In the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2024, Sylhet Strikers (SYL) have struggled to replicate their consistency from the previous season. Led by Mashrafe Mortaza, they find themselves at the bottom of the table after losing all three of their matches. Their batting lineup’s poor performance has been a major setback, and they must improve in upcoming games to stay competitive.
Next up, Sylhet will face Fortune Barishal (FBR), currently fifth in the standings with just one win in four matches. Despite a commendable effort against Chattogram Challengers in their last match, Tamim Iqbal’s team fell short by 10 runs. However, standout performances from Ahmed Shehzad and Mehidy Hasan Miraz with the bat, along with Taijul Islam’s promising bowling, offer some positives. Yet, there’s still ample room for improvement for Barishal.
