Dhaka Dominators vs Sylhet Strikers Prediction: Both teams have not good season

Dhaka Dominators and Sylhet Strikers are going head to head in the 24th Match of Bangladesh Premier League at Sher-E-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Dhaka, Bangladesh on 07 Feb 2024. Both teams have not had a good season. Who will win this game of cricket?

The Durdanto Shaka team has been performing poorly in the tournament and currently holds the last position in the BPL's points table. They have suffered five consecutive losses and are in a state of disarray. In their six attempts, the Dhaka outfit has only managed to secure one victory, resulting in a total of two points and a net run rate of -1.710. Recently, they played against Rangpur Riders, where the opposing team batted first and scored 174 runs for the loss of four wickets. In response, the Durdanto Dhaka team was bowled out for 115 runs in 18 overs, losing the game by a 60-run margin. Mosaddek Hossain performed well in the bowling department for Dhaka, taking two wickets for 30 runs in four overs. Despite losing early wickets, their opening batsman, Mohammad Naim, played a solid innings, scoring 44 runs from 31 balls and helping the Dhaka unit achieve a respectable score. However, the other batsmen failed to make significant contributions.

In a positive light, the performance of the Sylhet Strikers team in the Durdanto Dhaka tournament has been quite disappointing. They have suffered six losses in their last seven games and hold a slightly higher rank than Dhaka on the points table solely due to their better net run rate. The Sylhet Strikers recently played against the Rangpur Riders, where the Riders batted first and managed to score 162 runs while losing seven wickets in their allotted overs. Unfortunately, the Sylhet Strikers failed miserably in their run chase and got bowled out for a mere 85 runs in 16.5 overs, never posing a threat for a successful chase. The standout bowlers for the Sylhet Strikers were Samit Patel, who took two wickets for 14 runs in four overs, and Harry Tector, who also took two wickets for 24 runs in three overs. Among the Sylhet Strikers players, Ryan Burl was the only one who contributed significantly, scoring 43 runs off 32 balls with three fours and three sixes.

There have been approximately 250 domestic T20 matches played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur Dhaka, and the teams batting second have had more victories than those batting first.

Typically, the wicket at the Shere Bangla National Stadium is beneficial for batsmen, but there will also be opportunities for spinners. While batters may find it easier to face pacers at the beginning of the innings, spinners can pose difficulties, especially later on.

For this particular game, we are anticipating clear skies with an evening temperature of around 23 degrees. There is no chance of rain or cloud cover, which means the track won't offer much assistance to the bowlers.

Both teams will be eager for a win, making it an intense contest. The Sylhet team has recently secured a victory in the tournament, which could give them an advantage. Therefore, we predict that the Sylhet Strikers will win this match.
