The stage is set for a riveting showdown as the Sylhet Strikers gear up to face the Rangpur Riders in the 20th match of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2024. This highly anticipated clash is slated to unfold at the enchanting Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on the upcoming Tuesday.
In their recent outings, both the Sylhet Strikers and the Rangpur Riders emerged victorious in their respective matches, tasting the sweet flavor of triumph. Now, with the taste of success still lingering, both teams are eager to sustain their winning streaks.
A notable development in the Sylhet Strikers’ camp is the appointment of Mohammad Mithun as the skipper, entrusted with leading the team in place of the regular captain, Mashrafe Mortaza, who withdrew from the tournament citing political reasons.
Sylhet International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:
The Sylhet International Cricket Stadium offers a pitch that distinctly favours bowlers over batters. During the initial stages of the game, the wicket poses a formidable challenge for batters, requiring them to navigate challenging conditions. However, as the match progresses into the second innings, the pitch tends to improve, presenting a more balanced environment for both batting and bowling. Consequently, the team captain who wins the toss may find it prudent to opt for fielding first, capitalizing on the conditions.
