FBA vs COV, BPL 2022, Qualifier 1
Date and Time: 14th February 2022, 5:00 PM IST.
Venue: Sher-E-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Dhaka
Pitch Report
A relatively high-scoring match is on the cards at the Sher-E-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. The batters should enjoy the new ball skidding on to the bat with little help on offer for the pacers. As the match progresses, the pitch should slow down and offer some turn to the spinners, who will be key today. Wickets in hand will be crucial for either side with dew also likely to come into play in the second innings. With this being the second game of the day, 150-160 could be a decent total at the venue.
Today’s FBA vs COV Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Liton Das: Liton Das has shown glimpses of his ability with the bat this season, but consistency has evaded him so far. However, Liton is one of the better batters on the Bangladesh circuit, given his ability to play both pace and spin well. With Liton likely to partner Mahmudul Joy at the top of the order, he should be a good addition to your FBA vs COV Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Munim Shahriar: Munim Shahriar has been a revelation since his debut a week ago. The right-hander has been explosive at the top of the order, even overshadowing Chris Gayle with his antics. Although Shahriar hasn't converted starts into big ones, his knack for getting Fortune Barishal off to blazing starts will be key in this encounter.
All-rounder
Shakib Al Hasan: Shakib Al Hasan has been the MVP of the BPL so far and for good reason. Shakib has been exceptional with both the bat and ball and has won quite a few player-of-the-match awards in the process. Given the form that he is in at the moment, you wouldn't want to leave Shakib out of your FBA vs COV Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Mustafizur Rahman: Mustafizur Rahman leads the bowling charts with 17 wickets this season, with his variations proving to be a handful for the opposition batters. Mustafizur has excelled in the death overs as well, which should hold him in good stead ahead of this encounter.
