SSR vs FBA Team Previews
Sylhet Strikers
The Sylhet Strikers have endured a terrible run so far and have lost each of their 4 matches. As a result, they are sitting right at the bottom of the points table and will be desperate for a victory.
The opening pair of Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mohammad Mithun hasn’t been consistent enough and has failed to give the team a strong start. Their poor form has put added pressure on the middle order. Zakir Hasan is the top run-getter for the team with 143 runs.
He is also the only batsman from the team who has scored a half-century. Zakir will be joined by Harry Tector, Ryan Burl, Samit Patel, and Ariful Haque lower down the order. The bowling has been underwhelming, to say the least. Speedster Richard Ngarava is the leading wicket-taker with 4 wickets.
Rejaur Rahman will be opening the attack with the new ball alongside Tanzim Hasan and Mashrafe Mortaza, while the spin attack consists of Dushan Hemantha, Tector, and Samit Patel.

Mashrafe Mortaza, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shamsur Rahman, Zakir Hasan, Ariful Haque, Samit Patel, Ryan Burl, Nayeem Hasan, Benny Howell, Richard Ngarava, Rejaur Rahman Raja.
Barisal Bulls
Fortune Barishal started on a positive note as they won against the Rangpur Riders in their opening fixture. However, they have since lost 3 consecutive matches and are placed 5th on the points table.
Mushfiqur Rahim is in excellent form and has scored 180 runs at an average of 60.00. He is also the leading run-scorer of the season. However, the form of other batsmen in the middle order, including Soumya Sarkar and Mahmudullah has been patchy.
Tamim Iqbal has played well in the opening slot and will look to give the team a strong start alongside Ahmed Shehzad. Coming to the bowling, Taijul Islam was impressive in the last match as he picked up 2 wickets and will look to bowl a similar spell in this match.
He will be joined by Kamrul Islam and Abbas Afridi. Yannic Cariah joins the team as a specialist spinner and will be supported by Dunith Wellalage.
Barisal Bulls Playing 11
Tamim Iqbal, Ahmed Shehzad, Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan, Mohammad Imran, Pritom Kumar, Dunith Wellalage, Akif Javed, Khaled Ahmed .

Pitch and Conditions
This will be the 7th match that is being hosted at Sylhet in less than a week. The surface has slowed down a bit and is a bit difficult to bat on. The odd ball does keep a bit low and the batsmen will need to watch the ball closely. There are plenty of rough spots that can be exploited. Anything over 160 will be a difficult ask for the team batting second.
The weather is likely to be clear with temperatures of between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius.
SSR vs FBA Betting Tips
Both teams have struggled to perform this season and will be desperate to get back to winning ways. We feel that Fortune Barishal has a slight edge in this contest thanks to its stronger batting lineup and also a better balance in bowling.
Bet on Fortune Barishal to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The pitch at Sylhet is getting increasingly difficult to bat on. Since both teams have struggled to put up big totals, we are unlikely to see a high-scoring game.
Mushfiqur Rahim is the leading run-scorer for this season. He has scored 180 runs at an average of 60.00 and has scored at least 23 runs in each of his 4 innings. We are backing him to play well in this match.
