Match: Chattogram Challengers Vs Sylhet Sunrisers
Date: January 29th, 2022
Time: 17:00PM IST
Venue: Chattogram
The weather is cool for the evening with clear skies and temperatures in the low 20s. Due to the low temperatures, there is a small chance of dew during the Chattogram Challengers Vs Sylhet Sunrisers game, which could help sides batting second.
The surface is fresh, but slow as shown in the first game at Chattogram. The slowness though may be tested due to the dew factor, but in case there is no dew, spin will have a massive role to play in the Chattogram Challengers Vs Sylhet Sunrisers game
Sylhet Sunrisers: Anamul Haque, Colin Ingram, Mohammad Mithun, Ravi Bopara, Mosaddek Hossain(C), Alok Kapali, Sohag Gazi, Muktar Ali, Kesrick Williams, Taskin Ahmed, Nazmun Islam
Chattogram Challengers: Kennar Lewis( wk ), Will Jacks, Afif Hossain, Sabbir Rahman, Mehidy Hasan Miraj (c), Benny Howell, Shamin Hossain, Naeem Islam, Nasum Ahmed, Mukidul Islam, Shoriful Islam
With the slowness of the surface and proximity of dew, Mehidy Hasan may have a key role to play upfront, with the new and dry ball. He is a strong bet with the new ball, and some early wickets from him could set the game up nicely for Chattogram.
Taskin Ahmed is in some decent form, after bowling well in recent times. He had a good time in New Zealand, and has the ability to touch high speeds with the ball. Despite the slowness expected in the surface the quality he brings can help make an impact as Sylhet look to climb up the ladder.
Both sides are expected to play the same eleven while there is a possibility of sides extending their batting line-up. The slowness of the surface and dew factor may push sides to lengthen their line-up, giving them more chances to go after the spinners in conditions that are meant to favor them, but can’t due to the dew.
The side batting second is likely to have an advantage depending on how the weather conditions turn out. With quality spinners like Mehidy Hasan in Chattogram though, Chattogram will be better placed to take advantage of a slow surface, leaving them in a stronger position. Their batting line-up also has some quality, and Chattogram are likely to end as winners unless Sylhet fight the odds and come up strong.
