CGC vs SYS Match Prediction & Analysis
Chattogram Challengers finished at the bottom of the points table in the last season with just 3 wins from 12 matches. Whereas, Sylhet Sixers were the table toppers and finished as runners-up in Bangladesh Premier League 2023.
The two teams will lock horns in the 2nd match of the BPL 2024 at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Dhaka on Friday, 19th of January. There have been some significant changes in both squads.
While the Challengers have released 6 all-rounders, the Sixers replaced 3 of their bowlers from last season - Mohammad Amir, Rubel Hossain, and Mohammad Irfan.
Can Sylhet Sixers continue their dominance this season with a new-look bowling attack? Or will they miss the services of these 3 bowlers? Chattogram Challengers had finished with 89 for 9 batting first against Sylhet in the season opener last year.
It was Rejaur Rahman Raja who bagged 4 wickets for 14 for the Sixers. However, with some new gs in the batting department, Chattogram will be hoping for a much better start.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Chattogram Challengers Preview
Chattogram Challengers have brought in a few big-hitting batters while letting go of most of their all-rounders from the last season including skipper Afif Hossain.
That means the Challengers will have a new captain this year. Shykat Ali, Tanzid Hasan, Shahad Hossain, and Najibullah Zadran are the only specialist batters in this side.
4 batters, 3 all-rounders, and 3 wicket-keeper batters are the batting composition of this squad. None of these 4 batters featured in the last season for Chattogram.
Moreover, the wicket-keeper batters have also replaced those from last year. Except for the all-rounders in this side, it is a completely new-look batting lineup. After finishing at the bottom of the points table last year, such a decision from the Challengers isn’t surprising.
The likes of Mohammad Haris, Stephen Eskinazi, and Najibulah Zadran will be their best bets this year. These three will be the key players to watch out for in the batting department.
Shuvagta Hom, a batting all-rounder retained from last season is also a promising batter and will be expected to lead the run-scoring for the side. Curtis Campher should be in the finishers’ role in the lower order.
And when it comes to bowling, not one of the players from last year was retained. It is a completely new bowling attack led by Mohammad Hasnain and Al-Amin Hossain. They will be ed by Bilal Khan, a left-arm fast-medium bowler who represents Oman.
Chattogram Challengers Predicted Playing XI:
Tanzid Hasan, Stephen Eskinazi (wk), Shuvagata Hom (c), Shykat Ali, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Haris, Ziaur Rahman, Mohammad Hasnain, Al-Amin Hossain, Shohidul Islam, Bilal Khan
Chattogram Challengers Actual Playing XI:
Imran Uzzaman, Najibullah Zadran, Shahadat Hossain, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Curtis Campher, Shuvagata Hom, Bilal Khan, Al-Amin Hossain, Shohidul Islam, Avishka Fernando, Nihaduzzaman
Sylhet Strikers Preview
There will be no Mushfiqur Rahim in the squad this season for the Sixers. But they’ve got Mohammad Mithun and Zakir Hasan as wicket-keeper batters. Hasan had a great season last year scoring consistently in the middle order.
And while Najmul Hossain Shanto continues to be part of the side, he is ed by Yasir Ali and Harry Tector. Both these batters will be crucial in the middle-order.
Tector has shown great promise on the international stage delivering some significant knocks for Ireland consistently. Sixers had a great number of all-rounders last season which they’ve reduced significantly this year.
Ryan Burl is the only one retained from that list of all-rounders. But they’ve signed some big names this year like Ben Cutting and Samit Patel who are among the most impactful players in T20 leagues around the world.
Both can play the finisher’s role and also deliver timely breakthroughs with the ball. The leg-break bowling all-rounder from Sri Lanka, Dushan Hemantha is another key all-rounder in this squad to watch out for.
Though the Sixers have released three key pacers, they’ve brought in some exciting players like George Scrimshaw and Richard Ngrava. Mashrafe Mortaza and Rejaur Rahman Raja will be the key bowlers in the Sixers camp.
Sylhet Strikers Predicted Playing XI:
Najmul Hossain Shanto, Ariful Haque, Harry Tector, Mohammad Mithun (wk), Zakir Hasan, Ben Cutting, Samit Patel, Dushan Hemantha, Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Rejaur Rahman Raja, Richard Ngrava
Sylhet Strikers Actual Playing XI:
Mohammad Mithun, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Harry Tector, Zakir Hasan, Yasir Ali, Ben Cutting, Mashrafe Mortaza, Nazmul Islam, Richard Ngarava, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Benny Howell
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It is a balanced wicket that offers help to the pacers with the new ball and later the spinners come into play as the match progresses. Batters have also found great help from the surface on this ground. And we expect an even contest between bat and ball in this match. The weather will be clear with a high of 22 degrees Celsius in Dhaka on the match day.

Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka will be the venue for the Chattogram vs Sylhet, 2nd match of the Bangladesh Premier League. The average 1st innings score on this ground is 150 runs but a match-winning total should be something over 185-190 runs. Sylhet Sixers had successfully chased down 196 runs on this ground last year.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams bowling first have had an upper hand in more than 200 domestic T20s played at this venue. Both sides feature a strong and deep batting lineup and will back themselves to chase down a total.
CGC vs SYS
Winning Prediction
There have been many changes to the squad on both sides but the Challengers have made a lot more than the other side. Except for a few all-rounders, Chattogram is a completely new side. We think Sylhet Sixers have managed to strike a better balance in their squad and can field a great XI on the match day. They will have the upper hand coming into this match and are the favorites in our match prediction.
