Pitch Report
With a fresh pitch expected, a high-scoring game is on the cards at the Sher-E-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. However, the pitch should serve up ample turn for the spinners, who will play a big role in the middle overs. Back-of-the-length and slower deliveries will be the way to go for the pacers, keeping the batters on their toes. Wickets in hand will be key, with the pitch not expected to change much during the game. Both teams will ideally look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 150-160 being par at the venue.

Wicketkeeper
Mohammad Shahzad: Mohammad Shahzad has looked in decent touch so far, scoring a quick-fire 42 against the Khulna Tigers. His explosiveness and knack for scoring big runs make him a good addition to your FBA vs MGD Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Tamim Iqbal: Tamim Iqbal has made a successful return from injury with two fifties in two games. The southpaw will be keen to continue his fine form against a strong Barishal bowling attack. With Tamim being a decent player of both pace and spin, he is one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounder
Shakib Al Hasan: Shakib Al Hasan was brilliant with the ball in the first encounter, returning with figures of 1/9 from his four overs.
