Team Analysis
Sylhet Titans
Sylhet boast a balanced unit with aggressive batting led by Parvez Hossain Emon’s 125 runs at a 169 strike rate and Rony Talukdar’s steady starts.
Strengths lie in their top-order firepower and bowling depth, with Khaled Ahmed claiming five wickets in two games and Mohammad Amir adding experience; weaknesses show in middle-order fragility under pressure.
Captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Afif Hossain provide all-round stability, fueling their recent momentum.
Chattogram Royals
Chattogram rely on Mirza Tahir Baig’s 100 runs and Mohammad Naim’s anchoring, but batting collapses—like their 107 all out—expose vulnerabilities.
Their pace attack shines through Shoriful Islam and Mukidul Islam (four wickets in 4.5 overs), with Mahedi Hasan bolstering spin, though inconsistent totals hurt defending efforts.
Strengths include seam variety, but they need better partnerships to match Sylhet’s home form.
Prediction
Sylhet Titans hold the edge with home conditions, superior recent balance, and batting aggression suiting the pitch—their form and depth should secure a win by 10-15 runs or 5-7 wickets.
