Shere Bangla National Stadium

Fortune Barishal and Sylhet Strikers’ second meeting in the Bangladesh Premier League this season will be staged at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur. The clash is going to take place on January 26, 2025, at 1:00 P.M IST.

Fortune Barishal vs Sylhet Strikers Chances of Winning

Fortune Barishal remain one of the most formidable teams in the Bangladesh Premier League this season and they have made very few errors in their campaign so far. Their last match against Khulna Tigers was an incredibly close contest where Fortune Barishal batted first and piled on 167 runs; Mahmudullah notched up a half-century with precisely 50 runs, followed by Rishad Hossain and Towhid Hridoy who scored 39 and 36 runs, respectively. This put the team in a great position with 167 runs on the board. They were still on tenterhooks but the bowlers pulled through, having limited the opposition to 160/6 by the end of the innings which gave the defending champions a seven-run victory.

Sylhet Strikers are on the other end of the spectrum since they have had a rough campaign and they suffered yet another loss at the hands of Khulna Tigers in the last match. The former’s score of 152 was not very convincing - out of the entire lineup, George Munsey and Zakir Hasan were the only ones who played mature innings with scores of 58 and 44, respectively. It was not a particularly daunting score to chase down and Sylhet Strikers were defeated by six wickets.

Fortune Barishal vs Sylhet Strikers Betting Tips

Sylhet Strikers to score low before first dismissal

In the last five matches that Sylhet Strikers have played, there has not been a single occasion where their opening pair put on a competitive stand to help lay down a solid foundation to build on. They constantly send out different combinations to lead the innings and it has not paid off even once, evidenced by opening scores of 1, 11, 3, 1 and 7 runs. Despite the fact that Rony Talukdar has become a linchpin for the first wicket, his partner keeps changing and there is not enough stability for the opening lineup to succeed.

Fortune Barishal vs Sylhet Strikers Toss Prediction

In the tournament this season, eight matches have been played at Shere Bangla National Stadium so far and the teams batting first have a slight advantage with five victories. It is a track which favors the batters heavily, reflected in the average first innings score of 180. Both teams will want to bat first and put themselves in a better position to win.

Weather Report

There is absolutely no chance of rainfall at Mirpur and sunny skies will prevail, along with a maximum temperature of 23 degrees Celsius.

Fortune Barishal vs Sylhet Strikers Betting Odds

Fortune Barishal to have a better opening partnership than Sylhet Strikers @ 1.80 (Parimatch)

Both Fortune Barishal and Sylhet Strikers have had the same problem at the front, wherein they are unable to find a stable, reliable opening pair to lead the team. For Fortune Barishal, skipper Tamim Iqbal has been their mainstay from the start of the season but they cannot settle on a partner for him. This has resulted in stands of 1, 14 and 8 runs in the last three matches. Sylhet Strikers are in a similar plight but George Munsey and Rony Talukdar have opened two of the last three fixtures with opening totals of 1, 11 and 3. The bookmakers expect Fortune Barishal to have the edge in this encounter and outdo Sylhet Strikers’ first partnership.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Fortune Barishal

Sylhet Strikers continue to languish at the bottom of the standings as they have a mere two wins in nine fixtures with an awful net run rate of -1.248. They are the least competitive team in the tournament and the fact that they are going up against the second best team yet puts them on the backfoot. Fortune Barishal stand second on the points table with six wins in eight games and a net run rate of 0.993. The choice is quite clear for the bookmakers who favor the latter to come out on top.
