Team Analysis:
Chattogram Challengers:
Mehidy Hasan-led side is looking strong and has a decent start to the tournament. Kennar Lewis played a crucial knock in the previous match and should be in the fantasy team. Middle-order batters like Sabbir (32 off 33), skipper Mehidy Hasan (30 off 23) and Howell (30 off 24) can also join Lewis in the fantasy team. In the bowling department, Rejaur Rahman Raja finished the game with an economy of 5.00, which is extraordinary in the game's shortest format.
Khulna Tiger:
Top-order batsmen Andre Fletcher and Rony Talukdar showed a lot of potential in Tiger's first game and will look to repeat the same in the next match against Challengers. Although bowlers conceded many runs in that match, Kamrul Islam was extraordinary as he clinched 3-wickets. He should join others in the fantasy team.

Key Players:
Team's Analysis:
Sylhet Thunder
Nazmul Islam's 4-wicket haul and Taskin Ahmed's 3-wicket in 2.4 overs helped Thunder restrict Dhaka to 100 in their last face-off. Both the players are vital picks in the fantasy team as they will look to repeat their performance in the next performance. Anamul Haque (wk) played a good 45 run knock to ensure victory in a low-scoring match and must make the cut to the fantasy team.
Dhaka Platoon:
In their last match, the team played brilliantly against Fortune Barishal. Andre Russell's brilliant performance with bat and bowl helped the team to clinch the game. Russell has been an extraordinary player in the game's shortest format and mandatory to be in the fantasy team. Mahmudullah, the skipper, also played a brilliant knock in the match and should join Russell.
