This will be the match to watch. CK will be playing against my 2nd fav KRB. The two best mates will clash. Hoping to see a CK win with ShakMan shining bright from the KRB side.

Easy win for krb on the card

simon · #4 February 11, 2012, 11:26 AM

Khulna all Za way
although would love to see Ryad & Tamim scoring

TripleR · #5 February 11, 2012, 11:28 AM

As I don't expect KRB to drop the catches it must be a walk in the park for 'em....Go Shak..

Rifat H · #6 February 11, 2012, 01:37 PM

Dhurr ! Akhono akta match o jome nai. Hopefully it will be a close one

BD_2015 · #7 February 11, 2012, 02:18 PM

KRB ,CK and Barisal so far best team.Let's see who win tomorrow and I think it will be KRB.

Why do you guys think it will be an easy win for Khulna??? To me it will be a tougher match for them than the last one !!! With in form batsman like Bravo, Riyad, Roy, Nasir Jamshed CTG's batting line up looks pretty strong !!! On top of that if Tamim clicks 200+ is on the card and bowling dept is already a strong one for them. I think Khulna's spin bowling is weak because of Razzak so the only specialist spinner is Shakib

. He could've picked at least one more spinner in place of Shafi or Shahadat both !! When you have some intl quality fast bowler why do you need Shafi and Shahadat both !!! Today Shakib should pick Jayasuriya instead of Chanderpaul as Jayasuriya gives a spin bowling option for the team. Anyways for me- no expectation, let's see if Shakib and Co can pull it off !!!

You forget the the Kings were massively helped by Rajshahi's shocking catching and poor bowling. I think Gibbs may need to be rested if he doesn't perform in this match. His fielding has certainly deteriorated.

#ChittagongKings might break their winning combination since their foreign recruits Jerome Taylor and Kevin Cooper arrived in Dhaka.

Yeah you are right but still that doesn't take away the fact that CK is very strong in both batting and bowling dept. It will never be an easy win for Khulna. They will have to give more than 100% both individually and as a team to seal a victory here!!!

and yes if Gibbs fails today then he should be rested.. Niall O'Brian can come in his place !!

FagunerAgun · #12 February 11, 2012, 08:25 PM

I hope this game will be more competitive and exciting than that of between DG and Khulna.

Sovik · #13 February 11, 2012, 09:33 PM

Hope Russel will be promoted up the order

Tiger444 · #14 February 11, 2012, 09:50 PM

In T20s, you just never know what will happen. It just takes 1 superb innings or bowling performance to win a game. I would say the match is evenly matched. Both teams are pretty good so it'll be interesting to watch this game.

I hope Shakib replicates his batting performance but hopefully with a couple more boundaries.

i_1_primeval_man · #16 February 11, 2012, 10:13 PM

I didn't like Nasir jamshed's batting the other day. I wish CK bought Shehzad instead of him.

Mate ru serioous? Herschelle Gibbs averaged 50 in the Big Bash League which is tremendous! He is a great asset to the team. I agree with Oronnya. Jayasuryia should replace Chanderpaul.

Instead of buying Chanderpaul, Khulna should have bought an international pacer.

Cant wait for Shakib vs Tamim!

The conditions in Bangladesh are nothing like the conditions in Australia. Gibbs is clearly good against pace attacks - remember his counter-attacking 170+ in that ODI against Australia? On slow, low tracks against decent spinners is a whole new test. Plus, my main gripe is about his fielding. Sad to see a legend's standards drop. Hope he picks up his game.

Doesn't KRB have Fidel Edwards? He can be quite quick.

On the contrary I think neither Chander nor Jaya should get a chance in the 11. Niall O'Brien should play as it will boost the wicket keeping position and he is a pretty good batsman as well.

Go kings. Go tamim.

Rabz · #21 February 12, 2012, 12:39 AM

Khulna !!
KRB ! KRB !! KRB !!!

Zeeshan · #22 February 12, 2012, 01:53 AM

Broadcast kokhon start hoy.

Rabz · #23 February 12, 2012, 02:03 AM

^^ Around 1.30 local, I think.

BANFAN · #24 February 12, 2012, 02:35 AM

This one is supposed to be a close match. But I may be over rating CKs on their performance against DRs.... If the fielding wasn't like that, anything could have happened that day.... So... CKs weren't tested that much...

So, I would keep KRBs ahead of CKs....

i_1_primeval_man · #25 February 12, 2012, 02:35 AM

Tamim not playing due to groin injury. What a shame.
