Preview:
After yet another dominating performance yesterday, the Qalandars are all set to take on the Bangla Tigers in the 19th game of the season. Qalandars have been unstoppable in the tournament so far. They are coming off a winning streak of 4 games for now. The top-order is firing in every game, with captain Sohail Akhtar leading from the front. In addition, they have experienced T20 giants like Shahid Afridi, Chris Jordan and Sohail Tanvir who have been playing the key roles with the ball. They are coming into this game as favourites and will be looking to continue their winning streak.
On the other side, the Bangla Tigers have won two games out of four and are sitting at the fourth position in the points table. It has been a one-man army story for the Tigers, with Andre Fletcher being the lone star. However, they have some promising hitters of the ball who can come out as match winners. They will need to improve their game plan with the ball if they were to beat the unstoppable Qalandars.
