Players To Watch out for

Chris Gayle

Chris Gayle was among the runs in the previous game, spending good time with the bat, and regaining his explosive touch. He comes with immense experience, and his form could help Barishal as they are struggling with the bat. A strong showing from the likes of him and Shakib Al Hasan though could make a huge impact on how the side goes in the season.

Soumya Sarkar

With the pitch expected to take turn, openers will have to do a good chunk of the work upfront. Runs will be easier to score with the new ball and Soumya Sarkar’s aggression early on can help set-up the game for his side.

Team News

Both sides are likely to bolster their spin attacks, while Dwayne Bravo may also be in consideration for the fixture, after being rotated.
