KT vs SS Toss Prediction

Sylhet Strikers have struggled in all their last three chases. Khulna Tigers won their game against Rajshahi by batting first. Both captains may want to bat first after winning the toss.

Pitch and Conditions

The fast bowlers will need to be up to scratch with the new ball while there is seam movement on offer. The batters may look to explode after the powerplay when the ball becomes less of a threat. Strike rotation will be key for the batting units. The dry and slower conditions will work in the favour of the spinners and bowlers with variations. Sylhet scored 182 for five in 20 overs when they beat Khulna earlier this year.

Matchday conditions will be hot and sunny with the humidity as another factor to contend with. There is no chance of rain at night or any part of the day either.

KT vs SS Betting Tips

The win against the Khulna Tigers this month is one of only two victories for the Sylhet team this season. They can take a slight bit of confidence from that win, but have largely taken a huge blow with all their losses this season. Khulna’s better season may make them favourites for this match in what could be their first victory ever against Sylhet.

Bet on Khulna Tigers to win this match.
