FBA vs KNT Team Previews
Barisal Bulls
Fortune Barishal made a positive start to its campaign by defeating the Rangpur Raiders in their opening fixture. <br /> The seamers, Khaled Ahmed and Mohammad Imran were brilliant with the new ball as they rattled the opposition batting with their accurate line and length.
Khaled Ahmed was particularly impressive as he finished with figures of 4 for 31 in his 4 overs. The team will expect a similar performance from them in this match. Fortune Barishal also has plenty of variety in its spin department thanks to the presence of all-rounders like Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shoaib Malik.
They will play a supporting role to Dunith Wellalage and Rakibul Hasan. Skipper Tamim Iqbal will open the batting alongside Ibrahim Zadran. The duo will look to score quickly during the Powerplay.
With the likes of Mushfiqur Rahim, Soumya Sarkar, and Shoaib Malik present in the middle order, there is plenty of depth in the batting unit to take up a challenging score.

Khulna Tigers
Just like Fortune Barishal, the Khulna Tigers too won their opening fixture on Saturday. The team scored a clinical win against the Chattogram Challengers and will look to put up a similar performance in this match.<br /> Anamul Haque and Evin Lewis are likely to open the batting for Khulna in this match.
Both of them are quality batsmen who are capable of scoring quick runs during the Powerplay. Shai Hope, coming in at number 3, will be a vital cog in the batting line-up. He has been in good form during the recent international outings and the team will expect a similar performance from him.
Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Afif Hossain put up a partnership of 46 runs against Chattogram to keep their team on track during the chase. Coming to the bowling, Faheem Ashraf and Oshane Thomas are likely to start the proceedings with the new ball and will be supported by Mukidul Islam.
Off-spinner Nahidul Islam bowled a brilliant spell of 4 for 12 in his 4 overs. He will once again lead the spin attack alongside Nasum Ahmed.

Pitch and Conditions
The Shere Bangla Stadium usually offers a well-balanced pitch and we expect that to be the case for this match too. The seamers can expect help from the surface, especially when the ball is new. There are some patches of green grass, allowing the ball to nip around a bit. The spinners can also expect some turn if they hit the right areas.
The pitch does get a bit better to bat on during the second innings, but anything over 160 will be tricky to chase.
The weather is likely to be pleasant with temperatures of below 20 degrees Celsius. Since this is a Day/Night match, we can expect some dew during the second half.
FBA vs KNT Betting Tips
Both teams have made a winning start to their campaign and would like to continue with that momentum. As a result, we expect to see a closely fought contest. However, we feel that Fortune Barishal has an edge in this contest.
They have a stronger batting line-up compared to the Khulna Tigers, with a couple of quality all-rounders who can turn the match in their favor.
Bet on Fortune Barishal to win.

Bonus Cricket Bets
Both teams have some quality batsmen playing for them. As the pitch in Mirpur does help the batsmen, we are expecting at least one of the batsmen to play a good knock.
Tamim Iqbal is the leading run-scorer in the history of BPL. He has scored 2965 runs during his career in the league at an average of 38.01. He played an impressive knock of 25 runs in the opening fixture and we are backing him to play well.
The Fortune Barishal team has a strong batting line-up at its disposal. There is also plenty of depth in the team’s batting thanks to the presence of all-rounders. On the other hand, there are no standout players in the Khulna team. We are therefore backing Fortune Barishal to score the higher number of boundaries.
