Live Cricket Score, Khulna Titans vs Barisal Bulls, BPL 2016, Match 26 at Mirpur: KT win

Hello and welcome to CricketCountry’s live cricket blog and updates’ post of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2016 match between Barisal Bulls and Khulna Titan. This will be the 26th match in the ongoing T20 league, and will be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka.  It will be a no-brainer in saying that Khulna Titans will be the red-hot favourites for a victory in this match against the Barisal Bulls, since they have been the most dominating team in the ongoing BPL 2016 tournament so far. With more than half of the tournament being played, the Khulna Titans are emerging as a stronger team with every match.

Khulna Titans are currently at No. 2 position of the league and have managed to win 5 matches out the 7 that they have played so far while their today’s opponents are placed third from bottom and have been very inconsistent in their form this season. If Khulna Titans win today’s match they will be going atop the standings table which will be definite confidence booster for them.

The main reason for Khulna Titans to be in the top spots this season is due to the fact that their skipper Mahmudullah has contributed with his bat and bowl as well. He has thrived hard for his team whenever needed and also, his players have made sure that they carried on with the task they were entrusted with.

The Barisal Bulls have shown glimpses of good cricket, but have been on the inconsistent side. This has lead to their downfall from the top four positions and now with the group stage matches coming to its end, the Bulls are still trying to find the correct balance for the team. Mushfiqur Rahim hasn’t been in his top form and that has been the concern for his team. With the captain struggling to find the correct form, the team has also struggled as none of their players have displayed consistent performance.
