Bangabandhu BPL 2022, Chattogram Challengers vs Fortune Barishal: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

Chattogram Challengers and Fortune Barishal are set to lock horns in Match No.1 of the Bangabandhu BPL 2022 on Friday, January 21 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.

The Challengers have a power-packed squad at their disposal for the upcoming edition of the tournament. Kennar Lewis and Will Jacks are genuine power-hitters and can change the course of matches in a jiffy. Sabbir Rahman will also look to have a decent campaign.

Ben Howell has prior experience of playing in the BPL and is expected to be a vital asset for the Challengers. Afif Hossain Dhrubo, the pocket-size dynamite with the bat, is more than handy with his off-breaks as well. Shofiful Islam and Nasum Ahmed have raised their game over the last few months.

Barishal, on the other hand, can't be undermined either. Their fortunes depend on how Shakib Al Hasan, Chris Gayle and Dwayne Bravo perform. Najmul Hossain Shanto had a decent outing in New Zealand and he'd want to carry the momentum in the shorter format.

Mehedi Hasan Rana showed great promise when the BPL took place two years ago and he'd be looking to replicate something similar this time around. Nurul Hasan Sohan can hit the ball a fair distance and he's expected to lend solidity to Barishal's batting unit.
