Khulna Tigers Team Form
A poor start followed by two wins to start their campaign in the 2023 edition of the Bangladesh Premier League seems like a distant memory for the Khulna Tigers. Having lost their way again, they have registered four back-to-back defeats—getting close to a win in only one of them.
Fortune Barishal vs Khulna Tigers Head to Head
The recent head-to-head numbers between Fortune Barishal and Khulna Tigers are one-sided. The last two games between these two sides saw Barishal walking away with the points, defending their total on both occasions.
Fortune Barishal vs Khulna Tigers Betting Odds
FB to score more than 40 in powerplay @ 1.8 (Melbet)
Through thick and thin, one component of the Fortune Barishal squad that has remained consistent is their showing with the bat. Even when they have lost wickets in a heap, Barishal have posted in excess of 40 in the powerplay overs in each of their last five games at least. Given those numbers, this is a sure-shot bet to take advantage of.
Fortune Barishal vs Khulna Tigers Best Batters
Shakib Al Hasan to be FB’s best batter (Melbet)
No other player is more synonymous with Bangladesh cricket than Shakib Al Hasan. The three-time ‘Player of the Tournament’ award winner in the Bangladesh Premier League seems all set to do it all over again. So far, he has been the most impactful player at this year’s tournament with 311 runs (third highest) at an average of 51.83 and a strike-rate of 185.11—and six wickets to boot. Add his bags of experience and leadership qualities to the mix, and you will soon see why Fortune Barishal are in second place in the table.. Betting on him should be a no-brainer for you.
Tamim Iqbal to be KT’s best batter (Melbet)
A mainstay at the top of the order for Bangladesh for more than a decade, Tamim Iqbal is among the most experienced batters in the tournament. Regarded among the hardest hitters of the cricket ball in the country, the southpaw has borne his struggling Khulna Tigers team on his back at this year’s tournament. In his last five games for the Khulna Tigers, the 33-year-old has scored 192 runs at an average of 38.4.
Fortune Barishal vs Khulna Tigers Best Bowlers
Mohammad Wasim to be FB’s best bowler (Melbet)
On the one hand, there would be merit to argue for Shakib Al Hasan’s inclusion in this category as well. However, as good as he is in containing the opposition, what Fortune Barishal need more urgently is a reliable wicket-taker in their ranks. And that is precisely what Mohammad Wasim has done. In his last five outings for Barishal, the 21-year-old all-rounder from Pakistan has picked up seven wickets at an average of 22.71.
Wahab Riaz to be KT’s best bowler (Melbet)
What Tamim Iqbal is with the bat for the Khulna Tigers, Wahab Riaz is with the ball for them—a veteran bearing the brunt of the responsibility on his back. It seems that all the T20 nous that has earned him 390+ wickets in the format is propelling the Pakistani pacer. At this point, the 37-year-old veteran is the leading wicket-taker in the tournament with 13 wickets from seven games at an average of 14.07. Such numbers—combined with the fact that pacers have picked up more wickets (60%) at the Sher-e Bangla Stadium in the last three years—should compel you to take this bet head on.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Khulna Tigers

As the league phase of the tournament draws to a climax, the stakes are high for both teams. Even with wins on either side of a five-game winless streak, Fortune Barishal have yet to seal their playoff spot. As for the Khulna Tigers, they are clinging on to an outside chance of qualification; a loss tomorrow would be fatal. Our analysis of the squads points to a win for Barishal.
