Team News:

Dhaka Dynamites:

Upul Tharanga got out on duck in his first match of BPL’19. He is likely to get another chance in tomorrow’s crucial encounter.

Pacer Qazi Onik or Mohot Sheikh can replace Shahadat Hossain in the playing XI.

Aliss Islam is injured and ruled out of the tournament.

Mizanur Rahman and Upul Tharanga can open the innings. Rony Talukdar, Shakib Al Hasan, K Pollard and Nurul Hasan will follow them. Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Shuvagata Hom will play the role of finisher.

Rubel Hossain and Andre Russell will be the key pacers while Shakib and Narine will lead the spin attack. Shuvagata Hom can support them.

Khulna Titans:

Lasith Malinga is ruled out due to personal reasons.

Brendan Taylor and Junaid Siddique will open the innings. N Hossain Shanto, Mahmudullah and Ariful Haque will follow them. C Brathwaite and David Wiese will play the role of an all-rounder.

David Wiese and C Brathwaite will lead the pace attack along with Ariful Haque while Taijul Islam and Mahmudullah will be the key spinners.

Local players Jahurul Islam or Al-Amin can replace Dawid Malan and Junaid Khan can occupy fourth overseas spot replacing Saddam Hossain.

Place of Ariful Haque is also risky as he has failed to perform in any match.

Probable Playing XI:

These matches can be risky as in BPL any player can be rested in any match.

Mizanur Rahman, Upul Tharanga/Heino Kuhn, Rony Talukdar, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Sunil Narine, K Pollard, A Russell, Nurul Hasan (wk), Shuvagata Hom, Rubel Hossain, Shahadat Hossain/Qazi Onik/Mohor Sheikh.
