Match Details:
The Qualifier 2 of the Bangabandhu T20 2020 will be played between Beximco Dhaka and Gazi Group Chattogram at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka.
The match is scheduled to start at 04:30 PM Local Time (04:00 PM IST).
Preview:
Gazi Group Chattogram were the standout team in the league stage of the Bangabandhu T20 Cup as they finished atop the points table. But in the first Qualifier, the team, captained by Mohammad Mithun, went down to the Gemcon Khulna, losing by 47 runs.
Mahmudullah’s Khulna registered a mammoth score 210 after which Chattogram were bowled out for 163 two balls short of 20 overs. Despite the loss, Chattogram will have another bite at the cherry against Beximco Dhaka in Qualifier 2 on Tuesday.
In the league stage, Dhaka were the only team, who were able to beat Chattogram, though only one out of two times. Moreover, the fact that Mushfiqur Rahim and Co beat Fortune Barishal by nine runs in the Eliminator would also keep in a positive frame of mind.
