Weather and Pitch Conditions

The weather for the final looks promising, with clear skies expected over Dhaka. The pitch at Shere Bangla National Stadium typically favors batting, and we can expect high scores in the region of 180-200 runs in the first innings. Fast bowlers will need to focus on variations, while spinners may find some assistance as the game progresses. Dew in the evening could play a key role, making it more beneficial to bowl first if the toss is won.

Toss Prediction:

The team winning the toss is likely to choose to bowl first, considering the potential impact of dew in the later stages of the match.

While the Chittagong Kings are sure to put up a tough fight, Fortune Barishal’s formidable batting depth and strong bowling attack make them the favorites to secure back-to-back titles. Expect a thrilling contest, but Barishal's excellent form and confidence suggest they will likely retain their crown and emerge as the 2024-25 BPL champions.
