After a sensational win over Sylhet Strikers in their last match, Fortune Barishal (FBA) is set to face Khulna Tigers (KHT) in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). However, despite the win, Barishal has room for improvement, particularly in their bowling department, where players like Nayeem Hasan, Richard Ngarava, and Rejaur Rahman Raja are yet to make a significant impact. On the batting front, Ahmed Shehzad and Mahmudullah showed excellent performances in the last match.
Khulna, led by Anamul Haque, remains unbeaten in the competition. The skipper is in great form, contributing with a half-century in the last match against Durdanto Dhaka, while Mohammad Nawaz showcased brilliance with the ball, picking up three wickets. Khulna Tigers will enter the match against Barishal with a more relaxed and confident approach.
