DD Vs KHT: Team Previews

Durdanto Dhaka

The rebranding surely didn't bring any luck to Durdanto Dhaka, as the team slipped to the bottom two in the points table after a recent loss against Rangpur Riders. Chasing a target of 184 runs, Dhaka's top order witnessed an embarrassing collapse. Azmatullah Omarzai and Mahedi Hasan wreaked havoc with the ball and ended the night with five wickets in total.

After Danushka went for a duck, Pakistan's promising youngster Saim Ayub failed to leave a mark, and Durdanto was four down under seven overs with only 32 runs on board. Needless to say, the Riders tightened the leash and bowled out Dhaka in 17 overs of the chase. 

That being said, Durdanto Dhaka has a lot to contemplate before they take on the Khulna Tigers on Monday. Batters need to take responsibility and support the bowling unit, which has been phenomenal this season.

Khulna Tigers

Meanwhile, the Khulna Tigers have been riding on an unbeaten spree. The Tigers sit at the top of the points table with six points added to its tally. Khulna Tigers have come together as a strong unit, putting collective efforts in each single game. 

In their previous game against Rangpur Riders, the bowling unit led by Dasun Shanaka restricted the Riders to 132 runs in the chase of 161 runs. Mohammad Wasim Jr and Mohammad Nawz chipped in two wickets each to topple Babar Azam-led Rangpur Riders.

As far as the next course of action is concerned, the Tigers need to extend the winning momentum. Additionally, the top order could do better by building up crucial partnerships in the middle. 

But overall, the Tigers will surely set out as favorites against Durdanto Dhaka on Monday.
