Things just haven’t gone Durdanto Dhaka’s way this year. After winning their season opener against Comilla Victorians, they have lost six matches in a row. In their previous game, Comilla Victorians chased down Dhaka’s target of 176 with just one ball to spare.
Durdanto Dhaka’s batting has largely revolved around Mohammad Naim. The opener is the team’s top run-getter this year with 256 runs in 8 matches at a strike rate of 129. Even in the team’s previous game against Comilla, he top-scored with a classy 64 off 45 balls.
Another batter to watch out for is Saif Hassan, who is fresh off a knock of 57 off 42 deliveries against Comilla yesterday.
Dhaka’s bowling attack has been almost single-handedly led by Shoriful Islam. With 13 wickets in 7 matches, Islam’s impressive form with the ball is the biggest asset of Dhaka's bowling attack.

Fortune Barishal are currently sitting in fifth place in the standings. They have four matches left in the league stage and can end up in the top four if the next few games go their way. Luckily for them, they are playing their next matches against a struggling Durdanto Dhaka.
Mushfiqur Rahim of Barishal has been the team's most consistent batter. Mushfiqur has scored 238 runs in his last 7 matches, and his performance could be crucial for Barishal in their forthcoming match against Dhaka.
Captain Tamim Iqbal has led from the front as well, scoring 198 runs in 7 matches at a strike rate of 113. In the previous game against Chattogram Challengers, he top-scored with a well-made 49 off 46 balls.
Among the bowlers, Mohammad Imran has done a wonderful job, taking 10 wickets in 6 matches at an economy of 8.74. His role will be important for Braishal in this match.
The team might bring back Khaled Ahmed for this match, who is their second-most successful bowler this year with 7 wickets in 5 matches.

The pitch at the Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium is conducive to bowlers, providing assistance to both pace and spin. Batsmen will need to demonstrate patience and adaptability to excel on this wicket, as it has slowed down considerably since the start of the tournament.
The weather in Dhaka during the match will be mostly cloudy and pleasant. There are no chances of rain, so we will get a full game.
The average first innings score at the Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium is around the 150-run mark. This season, the highest total posted at the venue is 188-2 by Khulna Tigers while chasing against Fortune Barishal. The team batting first will be looking to set a target of around 150-160 runs.
11 of the 14 matches played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium this year in the BPL have been won by the chasing side. So, going by the track record, it’s very likely that the toss-winning team would prefer to field first here.
Suffering six defeats in a row can be extremely demoralizing, and it seems highly unlikely that Durdanto Dhaka will be able to make a comeback this season. They are up against a considerably stronger team, Fortune Barishal, who have a well-sorted batting and bowling lineup. We reckon Fortune Barishal will dominate this contest.
Fortune Barishal are favorites to win this match.
