Khulna Tigers
Khulna Tigers will lock horns with Sylhet Sunrisers in the 17th match of the Bangladesh Premier League as Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram will host this fixture. Tigers are currently placed at the 5th spot on the points table with two wins in five matches. They faced defeat against Fortune Barishal in their last outing by a close margin of 6 runs.
Batting first, Fortune Barishal was knocked over at 145 runs by the brilliant efforts of Tigers bowlers. Khaled Ahmed bagged three wickets but gave away 41 runs in his four overs. Kamrul Islam and F Reza bagged two scalps. Thisara Perera provided a major breakthrough by taking the wicket of the settled on crease batter Najmul Hossain Shanto.
In the chase, the opening duo failed to provide a good start to Tigers and got out cheaply. Mushfiqur Rahim scored 33 off 22 coming in at no. 4. But it was Yasir Ali who stood up for the Tigers and hammered an unbeaten 57 off 34 but his efforts went in vain as they fell short of 6 runs to seal the win.

Sylhet Sunrisers
On the other hand, Sylhet Sunrisers will be disappointed with the way things have gone against them in the tournament so far. Their team settled for very low totals and they lost their matches by huge margins. They managed just a single win out of the four matches they have played and currently sit at the bottom of the points table with two points.
They faced Chattogram Challengers in their last outing and suffered defeat by 16 runs. Batting first, Chattogram Challengers posted a mammoth target of 202 by the end of 20 overs. The Sunrisers bowlers lacked accuracy and gave away plenty of runs. Taskin Ahmed, Sohag Gazi, Mosaddek Hossain, Ravi Bopara, and Muktar Ali bagged a single scalp each but proved to be expensive at the same time.
In the chase, Anamul Haque mustered 78 off 47 while Colin Ingram hammered a 37 ball half-century. But after the dismissal of these two, there was no batter who could back the team and wickets kept falling at regular intervals. Sylhet Sunrisers managed to reach a total of 186 runs by the end of 20 overs and fell short of 16 runs as the required run rate kept creeping upon them.

KHT vs SYL, 17th Match, Who will win the match, Today Match Prediction
Sylhet Sunrisers are expected to win this match against Khulna Tigers.
Though Sylhet Sunrisers are not favorites to win this match, but their performance has drastically improved in the past few fixtures. They failed to counter the creeping run rate in their last fixture against Challengers but managed to space the gap while falling short of 16 runs.

Islam is currently the leading wicket-taker in the tournament after bagging 10 Wickets in 5 matches.

Nazmul Islam has already done wonders for the Sunrisers as he went on to take a four-wicket haul in his last match.
