Durdanto Began Their Preparation in Sylhet

Durdanto Dhaka have started their practice session at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium Ground 2 on Thursday.

All the participating teams of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2024 reached Sylhet on Wednesday as the second phase of this franchise T20 will begin at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium from Friday. 

Durdanto Dhaka, Chattogram Challengers and Khulna Tigers reached there on Tuesday while Rangpur Riders, Sylhet Strikers and Comilla Victorians arrived there arrived on Wednesday.

Dhaka and Khulna opted for a rest day on Wednesday while Chattogram players went to Sylhet International Cricket Stadium to have a practice session.

Khulna will take on Rangpur and Sylhet will host Comilla on the first day of the Sylhet phase. 

A total of 12 matches will be played at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium during this phase from Friday to 3 February. 

The matches will be held at two different time – at 1:30 pm and 7:30 pm. 

 “Sylhet always provide high-scoring matches. But this year, dew will be a big fact. After five o’clock in the evening, the temperature goes down drastically here. The weather has been very cold here for the last seven to 10 days. The fog increases at night,” an official of Sylhet International Cricket Stadium was quoted in Daily Sun on Thursday.

“When the ball gets old during the second game, I think it will create a problem here. But I can say that runs will come here in Sylhet.

“I think there will be a good contest during the first match of the day.  The wicket is very good. I think we will witness a good number of runs.

“The wicket will surely be a sporting one. In the last NCL, BCL and also during the Test against New Zealand, our players batted really well here,” he added.
