Fortune Barishal vs Chittagong Kings Predictions

Fortune Barishal have had a great season in defence of their maiden title. They won nine of their 12 matches, including six in a row ahead of a nine-wicket loss in their last match of the group stage to the Kings.

Fortune Barishal’s Dawid Malan has scored 63, 37*, 67 & 34* in his last 4 innings.
Fortune Barishal’s Tamil Iqbal has scored 52*, 27, 21* & 29 in his last 5 innings.
Chittagong Kings’ Khawaja Nafay hit three sixes in his 57 off 46 balls against Khulna Tigers in Qualifier 2.
Chittagong Kings’ Hussain Talat scored 40 off 25 balls in the win over the Tigers.

Head-to-Head

Barishal have won two of the last three matches against the Kings, including the last match, which was Qualifier 1.

Fortune Barishal Form

Barishal bounced back from their 24-run loss to the Kings in their final group match, by beating them by nine wickets in Qualifier 1.

Mohammad Ali returned the astonishing figures of 5/24 (econ 6.0) as the Kings were reduced to 149/9 off their 20 overs.

Tamim Iqbal (29), Towhid Hridoy (82* off 56 balls) and Dawid Malan (34 off 22) guided Barishal to a place in the final with a nine-wicket win with 16 balls to spare.

Fortune Barishal Team News

Fortune Barishal are in great form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team for the final.

Chittagong Kings Form

The Kings made it four wins from their last five matches when they beat Barishal in the final group match of the season. They then lost to Barishal in Qualifier 1, before clinching their spot in the final with a two-wicket win off the last ball of their Qualifier 2 clash against the Khulna Tigers.

Binura Fernando (2/27) was the pick of the Kings bowlers as they reduced the Tigers to 42/4 in the ninth over. They ended their 20 overs on 163/6.

After losing two early wickets, the Kings got their chase back on track through Khawaja Nafay (57 off 46) and Hussain Talat (40 off 25). After a mini-collapse, the tail held its nerve to secure a thrilling, last-ball victory.

Chittagong Kings Team News

There are no injury reports from the Chittagong Kings squad. They are in good form and have a great chance of upsetting Barishal if they can take some early wickets.

Verdict

Fortune Barishal v Chittagong Kings

I am backing Fortune Barishal to win. I am also backing Dawid Malan to top score for Fortune Barishal.

Khawaja Nafay is a good bet to top score for the Chittagong Kings.
