CAV vs RRR Team Previews
Chattogram Challengers
The Chattogram Challengers started the season well but with 3 losses in the last 4 matches, their form has seen a slight dip. Nevertheless, the team still finds itself in the 3rd spot on the points table.
The batting has been a hit or a miss for the Challengers this season. Tanzid Hasan and Josh Brown are likely to open the batting for the team. Hasan played an impressive knock of 41 runs in the last match, albeit for a losing cause. He is also the leading run-scorer for the team.
Tom Bruce will be the key player in the middle order, with Shykat Ali and Shahadat Hossain playing a supporting role. The team also has a couple of quality all-rounders in the form of Shuvagata Hom and Curtis Campher who add depth to the batting.
The team has a pretty solid pace attack consisting of Bilal Khan, Shohidul Islam, and Al-Amin Hossain. The spin department does look a bit understaffed with Nihaduzzman being the only full-time spinner.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium is excellent to bat on. There is plenty of bounce and pace, especially in the first half and the batsmen will be able to play their shots naturally.
The pitch does slow down a bit during the second innings and the spinners will get some grip and turn, making life difficult for the batsmen. Anything over 180 can be difficult to chase on this ground.
The weather is likely to be clear with temperatures of between 20 and 25 degrees.
