Fortune Barishal Preview

Fortune Barishal has been a dominant force in the 2024-25 Bangladesh Premier League season, currently positioned second on the points table with four wins and two losses in six matches. With 8 points and a strong net run rate (NRR) of +1.067, they are well-placed to secure a top-two finish in the league stage. Their only defeats have come against the table-toppers Rangpur Riders, indicating their stronghold against other teams.

Season Highlights

Fortune Barishal began their campaign with a convincing win against Rajshahi Durbar, chasing down 143 with four wickets in hand. Mahmudullah’s match-winning knock of 56 off 26 balls set the tone for the team. Although they suffered a setback in their second game against Rangpur Riders, they quickly bounced back with another victory over Rajshahi Durbar, this time chasing 169 with 7 wickets in hand, thanks to Tamim Iqbal’s unbeaten 86 off 48 balls.

Their most comprehensive win came against Dhaka Capitals, where they chased down a target of 140 in just 16 overs, losing only two wickets. Jahandad Khan’s exceptional bowling performance (3/18) and Tamim Iqbal’s consistency were pivotal in their successes.

Key Players

• Tamim Iqbal: The leading run-scorer for Fortune Barishal, Tamim has amassed 222 runs in six matches with remarkable consistency at the top of the order.
• Faheem Ashraf: The leading wicket-taker for the team with seven scalps, Ashraf’s ability to pick crucial wickets has been instrumental.
• Mahmudullah: The experienced all-rounder has delivered under pressure, particularly with the bat, providing the team with stability in the middle order.

Strengths

Fortune Barishal boasts a balanced team with depth in both batting and bowling. Their top order, led by Tamim and supported by Dawid Malan, has been reliable in chasing targets. In the bowling department, the likes of Tanvir Islam and Faheem Ashraf have provided breakthroughs consistently.

Challenges

Their inability to challenge the Rangpur Riders remains a concern. To clinch the title, Fortune Barishal will need to find a strategy to overcome the Riders’ dominance. Additionally, their middle order, apart from Mahmudullah, has yet to showcase its potential fully.

Chittagong Kings Preview

Chittagong Kings are in third place on the points table with an identical record to Fortune Barishal—four wins and two losses in six matches. However, their NRR (+0.980) is slightly behind their rivals, placing additional pressure on their performance as they aim for a top-two finish.

Season Highlights

The Kings started their season with a loss to Khulna Tigers, falling short by 37 runs while chasing 204. Shamim Hossain’s 78 off 38 balls was the lone bright spot in that game. However, they bounced back emphatically in their second match, registering a massive 105-run win against Rajshahi Durbar, courtesy of Usman Khan’s brilliant 123 off 62 balls.

The Kings followed up with three consecutive wins, including a 7-wicket triumph over Dhaka Capitals, a 30-run win against Sylhet Strikers, and a 45-run victory over Khulna Tigers. Despite this momentum, their recent loss to Rangpur Riders by 33 runs exposed vulnerabilities in both their bowling at the death and their batting under pressure.

Key Players

• Graham Clark: The leading run-scorer for the Kings with 263 runs, Clark has been a consistent performer at the top of the order.
• Aliss Al Islam: The tournament’s top wicket-taker with 11 scalps, Islam’s contributions have been vital in the middle overs.
• Usman Khan: His century against Rajshahi Durbar remains one of the standout performances of the season.

Strengths

Chittagong Kings possess an explosive batting lineup led by Graham Clark and Usman Khan, who can turn games around single-handedly. Their bowling attack, spearheaded by Aliss Al Islam, is effective in limiting runs and taking wickets during the middle overs.

Challenges

The Kings have struggled to maintain consistency, particularly in high-pressure games. Their inability to finish off opponents, as seen in their loss to Rangpur Riders, highlights issues in their death bowling. Additionally, their reliance on a few key players for runs and wickets could become a vulnerability in crunch matches.
