Chittagong Vikings and Khulna Titans are ready to face off in the match 22 of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) in Sylhet on Saturday. The game will be an important one for the Titans who just managed to win just one match in six outings. Last of those defeats came against Comilla Victorians on Friday, courtesy brilliant 73 from Tamim Iqbal which helped Imrul Kayes-led unit in registering an impressive three-wicket win. In the previous meeting between both teams earlier in the tournament, it was the Vikings who came out on top in the super over, which shows there is not much to choose between both teams for the match on Saturday.
In the batting department, Titans will be depending on the likes of captain Mahmudullah, Junaid Siddique and Dawid Malan to score bulk of the runs, whereas in the bowling department, the onus will be on the likes of in-form Junaid Khan and Lasith Malinga to provide timely breakthroughs.
On the other hand, Vikings will be coming into this match fresh after having a five-day break. In their previous match, Vikings registered an impressive four-wicket win against Victorians. In the batting department, the home side will be relying on the likes of captain Mushfiqur Rahim, Mohammad Shahzad and Cameron Delport to score bulk of the runs, whereas in the bowling department, the onus will be on the likes of Robbie Frylinck and Abu Jayed to provide timely breakthroughs.
Key Players:
Mushfiqur Rahim – 10 Cr
First in the list

Key Players:
Mushfiqur Rahim – 10 Cr
First in the list of key players features Chittagong Vikings' captain Mushfiqur Rahim. The 31-year-old is in great form with the bat in the competition and is the franchise's leading run-scorer with 139 runs. In the team's previous match, Rahim scored a match-winning 75 and guided his team home. Those numbers suggest that Rahim, who is valued at 10 Cr, is the player to have in your team. The Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batsman has played 160 T20s in his career, where he has scored 3,079 runs at an average of 26.09, which included 17 fifties.
Robbie Frylinck – 9 Cr
Second in the list of key players features Chittagong Vikings' Robbie Frylinck. The 34-year-old is having an outstanding tournament overall where he has scored 88 runs at an average of 44, whereas he also has nine wickets to his name in just four outings. Those numbers suggests that Frylinck, who is valued at 9 Cr, is an ideal player to have in your team. The Durban-born right-arm pacer has played 111 T20s in his career, where he has 113 wickets to his name.
Lasith Malinga – 9 Cr
Last in the list of key players features Khulna Titans' Lasith Malinga. The veteran pacer has recently joined the franchise and has only played one match in the competition, where he had figures of one for 22 but it was not enough for the team on the night. However, Malinga, who is valued at 9 Cr, has experience of playing 265 T20s in his career, where he has 356 wickets to his name, and those numbers suggest that having him in the team can prove to be an excellent decision.
