The Chattogram Challengers (CCH) will face the Sylhet Strikers (SYL) in the first game of the Bangladesh Premier League 2023 on Friday (January 6) at Dhaka’s Shere Bangla National Stadium. Last season, the Challengers finished in third place. They defeated the Khulna Tigers in the eliminator game but were defeated by the Comilla Victorians in the second qualifier.

Sylhet Strikers won just one game out of ten in the previous season, finishing last in the points standings. As a result, the roster has been rebuilt, and former Bangladeshi captain Mashrafe Mortaza has been tapped to head the team this year.
