Bangladesh Premier League 2023, Match 9, Chattogram Challengers vs Fortune Barishal: Probable XIs, Pitch Report and Live Streaming Details

The Chattogram Challengers and Fortune Barishal will lock horns in Match No. 9 of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2023 on Friday, January 13. The Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram will host the contest.

The Challengers, captained by Shuvagata Hom, didn’t make the greatest of starts to the tournament after facing an eight-wicket defeat to table-toppers Sylhet Strikers. However, they made a stupendous comeback by beating the Khulna Tigers by nine wickets on January 9.

The Challengers were initially blown away after Azam Khan registered his maiden T20 hundred to help his team score 178 for five. However, Usman Khan scored an unbeaten 58-ball 103 and guided the Challengers to victory with four balls to spare.

Barishal, captained by Shakib Al Hasan, started with a six-wicket loss to the Strikers after Shakib Al Hasan’s valiant 32-ball knock of 67 went in vain. However, they made a comeback by beating the Rangpur Riders by six wickets in their next game on January 10.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz bagged the Player of the Match award for finishing with figures of 4-0-21-2 and scoring 43 runs off 29 balls with five fours. Barishal chased the target down in 19.2 overs. Ibrahim Zadran also scored a half-century on his debut in the BPL.
