Pre-Match Analysis:
Fortune Barishal’s impressive 6-match winning streak was frozen with a 24-run loss to Chittagong Kings on Saturday. The defeat didn’t matter at all for the leaders who signed off their campaign with 18 points. However, Fortune Barishal need to be aware of Chittagong Kings whom they face next up in the Qualifier 1. They have got all the resources to return to the winning ways with the likes of Tamim Iqbal (330) and Dawid Malan (281) topping the run-scoring charts, while their big trio Mahmudullah (199), Towhid Hridoy (198) and Mushfiqur Rahim (168) are hungry for more after having a reasonable competition so far.
Barishal will be missing the services of Faheem Ashraf, their top performer with the ball (20 wickets) as he joined the Pakistan National camp ahead of the Tri-Series and Champions Trophy. In his absence, Rishad Hossain, Tanvir Islam, and Jahandad Khan have to step up on the big occasion.
Chittagong Kings beat top teams Fortune Barishal and Rangpur Riders in their last 3 matches to surprise everyone as they made it to Qualifier 1. They will be thrilled with the outcome in their last fixture where they beat leaders Fortune Barishal convincingly by 24 runs. Parvez Hossain Emon put on a show, delivering a high-class batting display with a 41-ball 75 which was filled with 8 sixes and a four. Late fireworks from Haider Ali (42*) and Shamim Hossain Patwari (30*) took them to 206 for 4 in 20 overs.
The bowlers in response got it right with Binura Fernando and Al Islam, picking up 2 wickets to restrict Barishal to 182 for 7. With momentum on their side, they will head into Qualifier 1 as favorites.
