FBA vs DBR Probable Winners:

Both teams have major concerns to address, and they enter this game after a massive batting collapse. On a difficult batting surface, the struggling Barishal lineup will be tested. The two sides will have a close encounter. Both batting lineups have plenty of firepower. However, the experience and depth of Barishal's batting order, combined with their bowling attack, puts them slightly ahead according to our match prediction. Considering the team combination, Durbar Rajshahi is expected to win this match.
