DDS vs FBA Match Preview
Captain Nasir Hossain has been by far the best performer for the Dominators this season with a brilliant all-round effort for his team. However, he hasn’t received much support from the top-order batsmen. The likes of Soumya Sarkar, Mizanur Rahman, and Mohammad Mithun have failed to score big runs so far.
The bowling has been a bit better though as the seamers Taskin Ahmed and Al-Amin Hossain have managed to pick up wickets quite frequently.
Fortune Barishal faced the Chattogram Challengers in their latest encounter and defeated them by 3 wickets in a thrilling encounter. Chasing a stiff target of 169, Barishal were off to a shaky start as they lost 4 wickets, including that of Shakib Al Hasan inside the first 10 overs with just 79 runs on the board and seemed to be heading for a second consecutive defeat.
Anamul Haque however played superb innings of 78 runs of 50 deliveries to shepherd his team close to a win. Karim Janat gave the chase some finishing touches, scoring a brilliant 31 of just 12 deliveries to give his team a memorable win in the final over of the match. Shakib and Iftikhar Ahmed, two of the top scorers for Barishal had an off day but will be hoping to bounce back soon.
Kamrul Islam and Khaled Ahmed both picked up 2 wickets each in the last match, with the latter now becoming the joint-highest wicket-taker in the squad.
Weather Report
The temperature will remain between around 26-27 degrees Celsius.
Pitch Report
The track at Sylhet is a good surface to bat on, with an average first-innings score of around 160. However, bowlers showing discipline are amply rewarded in the form of wickets. The spinners might get some turn here during the second innings. The weather on Tuesday is expected to be overcast and humid but there is little chance of rain.
Notable stats
Taskin Ahmed’s Economical Bowling

Dream11 Prediction
We are backing the Fortune Barishal to win this match. They are in good form and have consistently overplayed their opponents this season. On the other side, the Dominators appear to be deflated by their poor showing and will struggle to fight against quality opposition like Barishal.
Top Picks
Nasir Hossain: Nasir Hossain has towered amongst an otherwise mediocre Dhaka team. He has scored 320 runs and has also picked up 11 wickets this season.
Iftikhar Ahmed: Iftikhar Ahmed has scored 2 half-centuries and a century this season and is the second-highest run-getter for Fortune Barishal this season with 286 runs.
Karim Janat: Karim Janat played a superb cameo in the last match and was a key player in leading his team to a close victory. He is a decent all-rounder having scored 106 runs in 6 innings and has also picked up 5 wickets.
