Shere Bangla National Stadium

Fortune Barishal and Khulna Tigers are slated to meet for a second time this season in the Bangladesh Premier League on January 27, 2025. The match will be staged at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, with a scheduled start time of 1:00 P.M IST.

Fortune Barishal vs Khulna Tigers Chances of Winning

Fortune Barishal have continued to be on a rampage as they took down Sylhet Strikers in the previous match. The latter were the first at the crease and after an awful batting display, they ended up with a total of 116 runs. Fortune Barishal’s Faheem Ashraf is largely credited for this feat since he took an impressive five-wicket haul and was impossible to score off of. The bowlers made life easy for the batting lineup and it paid off as skipper Tamim Iqbal and wicket-keeper batter Mushfiqur Rahim led the chase with 52* and 42* runs, respectively. In the end, Fortune Barishal emerged victorious by a margin of eight wickets.

Khulna Tigers remain a middling team in the tournament and they took their fourth victory of the season last time out against Sylhet Strikers where the latter batted first and posted a mediocre total of 152 on the board. The chase was not entirely smooth sailing but skipper and opener Mehidy Hasan Miraz ensured that the team made it over the line with his knock of 70 runs. The other batters made up the deficit to take home a solid six-wicket triumph.

Fortune Barishal vs Khulna Tigers Betting Tips

Fortune Barishal to score low before first dismissal

In the last five matches, there has been precisely one match where Fortune Barishal achieved a competitive opening stand. This is a major bugbear for the team, especially since they do not have an established opening pair to lead the innings. With skipper Tamim Iqbal consistently at the front, the team has had first partnerships of 22, 1, 14, 8 and 81 runs. This does not inspire confidence in them at all, and another low opening score is on the cards for the defending champions.

Fortune Barishal vs Khulna Tigers Toss Prediction

In the first nine matches held at Shere Bangla National Stadium this season, the record is quite close between those batting and fielding first by a scoreline of 5-4. However, the teams have shown a preference for fielding first, having chosen to do so in six of the nine games. Even with an average first innings score as high as 172, no total is truly safe on this surface which makes fielding first the favored option for the next match.

Weather Report

Sunny conditions are expected at Mirpur with no sign of rainfall, and the temperature is predicted to reach 23 degrees Celsius.

Khulna Tigers to have a better opening partnership than Fortune Barishal

Towhid Hridoy and Tamim Iqbal have been the mainstay opening batters for Fortune Barishal but the team does not have much to show for itself with first wicket stands of 22, 1 and 14 runs in the last three matches. Although Khulna Tigers have also struggled to settle on a permanent opening pair, they have Mohammad Naim as their linchpin and the team boasts first partnerships of 65, 6 and 42 runs in the previous three games. This puts Khulna Tigers’ openers at an advantage in the next outing versus Fortune Barishal.
