Get ready for an exhilarating showdown as Durdanto Dhaka (DD) takes on Fortune Barishal (FBA) in Match 31 of the Bangladesh Premier League 2024 at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. Durdanto Dhaka finds themselves in a challenging position, having won only one out of the nine matches played so far in the tournament. On the other hand, Fortune Barishal has displayed a more consistent performance, securing victories in four out of their eight matches. In their previous encounter, Fortune Barishal emerged victorious by a margin of 40 runs.

Opting to bat first after winning the toss, Fortune Barishal faced early setbacks, losing key wickets including Ahmed Shehzad, Tamim Iqbal, and Mushfiqur Rahim. However, a stellar partnership between Soumya Sarkar and Mahmudullah, worth 139 runs, steered their innings back on track. Sarkar contributed 75 runs, while Mahmudullah notched up 73 runs before being dismissed. Shoaib Malik’s cameo added vital runs as Fortune Barishal posted a challenging total of 189 runs for the loss of four wickets in 20 overs.

In response, Durdanto Dhaka’s batting faltered as they lost early wickets, with opener Sabbir Hossain departing cheaply. Despite efforts from Mohammad Naim, Saif Hassan, and Alex Ross, the team struggled to build substantial partnerships. Alex Ross top-scored with a brisk 52 off 30 balls, but the lack of support from the lower order led to their downfall. Ultimately, Durdanto Dhaka could only muster 149 runs in their 20 overs, falling short of the target set by Fortune Barishal.
