SYL vs FBA Match Preview

Fortune Barishal will take on Sylhet Strikers in Match 35 of the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League on Saturday afternoon. Barishal is in third place with 10 points, with the Strikers four points behind in sixth. Fortune Barishal is in excellent form and has easily defeated Durdanto Dhaka in each of their last two games. They can expect a much more difficult task against an in-form Sylhet Strikers, which should be a good contest. Sylhet Strikers prevailed in their last two games by five wickets, but both came against out-of-form Khulna Tigers and Durdanto Dhaka. They will need to produce one of their best performances of the season in this game.
