Fortune Barishal (FBA) and Chittagong Kings (CHK) will face each other in Qualifier 1 of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL 2024-25), at the renowned Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, on Monday, February 3.

Pitch Report

The Shere Bangla Stadium is batting-friendly but as the pitch slows down, spinners will have an upper hand in the game. However, the first few overs belong to pacers and they will generate enough movement from the pitch.
