Squads to choose from

Playing XI Updates
Chattogram Challengers
As the Challengers had suffered a close defeat in their last game, it is unlikely that the team management would want to make any modifications to their playing XI. The trio of Walton, Ryan Burl and Nurul Hasan will have to pull off a better show in the middle order. Also, the fans would expect English fast bowler Liam Plunkett to make the full use of his experience in the upcoming match.
Possible XI: Simmons, Siddique, Walton, Burl, Nurul, Rahman, Pinak, Rana, Plunkett, Nasum and Rubel.
Khulna Tigers
Mushfiqur Rahim would be unhappy with the performance of the top order batsmen as their lacklustre start proved to be the reason behind the team's defeat against Dhaka Platoon. Najubullah Zadran has batted well in the middle order but the quartet of Rilee Rossouw, Mehidy Hasan, Aminul Islam and Shamsur Rahman will have to play with more maturity. Besides, Shahidul Islam will have to keep a check on the run-flow in the bowling department.
Possible XI: Aminul, Mehidy, Rossouw, Rahim, Rahman, Najibullah, Frylinck, Amir, Shafiul, Tanvir and Shahidul.

The pitch at Sylhet has assisted the fast bowlers unlike Dhaka and Chattogram. The quicker bowlers have scalped more wickets at this venue while the batsmen have been able to tackle the spinners. Anything above 170 will be a par score on this pitch.
Fantasy tips and suggestions
Wicket-keeper: Mushfiqur Rahim should be the prime pick among the wicket-keepers looking at the way he played against Dhaka on this wicket. Picking Chadwick Walton ahead of him would be a huge risk.
Batsmen: Rilee Rossouw has been a match winner in the T20 format thus, he will be the top pick despite his below-par performance against Dhaka. Lendl Simmons showed his fine form with a half-century in the last match while Junaid Siddique supported him to perfection. Najibullah Zadran could be the wildcard pick among the batsmen.
All-rounders: Robbie Frylinck is an impact player who is a must-have in the fantasy teams because of his all-round skills. Mehidy Hasan had an off day against Dhaka but expect him to fire all guns blazing in the next game.
Bowlers: Mehedi Hasan Rana and Rubel Hossain have scalped wickets regularly for Chattogram Challengers. Thus, they will be the top bowling options for fantasy cricket. From Khulna Tigers, Shahidul Islam has done well but the pitch will favor Mohammad Amir more.
Captain: Rilee Rossouw is the best option for captaincy because the South African batsman can wreak havoc in this day encounter. Lendl Simmons is the other choice for captain while for the vice captain's position, Robbie Frylinck and Mehedi Hasan Rana are the viable options.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: Mushfiqur Rahim, Rilee Rossouw, Lendl Simmons, Najibullah Zadran, Junaid Siddique, Robbie Frylinck, Mehedy Hasan, Ryan Burl, Mehedi Hasan Rana, Rubel Hossain, Mohammad Amir Captain: Lendl Simmons, Vice-Captain: Robbie Frylinck
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Chadwick Walton, Rilee Rossouw, Lendl Simmons, Shamsur Rahman, Najibullah Zadran, Robbie Frylinck, Mehedy Hasan, Ryan Burl, Mehedi Hasan Rana, Shafiul Islam, Liam Plunkett Captain: Rilee Rossouw, Vice-Captain: Mehedi Hasan Rana
