Sylhet Strikers vs Fortune Barishal Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
The pitch at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium favours batsmen and we’re expecting the trend to continue. Teams averaged over 188 in the first day’s matches in Sylhet and hence, are backing odds of over 341 runs to be scored in the match.
Fortune Barishal’s Tamim Iqbal was the tournament’s top scorer last season, averaging over 35. This season, he averages over 60 in the first three games and is the team’s leading run scorer so far. With the form he is in, we believe odds of 1.83 for him to score more than 20 runs are great odds on a Sylhet’s batting-friendly surface.

However, they suffered a loss in their very next game, losing to Rangpur Riders after a collective batting failure. The third game against Durbar Rajshahi saw the team return to winning ways to move up to third spot.

Sylhet Strikers vs Fortune Barishal Betting Odds
Both teams to finally get going with their opening partnerships
Both Sylhet Strikers and Fortune Barishal have failed to get going at the start of the innings. The defending champions’ opening batsmen have managed partnerships of 25, 12, and 0 in three games while the Strikers’ openers have scored 4 and 47 in their two matches.
Despite their poor performance with the bat for the opening wicket, we believe the pitch in Sylhet will ensure both teams will start off well. Odds of 1.85 on Parimatch for both teams to score more than 17 runs for the opening wicket seems like a pretty decent bet to us.

Sylhet Strikers vs Fortune Barishal Top Batters
Rony Talukdar to be Sylhet Strikers’ top batsman
The Sylhet Strikers’ opener is the team’s highest run scorer so far in the tournament. In the first two matches, Talukdar has scored 41 and 54 despite the Strikers’ to cross 6000 runs in first class cricket. We’re backing the 34-year-old to be the team’s best batsman in the match.
Tamim Iqbal to be Fortune Barishal’s top batsman
The captain of the team is the only player from the team to score more than 100 runs in the tournament so far. After scores of 7 and 27 in the first two games, Iqbal scored an unbeaten 86 in the team’s first match in Sylhet. With his experience of the conditions, he could end up becoming Barishal’s best batsman in the match.
Sylhet Strikers vs Fortune Barishal Top Bowlers
Tanzim Hasan Sakib to be Sylhet Strikers’ top bowler
The Strikers have played two games in the tournament, both against table toppers Rangpur Riders. Despite the quality of their opponents, Tanzim Hasan Sakib took two wickets in each match and was the only bowler to have an economy of less than 6 in the last game.
Shaheen Shah Afridi to be Fortune Barishal’s top bowler
After two blanks in the first two matches in Mirpur, pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi came to the party in Sylhet with 2 wickets against Durbar Rajshahi. The 24-year-old will be the defending champions’ biggest weapon against the home side and is expected to be among the wickets once again.
