Khulna Tigers (KHT) will face Chittagong Kings (CHK) in match No. 3 of the ongoing BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) 2024-25 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Tuesday, December 31.

Shere Bangla National Stadium Pitch Report

The surface at the Shere Bangla National Stadium is one that is preferred by the spinners. The first match between Fortune Barishal and Durbar Rajshahi turned out to be a high-scoring affair. As the tournament has just started, the pitches are fresh and batters can make merry. However, as the tournament goes on, the surfaces will only get slower and lower.

Probable Top Performers from KHT vs CHK

Probable Best Batter: Mehidy Hasan Miraz

Mehidy Hasan Miraz scored a lot of runs during the multi-format series which Bangladesh recently played against the West Indies in the Caribbean. He will look to carry that form into BPL 2024-25. Mehidy likes to play aggressively but he can also drop anchor according to the situation.

Probable Best Bowler: Shoriful Islam

Shoriful Islam was the highest wicket-taker in the previous BPL edition. He finished with 22 wickets from 12 matches at an average of 15.86. Shoriful will hold the key for Chittagong with the new ball as he has the potential to make early inroads.
