Pitch Report
The track at the Chattogram venue will benefit the batsmen. Generally, this track is considered better than the one we find at the Mirpur ground. Hence, high scores are expected on this track. But the spinners might come into play in the second innings. We expect warm and sunny weather during this competition.
Toss Prediction
The conditions at this venue are quite even for the batting and bowling teams. Out of a total of 276 T20 internationals played at this venue, 14 were won by the teams bowling first while 13 were won by the teams batting first. There is hardly any difference in the winning percentage. However, in a T20 match, under such conditions, it is better to bowl first and try to reach the target in the second half. The team that wins the coin toss should bowl first here.
Weather Report
Rain will not be a problem on this match day but since it is an afternoon match, dew will not be a factor. Captains would not shy away from batting first as the weather is providing fairly good conditions for teams to take advantage of the batting conditions.
Head to Head
The teams Dhaka Capitals and Fortune Barishal have played each other four times in the BPL in the past. Both teams share the title with a 2-2 record. Dhaka Capital won the last match between the two teams last year.
Venue Details
The venue for the match is Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. It is one of the best cricket stadiums in Bangladesh. It was previously known as Chittagong Divisional Stadium but was later renamed in honor of political leader Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury.
Match Prediction
Fortune Barishal have done well so far, winning three of their first five matches while Dhaka Capitals have lost six of their first seven matches this season. Although Dhaka Capitals had a great win in their last match, their form in the tournament has been abysmal. Fortune Barishal, on the other hand, have only lost to the league leaders and won everything else. So far, we believe Fortune Barishal has the upper hand in this match against Dhaka Capitals.
We predict Fortune Barishal to beat Dhaka Capitals.
Betting Tips
Dhaka Capitals won their last match in the competition convincingly. But does that eliminate all the problems of their previous performances? We don't think so. They lost six games in a row before crushing Darbar Rajshahi in their last match. Fortune Barishal have done a more consistent job so far, winning three out of five matches. Overall, they are the better team and should win.
Bet on Fortune Barishal to win.
