Tamim Iqbal was the highest run-scorer as he scored 74 runs on 53 deliveries. Thisara Perera was another successful performer, as he scalped five wickets in his four overs bowled out against 30. With the likes of Wahab Riaz, Mahedi Hasan and skipper Mashrafe Mortaza, the team is expected to give a pretty solid attack to the opponent.
Sylhet Thunder Preview
Sylhet franchise has been struggling to grab their first win. They have lost their first match against Chattogram Challengers, and then the second match against Rajshahi Royals. Losing the games by huge margins has languished them at the second slot from the bottom of the table. Even their top-order batsmen had given an average performance. Skipper Mosaddek Hossain and Mohammad Mithun could hardly score 20 runs each. Only Nayeem Hasan appeared as the most economical bowler from their side. The team hopes that their power-packed batting and blowing forces prove their potential in this match.
