Cumilla Warriors vs Khulna Tigers match prediction
Cumilla Warriors will lock horns with Khulna Tigers in match number 40 of the ongoing edition of the Bangladesh Premier League at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Friday.
With two more games in their kitty, Khulna Tigers can actually claim the second spot in the points table and directly go on to play the Qualifier 1. This scenario is only going to surface if they defeat Cumilla Warriors again on Friday, and also brush aside the threat of Dhaka Platoon in their final game of the league stage on Saturday. On the other hand, Cumilla Warriors were on a three-match winning streak and it came to a halt as they were overwhelmed by 34 runs by the Tigers on Wednesday. Now they have a very very slim chance, in fact almost negligible mathematical chance, to make it to the playoffs. For that to happen, the Warriors will have to win by a huge margin against the Tigers and they also have to pray that the other results go in their favour. Anyway, who cares about who makes it to the playoffs or does not; for now, let’s just care about winning some money when the Warriors and the Tigers take the field on Friday. You must be wondering why this sudden shift in topic from the playoff qualification scenario to betting? That is because I want to help you win some money and I want to win some as well. You get the drift? So, let’s just get on with it, shall we?
Rilee Rossouw has 411 runs in 10 matches in this season
Rilee Rossouw will be the top batsman for Khulna Tigers @ 3.75
Here’s your man from South Africa, who can actually make your bank balance look better than never before! But I must have some solid stats to substantiate that statement, right? Heck yeah I do! He is the second-highest run scorer in the ongoing season of the Bangladesh Premier League with 411 runs in just 10 matches at an astounding average of 58.71 and he has four half-centuries under his belt as well. In the last encounter between the Warriors and the Tigers, Rossouw smashed a 36 ball 71 and he decorated his innings with six fours and four massive sixes. He started the tournament with a bang with three fifties in four matches but thereafter, he kind of lost his touch for a while. But in the last couple of matches, he has been hitting the ball really well, just when it mattered the most. Rossouw was the highest run scorer in the previous season of the Bangladesh Premier League with 558 runs in 14 matches at a sound average of 69.75. It looks like he loves playing in Bangladesh and therefore he has carried that form along with him as well. Bet 365 is offering odds of 3.75 for the attacking left-handed batsman and if you have still not placed your bets, then I don’t know what to say.
Robbie Frylinck picked up 5/16 against the Warriors last match
Robbie Frylinck to be the top team bowler for Khulna Tigers @ 4.50
Looks like it is the South Africans who are going to make you and me a lot of money on Friday! Robbie Frylinck has been extremely efficient with the ball for Khulna Tigers and he has earned Mushfiqur Rahim’s trust quite evidently. He is the highest wicket taker for Khulna Tigers in the ongoing season of the Bangladesh Premier League. He is also the fourth highest wicket taker overall in this season with 15 scalps under his belt in 10 matches. Frylinck has been the top team bowler for Khulna Tigers on four out of 10 occasions in this edition and he could be extremely lethal yet again when the Tigers will square off with the Warriors. He picked up 5/16 on Wednesday and literally ran through the Warriors batting line up. Bet 365 is offering odds of 4.50 for Frylinck to be the top team bowler for the Tigers and there lies our chance to make it big.
The Warriors have smashed 77 sixes this season.
This is probably one of the few markets where the Warriors will actually have the edge over the Tigers, irrespective of the result. Cumilla Warriors have managed to clear the ropes 77 times, while Khulna Tigers could manage only 56 sixes so far in this ongoing edition of the Bangladesh Premier League. In head to head encounters, Cumilla Warriors have hit 40 sixes compared to Khulna Tigers’ 33. At the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, the Warriors have smashed 19 sixes and the Tigers are not very far behind in this particular case, having hit 18 of them. As you can see, all the statistics are working in our favour, therefore we can safely place a bet on this market and earn more than double the investment with Bet 365 offering odds of 2.10.
