Players To Watch out for

Soumya Sarkar

In the last few games Soumya Sarkar has looked good. He is among the runs and has also chipped in with a few wickets. With the Sylhet pitch best early in the game, as an opener Sarkar will have a role to play, and he has done a decent job building a plat form so far.

Tamim Iqbal

Tamim Iqbal didn’t do too much wrong against the Challengers and will be heartbroken for not taking his side across the line. He batted with a lot of patience and calculated aggression as he got to 73, but his efforts weren’t enough. Spending time in the crease may have helped though and Iqbal could be a dangerous factor in the upcoming game.
