Sylhet Strikers is the favorite to win this match.
If Khulna Tigers were to win this match, it would come as a huge upset. Both teams lost their most recent games, however, the Strikers’ loss was just their third while the Tigers’ was their eighth. The return of Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim to the bowling attack bodes well for the Strikers’ ability to control the ball. We anticipate Sylhet Strikers to victory.
