Match: Khulna Tigers Vs Sylhet Sunrisers
Date: 7th February 2022
Time: 17:00 IST
Venue: Sylhet
A cool evening is expected and dew may make an appearance in the Khulna Tigers Vs Sylhet Sunrisers fixture. There is no rain in the forecast, and a full game is expected.
A fresh but naturally dry surface will be used, but with two games on the same day, there may be some extra wear in the surface. The ball may assist the spinners, but with dew around the team batting second should find things easier.
Soumya Sarkar, Andre Fletcher, Mushfiqur Rahim (c & wk), Yasir Ali, Thisara Perera, Mahedi Hasan, Jaker Ali, Seekkuge Prasanna, Khaled Ahmed, Kamrul Islam Rabbi, Nabil Samad
Anamul Haque (wk), Lendl Simmons, Mohammad Mithun, Colin Ingram, Nadif Chowdhury, Mosaddek Hossain (c), Sohag Gazi, Muktar Ali, Shiraz Ahmed, Jubair Hossain, Nazmul Islam
Soumya Sarkar has had a silent season but found some form in the previous game with a nice 43. He is a handy all-rounder and top-order batter. With the playoffs around the corner, Khulna will hope he spends some time in the middle and finds some consistency.
None of the Sylhet players got going this season, and Simmons is no different. With Sylhet having low chances of qualifying players like Simmons could come out with some freedom. With the IPL Auction on its way, a couple of strong innings from him may help catch the eye of some franchises.
Khulna is going to go unchanged unless somebody is injured or rested. Sylhet could make some rotations as they still look to find the right balance, and will want to try some new players as they begin preparation for next season.
Going by Sylhet Sunrisers form, it is tough to see Khulna lose the upcoming fixture. An easy win for Khulna seems likely with little chance given to Sylhet.
Today’s match prediction: Khulna Tigers will win the match.
