Khulna Tigers will be crossing the swords with Sylhet Strikers in the 25th match of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) on Friday at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium. Sylhet Strikers’ struggle to lift themselves in the points table continues as they struggle at the bottom position from second in the points table with two victories from their eight games. They have suffered six defeats as they carry four points along with the negative NRR of -1.265. 

However, they will take comfort after having registered their victory in their last outing against Durdanto Dhaka. They had their five-wicket win in that game. Sylhet Strikers have promising players in the form of Harry Tector, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Benny Howell. 

Khulna Tigers, on the other hand, are on the fourth position in the points table with four victories from their six matches. They have lost two games with eight points and the positive NRR of +0.535 in their tally. 

Tigers played their last game against Comilla Victorians that they lost by 34 runs, bringing huge disappointment to their smooth campaign. Their players like Evin Lewis, Anamul Haque and Afif Hossain will be expected to help the side in their success. 

Khulna Tigers Probable XI: Anamul Haque (c & wk), Evin Lewis, Parvez Hossain Emon, Akbar Ali, Afif Hossain, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Nawaz, Nahidul Islam, Nasum Ahmed , Mohammad Wasim Jr, Mukidul Islam

Sylhet Strikers Probable XI: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Harry Tector, Samit Patel, Zakir Hasan, Mohammad Mithun (c & wk), Ryan Burl, Ariful Haque, Benny Howell, Nayeem Hasan, Rejaur Rahman Raja, Tanzim Hasan Sakib
