Player Recommendations:
Wicket-keeper: Mohammad Shahzad (10 credits)
The Afghan international who is known for his aggressiveness and adventurous stroke-play, which he showed in his last game where he just fell short of one run from his half century but fired 49 runs in just 22 balls, stroked at the rate of 222.73. He is one the most dangerous batsman in power-play to bowl. When Shahzad last played against Comilla he smashed 46 runs in just 27 balls and scored at the strike-rate of 170.37. By looking at his form he will be the best pick for this game.
Batsman: Mushfiqur Rahim (10 credits)
Captain Mushfiqur Rahim who is leading from the front with his splendid performance so far in this tournament where he is the second leading run-scorer of the tournament with 321 runs into his account scoring at an average of 40.12 at 135.44 strike-rate. Though his performance slightly dipped in last two matches but when he played against Comilla before in this tournament he scored 75 runs in 45 balls with the strike-rate of 182.93. With this kind of performance he cannot be ignored.
All-rounder: Thisara Perera (9.5 credits)
Thisara Perera an attacking all-rounder batsman who scored 26 runs in 12 balls and picked three wickets against Dhaka and won player of the match award. Last time when he played against Chittagong he smashed 76 runs in just 26 balls fired at the strike-rate of 284.62. With the lack of bowling standard from Chittagong he can fire up the same inning again against the same opponent Chittagong.
Bowler: Mohammad Saifuddin (8.5 credits)
Chittagong Vikings bowlers are not bowling to their standard in past few matches were they have leaked huge runs so, we are picking Mohammad Saifuddin of Comilla whose has economy is slightly above 7 in nine matches and has 10 wickets to his name in this season so far. The 22 year-old right arm medium fast bowler whose accuracy and slower deliveries will be help for his team to pick breakthrough at regular interval. He will be a good pick.
