Bangladesh Premier League (BPL 2018-19): Match 37, Chittagong Vikings vs Dhaka Dynamites: Dream11 Prediction, Playing XI Updates & Fantasy Cricket Tips - January 30, 2019
In their last home game of this year's edition of the Bangladesh Premier League, Chittagong Vikings will be looking to end on a high by sealing a play-off place as they take on a formidable Dhaka Dynamites side, who have slightly fallen off the radar with consecutive losses to Comilla and Rangpur.
While Chittagong have felt the effects of the absence of Robert Frylinck, Dhaka have not been able to contain oppositions, despite having a great bowling line-up.
With both teams playing their penultimate game, only a win would satisfy their needs on a flat Chattogram pitch.
Squads to choose from:
Chittagong Vikings:
Sunzamul Islam, Sikandar Raza, Luke Ronchi, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mohammad Shahzad, Robbie Frylinck, Mosaddek Hossain, Dasun Shanaka, Abu Jayed, Khaled Ahmed, Najibullah Zadran, Nayeem Hasan, Cameron Delport, Mohammad Ashraful, Robiul Haque, Yasir Ali, Nihaduzzaman, Shadman Islam
Dhaka Dynamites:
Shakib Al Hasan (c), Sunil Narine, Rovman Powell, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Hazratullah Zazai, Rubel Hossain, Nurul Hasan, Rony Talukdar, Shuvagata Hom, Andrew Birch, Ian Bell, Qazi Onik, Mizanur Rahman, Asif Hasan, Shahadat Hossain, Mohammad Naim and Mohor Sheikh.
Playing XI Updates:
Chittagong Vikings:
Vikings shouldn't make many changes with the core of the team already finalized. Players such as Khaled Ahmed and Yasir Ali have exceeded expectations which makes this team a very tough opposition to beat. The onus will be on Abu Jayed and Mushfiqur Rahim to come up with the goods once again to please the home fans and end the leg on a high.
Possible XI: Delport/Ronchi, Shahzad (WK), Yasir Ali, Rahim(C), Mosaddek, Raza, Zadran, Abu Jayed, Khaled, Robiul and Nayeem.
Dhaka Dynamites:
After an AB special undid all the good work done by the Dynamites, they will be pondering a few changes with the team not able to restrict oppositions of late. Onik should keep his place unless Andrew Birch is drafted in for him with Hazratullah Zazai making way. In this case, Mizanur Rahman could play to add another batting option.
Possible XI: Narine, Talukdar, Shakib(C), Zazai/Mizanur, Pollard, Russell, Hom, Nurul(WK), Birch, Rubel and Shahadat.
Fantasy Tips and Suggestions:
Wicket-keeper: Mohammed Shahzad is the ideal choice considering his ability to give quick starts at the top and his recent form. He is one of the go-to batsmen in the Vikings side and should be able to put in a good performance on a flat pitch.
Batsmen: Mushfiqur Rahim, Yasir Ali and Rony Talukdar are the ideal players to have in your fantasy side considering recent form. Talukdar scored an impressive fifty against the Riders and will be looking to build on it come Wednesday. Kieron Pollard is also a handy option as well.
All-rounders: Shakib Al Hasan has been the best player of BPL so far and along with Sunil Narine and Sikander Raza, they are invaluable picks to any fantasy side. Andre Russell hasn't been at his best but considering his ability, he could also be a useful option to go by.
