CAV vs FBA Match Prediction & Betting Tips - Jan 27, 2023
The Fortune Barishal team will be looking to mount a fresh assault to the summit as they face a deflated Chattogram Challengers in match number 26 of the Bangladesh Premier League this Friday.
Fortune Barishal lost its previous match, played against a rampant Sylhet Strikers, but is still in the number 2 spot on the points table. Nevertheless, a win in this match will help them edge out the Strikers to the number 1 spot.
CAV vs FBA Team Previews
Chattogram Challengers
The Chattogram Challengers have been rather inconsistent with their performance this season and are coming into this contest on the back of 3 consecutive losses. With just 2 wins from 7 matches, the Challengers are second from the bottom and will have to fight an uphill battle if they want to make it to the next stage.
Opener Usman Khan is the leading run-getter for the Challengers thanks to the century he scored against Khulna Tigers in the second game of the season. Afif Hossain to has batted pretty well but more will be expected of him going forward. The weakest link however appears to be the middle order, as Darwish Rasooli, Ziaur Rahman, and Towfiq Khan haven’t been too reliable.
Captain Shuvagata Hom has proved to be a decent all-rounder so far, picking up 5 wickets and scoring 101 runs. Talking about the bowling, Mehidy Hasan Rana took 3 wickets in the last match but was pretty expensive. More will be expected of Mrittunjoy Chowdhury, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, and Mehedi Hasan Rana.
Chattogram Challengers Playing 11
Max O Dowd, Unmukt Chand, Shuvagata Hom, Afif Hossain, Curtis Campher, Irfan Sukkur, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, Mrittunjoy Chowdhury, Mehedi Maruf, Nihaduzzaman, Mehedi Hasan Rana.
Barisal Bulls
Led by an indomitable Shakib Al Hasan, the Fortune Barishal team has played some excellent cricket this season, winning 5 of the 7 matches played so far. However, their 5-match winning streak was snapped in the last match where they were defeated by the Sylhet Strikers.
The middle-order batting has been the biggest strength for Fortune Barishal this season, as both, Iftikhar Ahmed and Shakib Al Hasan are in good touch. Shakib is the leading run-getter of this tournament with 304 runs, while Iftikhar has scored a century and 2 half-centuries already in his 7 innings.
Ibrahim Zadran, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Anamul Haque have contributed occasionally but are due for a big inning soon. The team however will be hoping for a better bowling effort in the upcoming matches, as none of the bowlers have delivered a standout performance so far.
The team does have some strong all-round performers and they are likely to play a key role in this game.
Barisal Bulls Playing 11
Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Anamul Haque, Kamrul Islam Rabbi, Saif Hassan, Salman Hossain, Khaled Ahmed, Chaturanga de Silva, Iftikhar Ahmed, Karim Janat, Mohammad Wasim Jr.

Pitch and Conditions
The surface at Sylhet isn’t the easiest to bat on and provides the bowlers with ample opportunities to bat on. However, the smaller boundaries do give the batsmen an added advantage. The average first innings score here is around 150.
The spinners will find some turn here as the game progresses. The weather is expected to remain humid and the temperature will be in the range of 19-23 degrees Celsius.
CAV vs FBA Betting Tips
The Chattogram Challengers haven’t been in the best of forms this season and are likely to struggle against quality opposition like the Fortune Barishal. On the other hand, the Barishal team appears well-balanced and with the kind of form that Iftikhar Ahmed and Shakib Al Hasan are in, they should win this match comfortably.
Bet on Fortune Barishal to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Shakib Al Hasan is in excellent form this season and is the leading scorer for Barishal as well as in the tournament. His average for the current season is 76.00 and he has already scored 3 half-centuries in 6 innings so far. Looking at his red-hot form, we are backing him to be the top-scorer for his team in this game too.
