With each passing match of this edition of Bangladesh T20 League, the craze among the cricket fans for this tournament is rapidly growing. The 27th match of the tournament will witness another thrilling encounter between Chattogram Challengers and Cumilla Warriors. The match is slated to take place on 31st December at 1 PM in Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, Dhaka. Both the teams have stark difference between their standings on the points table, with the Challengers reigning at the pinnacle with 8 points. Whereas Cumilla Warriors have not been quite impressive as they are positioned at fifth spot. This match is going to be a treat for the fans as the year comes to a close.
Chattogram Challengers have been in a sensational form in this entire season with Lendl Simmons, Avishka Fernando, Imrul Kayes and Mahmudullah on their side, bolstering their aggressive batting line-up. Especially, Imrul Kayes is the player to watch for, as he has scored 289 runs in 8 matches. As far as bowling is concerned, Chattogram based side has Mehedi Hasan Rana and Rubel Hossain, who are expected to exhibit a brilliant performance by picking up wickets at regular intervals.
On the other hand, Cumilla Warriors lost to Rajshahi Royals in their previous match and they are expecting to get their campaign back on track with a win against Challengers. Out of seven matches they have played so far, they have registered only 2 wins and lost 5 matches. This match is more important to them than to the Challengers, and they have high hopes from all-rounder Soumya Sarkar, Dawid Malan for a spectacular batting display. Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Al-Amin Hossain are anticipated to turn table to their side with their bowling prowess.
