The Khulna Tigers have had a tournament to forget in the 2023 edition of the Bangladesh Premier League. Since their two lone wins, the Tigers have lost their way completely: losing six games back-to-back.
Fortune Barishal vs Khulna Tigers Head to Head

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—and that set up their wins this season. Given those numbers, this is a sure-shot bet to take advantage of.
Fortune Barishal vs Khulna Tigers Best Batters
Iftikhar Ahmed to be FB’s best batter (Melbet)
Fortune Barishal’s batting unit have shown their worth at the 2023 edition of the Bangladesh Premier League: they have two players in the same team who rank among the top five run-getters in the tournament. Shakib Al Hasan is one, But more recently, it has been Iftikhar Ahmed who has provided more impetus to Barishal’s cause. In his last 10 games, the 32-year-old has scored 338 runs each at an average of 67.6 and a strike-rate of 158.68. Betting on him should be a no-brainer for you.
Shai Hope to be KT’s best batter (Melbet)
For the longest time, Shai Hope has been considered the hope of the new generation of batsmen in West Indies cricket. And except when it comes to the ODI format, his consistency has been a concern. This year in the Bangladesh Premier League, however, Hope has been among the rare glimpses of shining light in an otherwise disastrous campaign for the Khulna Tigers. In his last five games, the 29-year-old has scored 203 runs at an average of 50.75, while also taking on the captain’s mantle.
Fortune Barishal vs Khulna Tigers Best Bowlers
Mohammad Wasim to be FB’s best bowler (Melbet)
As good as the likes of Shakib Al Hasan has been in containing the opposition, what has proved a more pressing concern for Fortune Barishal is a reliable wicket-taker in their ranks. And that is precisely what Mohammad Wasim has done since his integration into the side. In his last seven outings for Barishal, the 21-year-old all-rounder from Pakistan has picked up nine wickets at an average in the mid 20s.
Nahidul Islam to be KT’s best bowler (Melbet)
In a world where slow-left arm spinners have thrived, Nahidul Islam has done well to produce the goods for the Khulna Tigers. The all-rounder, who has been around the domestic circuit since 2014, has picked up 11 wickets in his last 10 games for the Tigers. Such numbers—even when combined with the fact that pacers have picked up more wickets (60%) at the Sher-e Bangla Stadium in the last three years—make him a reasonable shout for this bet.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Fortune Barishal
We are in line with Melbet’s prediction, but this is not a straightforward game to call—at least not as simple as it looks on paper. From the league table standings, Barishal should be strong favourites; the Tigers are bottom of the league, for context. But ever since their hot winning streak through the early phase of the season, Barishal have struggled for consistency. Overall, however, they should have what it takes to nick a result and maintain their hopes of a top-two finish. Hence, our analysis of the squads points to a win for the Rangpur Riders.
Fortune Barishal to win @ 1.45 (Melbet)
Khulna Tigers to win @ 2.45 (Melbet)
