Tigers face Cubs today


Leading BCB Cup points table with two wins in two matches, the national side led by wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim will face GP-BCB Academy for the second time at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium today.

Defeating A-team by 36 runs in their last clash, four top order batsmen scored half centuries. The national side is expected to be pumped up and bag an easy win against a much younger side.

Mushfiqur, the top contender for the captain’s armband of the national side will not be in a mood to keep things easy on the field for his boys while at the same time few of the Tigers who are trying to earn place in the national squad will also be on their toes.

However, opening batsman Tamim Iqbal might miss today’s match for his trouble with a neck and shoulder sprain, allowing Imrul Kayes to partner with Shahriar Nafees as the openers.Meanwhile, with nothing to lose, the young Academy side that holds the last position with a tie against the ‘A’ team will play the match to bag some experience and if fate favours. The 50 over match is scheduled to begin at 9.30am on the centre wicket at SBNCS
