Khulna Tigers’ Best Batter

Mohammad Naim was the second highest run scorer for Durdanto Dhaka in the last edition of the tournament wherein he garnered 310 runs in 12 innings. He notched up two half-centuries during his campaign and ended up with an average of 25.83. Since he was a dependable player for the team, he is anticipated to be their top batter in the next match.

Chittagong Kings vs Khulna Tigers Best Bowlers

Shoriful Islam to be Chittagong Kings’ Best Bowler

Shoriful Islam emerged as Durdanto Dhaka’s leading wicket-taker last season, having captured a total of 22 wickets in 12 innings. He was in a league of his own and was significantly ahead of the rest of the team’s bowlers. He also secured a brilliant average of 15.8 during the season which makes him a top contender for the upcoming game.

Abu Hider to be Khulna Tigers’ Best Bowler

Abu Hider was with Rangpur Riders in the 2023/24 season of the Bangladesh Premier League and he managed to take nine wickets in five innings. This was quite impressive considering he played fewer innings than the rest and ended the season with an average of 10.55. He remains the top choice to be Khulna Tigers’ leading bowler in the next fixture.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Chittagong Kings

After a disastrous run in the competition last season, Khulna Tigers finished fifth on the points table with five victories in 12 matches and an awful net run rate of -0.447. They lost their momentum before they even reached the halfway mark and failed to recover from a dry spell. The bookmakers contend that Chittagong Kings have the firepower to take on and overcome Khulna Tigers in their clash.
