Tamim Iqbal has led the team from the front and will hope to take one step closer to the playoffs with a win against the Sylhet Strikers.
Sylhet finished runners-up in the 2023 edition of the tournament. However, this year hasn't gone their way so far.

He has scored 273 runs at an average of 30.33 and a strike rate of 121.87 in nine innings. He is coming off a swashbuckling 71-run knock off just 45 balls against Durdanto Dhaka in the last game.

Probable Best Bowler of the match
Khaled Ahmed could be the standout bowler in this game. The right-arm pacer, who has played 14 games for Bangladesh, has been in fine form in the tournament. He has picked up ten wickets from six matches at an average of 18.60 and a strike rate of 12.50. His economy rate (8.92) is on the higher side but his team won't mind it as long as he can keep adding to the wickets column.Today’s Match Prediction: Fortune Barishal to win the match
