The Big Picture
After two convincing wins, the Dhaka Warriors start favourites against the struggling Ahmedabad Rockets. With their batting clicking as a unit, Dhaka's main cause for concern will be the abysmal performances of the fast bowlers. Mohammad Sharif, Tapash Baisya and Farhad Reza have neither been threatening nor have they managed to keep the runs in check.Where they rank
Ahmedabad are in seventh place and their chances of making the semi-finals are virtually non-existent. They have to win both their remaining games and need several other match results to go in their favour for them to grab a final-four spot.Form guide (most recent first)
