Khulna Tigers vs Sylhet Strikers Preview

Sylhet Strikers' inconsistent performances came back to haunt them, in what was a real kick in the teeth, which saw them lose the plot completely before they crashed out of the league stage.

Nevertheless, they will operate as party-poppers in their last game as they will play against a team that is desperately vying for a place in the playoffs. Khulna Tigers led by Anamul Haque got off to a terrific start to the season, winning the first four games.

However, as the tournament progressed, they went on to lose six of their seven games and their costly mistakes saw them dug their own grave but they still have a chance of qualifying for the playoffs if certain criteria is met.

First of all, their upcoming game against Sylhet Strikers is not only a must-win game but also they should win by a good margin. Besides that, they will have to rely on other result to go in their favour.

They will expect Fortune Barishal to surrender to Comilla Victorians a big margin to keep their playoffs hopes alive and it remains to be seen what the future holds in store for Khulna Tigers.

Jason Holder and Shai Hope will be players to watch out for the Tigers whereas Kennar Lewis and Tanzim Hasan Sakib are expected to dictate the terms for Sylhet Strikers.
