Khulna lost their first game by eight runs against Rangpur, and will look to get their first points on the board with a win against a strong Dhaka outfit. Dhaka are a very strong team, not just on paper, but also on the field,” Mahmudullah explained. I’ve enjoyed playing under his captaincy so far and he keeps players around him busy, which is really important for T20 cricketers. We have Gayle and he has experience of playing here in these conditions for many years, which is our biggest plus point. Smith is playing his first BPL and Australia don’t often tour here either so the advantage has to be with ‘Big Boss’ Gayle,” expressed Maruf.
