Shahadat Hossain and Najibullah Zadran batted well in the first match. Nazibullah scored 61 runs off 30 balls and Shahadat scored 57 runs off 39 balls. Chottogram's squad is strong. But the Khulna squad is not weak either. Khulna squad has excellent foreign players like Evin Lewis and Shai Hope. So today's match will also be very exciting.
Even today, these two are trying to make a good pair. Shahadat Hossain and Najibullah Zadran are batting at the crease at the moment. Both the teams have quite a few foreign players but I think Khulna Tigers batting line up is a bit stronger as they have two Caribbean players in their squad. Their team has three bowling all-rounders among them Faheem Ashraf is one of the best players Faheem Ashraf can also bowl very well which we have seen during the Pakistan game.
Chottogram team won very easily against Sylhet despite batting at a huge target of 178 runs. They reached the target of victory by losing only 3 wickets. So the expectations from the batsmen of chottogram were high in today's match as well. But I am very disappointed with their performance. At the beginning of the innings Chottogram faced a bad batting disaster.
Najibullah scored 24 runs, Tanzid 19 runs and Shohidul 40 runs. And the Chottogram team managed to set a target of 122 runs. Nahidul and Faheem bowled well. Nahidul picked up four wickets for just 12 runs in 4 overs and Faheem picked up three wickets.
Khulna Tiger's batting order is very strong. I do not see the possibility of their defeat at such a low target.
