Match Prediction
A match which features two of the strongest team of this competition also marks the return of Shakib al Hasan to competitive cricket. He is a part of the Gemcon Khulna Squad which is led by Mahmudullah Riyad. Along with Shakib, the team also a strong batting unit supported by an equally strong bowling unit comprising players like Nazmul Islam and Al Amin Hossain.
Led by Tamim Iqbal, Fortune Barishal is also a competent team and would attempt to start with a winning streak against Gemcon Khulna. The captain himself has recently shown glimpses of his ability in PSL Playoffs. With the support of players like Afif Hossain and Mehedi Miraz, their team though being underdogs will be a tough one to beat.

Pitch Report
The Sher-e-Bangla Stadium has a decent batting track and the pitch mustn’t change much as the game progresses. In the second innings, dew might play a role. The batsmen should feel at ease in the middle though there should be some swing and turn off the surface. Its expected that both the teams will look to chase on winning the toss with a competitive total at this venue being 160-170 runs.
