CGC vs BRSAL Match Prediction & Analysis
The BPL action shifts back to Dhaka . These two teams came head to head for a game in Sylhet, which the Challengers won quite easily in the end with 10 runs. The defeat galvanized Barishal to perform better and they picked up two successive wins in the matches to follow against the form team Khulna Tigers and bottom-ranked Sylhet Strikers.
Chattogram Challengers, however, have climbed up to the third spot on the table, on the back of three victories on the bounce. A massive defeat in the hands of Victorians might have battered their NRR a bit, but they’re just holding on to one of the top positions with a slender 2-point difference over Victorians who have a game in hand.
A victory in this match will help these teams advance their cause and get to a much more competitive position on the points table.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Chattogram Challengers Preview
Avishka Fernando, Najibullah Zadran, Shahadat Hossain, and Tanzid Hassan are the mainstay of the Challengers batting unit. But none of them could get their team out of trouble against Team Comilla. Their combined run tally for the match stood at 27, with only the Afghanistan player getting to double digits. They were blown away by some brilliant bowling by Comilla’s spinners. 72 on the board was never going to be competitive even on a rank turner, and the Victorians galloped to victory.
The Challengers would do well to quickly put this humbling defeat behind them and move forward in the competition. With 8 points from 6 matches, they’re in a better position for now, but they’d have to string a few wins together to improve their chances of qualification to the knock-outs.
Curtis Campher, the Irish allrounder, is going to very important for their qualification chances and they missed him badly in their previous match. A player of his quality being in the bowling attack is important for the Challengers to take the attack to the opposition, given that the spinners are not performing well.
Chattogram Challengers Predicted Playing XI:
Tanzid Hasan, Avishka Fernando, Tom Bruce (wk), Shahadat Hossain, Najibullah Zadran, Shuvagata Hom (c), Curtis Campher, Ziaur Rahman, Nihaduzzaman, Al-Amin Hossain, Bilal Khan.

Fortune Barishal Preview
Comilla Victorians are riding a wave of momentum. They won their last two matches fairly comfortably and are looking good to add to their winning tally. Now they have Chattogram Challengers standing in front of them, the last team to have beaten them in the tournament.
Their star-studded batting unit, which comprises of 6 quality international players, looks threatening finally. Forgotten Pakistani top order batsman Ahmed Shehzad brought up his first fifty of this BPL this season, scoring 66 in their clash with Strikers. Bangladeshi veterans Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah are amongst the runs too. Inclusion of Shoab Malik in the middle order has given their batting unit a shot in the arm going into the business stages of the competition high pressure scenarios, and they were badly looking for some experienced campaigner to come in and stabilize the middle order .
On the bowling front, pacers Mohd Imran and Khaled Ahmed have been impressive picking up 15 wickets between them. They find able from international quality spinners Wellalage from Sri Lanka and Taijul Islam and Mehidy Miraz from Bangladesh. Shoaib Malik has also rolled his arm over and managed to pick up a few wickets. And that rounds up a seriously nice selection of spinners for the captain to pick from.
Fortune Barishal Predicted Playing XI:
Tamim Iqbal (c), Ahmed Shehzad, Shoaib Malik, Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mohammad Imran, Taijul Islam, Akif Javed, Khaled Ahmed.
