Key Player

Mushfiqur Rahim

Rahim is another player who has defined Bangladesh Cricket. Facing a tough task the other night, Rahim couldn’t help his team get over the line, and the captain will want to make amends as soon as possible. With an opportunity to get back against the same opponents quickly, Rahim, being the feisty character he is will look to fight hard and bring a win to his side.

Benny Howell

In the previous fixture against Khulna, Benny Howell came in and made a quick cameo, which proved to be the difference between a good score and a match-winning one. He has the potential to be a strong finisher for Chattogram and has a great chance to build on the momentum achieved as he is playing the same side.

Team News

Both sides displayed decent performance with the bat, and are likely to maintain the same elevens, despite the difference in fortunes.
