How Will the Sylhet Stadium Pitch Behave?

The conditions at the Sylhet International Stadium will provide considerable assistance to spinners in the middle overs owing to the slow nature of the surface. Batters can also amass big scores at the venue, as evidenced by the first match hosted here this season. The average first innings total in Sylhet in all BPL matches so far has amounted to 175.

Players To Watch Out For In FBA vs SYL Match 12

Fortune Barishal

Tamim Iqbal

Fortune Barishal opening batter Tamim Iqbal slapped a match-winning 86* from just 48 balls against Durbar Rajshahi on January 6. Overall, the dashing left-hander has amassed 121 runs in just three matches of the season at a splendid average of 60.50.

Shaheen Afridi

Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi starts out as one of the most experienced members of the Fortune Barishal pace attack. An early blitz from Afridi with the new ball might well set the tone for the Barishal against Sylhet Strikers.

Mahmudullah

Senior Bangladesh cricketer Mahmudullah clattered a 26-ball 56* for the Fortune Barishal last week. The 38-year-old has scored his runs this BPL 2024-25 season at a blistering strike rate of 194.11.

Kyle Mayers

Kyle Mayers has been in prolific touch with both bat and ball in T20 matches off late. In his past nine T20 appearances, the West Indies all-rounder has racked up 286 runs and has picked up 11 wickets, both at impressive averages.

Sylhet Strikers

Rony Talukdar

Sylhet Strikers opener Rony Talukdar has notched up notable runs in each of his two outings with the bat this season. In his previous match a couple of days ago, the elegant right-hander charted a fluent 32-ball 54 against the Rangpur Riders.

Tanzim Hasan Sakib

Tanzim Hasan Sakib has picked up 12 wickets in his last seven T20 matches, and four in his last two to emerge as the most successful Sylhet Strikers bowler this BPL 2024-25 season.

Jaker Ali

Sylhet Strikers wicketkeeper-batter Jaker Ali clobbered a five-ball 20* a couple of days ago in Sylhet. With a penchant of scoring quick runs in the slog overs, Jaker is an invaluable asset for the Strikers in the middle order.

Aaron Jones

Sylhet Strikers’ USA-based star Aaron Jones has the tendency to go berserk in the slog overs. The cricketer has also been in blistering touch with the bat off late, considering he whacked a 19-ball 38* cameo against the Riders earlier this BPL 2024-25 season.
