They overcame Apex XI by seven wickets, chasing 135 runs in 16 overs. Vikrant Gupta smashed 75 runs off 42 balls to guide them home. Atif Mazhar bagged a four-wicket haul for conceding just 23 runs.

However, they fell short in the title clash against Artech CC, posting 127/9 before their opponents chased down the target in just 12.5 overs, winning by nine wickets.

Khalid Butt scored an explosive 55 off 24 balls against Lexus in the Summer League, while Hasan Arif contributed 43 off 25 balls in the same match. Muhammad Kashif also demonstrated his ability to accelerate, smashing 34 off just 14 deliveries.

Idrees scored 327 runs at a strike rate of 210.97, while Shareef accumulated 210 runs at 185.84 and Abdullah scored 185 runs at 210.23.

Khulna Royal Bengals Preview

Khulna Royal Bengals will be eager to bounce back after losing their opening match of the KCC Falcons Champions Trophy T20 2026/27. They were bowled out for 116 runs and Almulla Exchange chased down the total in 13.1 overs with losing three wickets. Sabbir Hussain added 22 runs and Faysal Hossain contributed 23. Peous Hossain was the only solid performer with the bowl, picking up two wickets for 16 runs. 

Khulna Royal Bengals previously enjoyed success in the KCC T10 Ramadan League 2026, winning the tournament to establish themselves as a competitive side in Kuwait’s domestic cricket circuit.

Against MEC Cricket Club, for example, they scored 106/4 while chasing 127, with Mohammad Mofizul Islam top-scoring with an unbeaten 37 off 23 balls. 

Mohammad Mofizul Islam, Mohammad Shahinul and Md Zahid Hossain are players to monitor in the batting department.

Touhid Hasan was their leading run-scorer in the competition, accumulating 205 runs in seven matches, while Peous Hossain contributed 128 runs in seven matches and Mohan Hossain Bahar scored 100 runs in six matches.

TRANG vs KRB Pitch Report

The surface at Sulaibiya Cricket Ground is generally batting-friendly, with batters expected to enjoy favourable conditions once they settle at the crease. However, the new ball could offer some assistance to bowlers, making the opening overs crucial for both sides. Batters will need to negotiate the initial spell carefully before looking to accelerate.

The average first-innings score across the last five T20 matches at the venue is 127, suggesting that bowlers have enjoyed some success and that high totals may not come easily. The highest successful run chase at this ground stands at 155, indicating that chasing a competitive target could be challenging. Teams winning the toss may therefore consider batting first and putting scoreboard pressure on their opponents.

Score prediction: 

If Tally Rangers bat first - 150-160 runs 

If Khulna bat first - 130-140 runs 

Toss: To Bowl

In the last five T20 matches at Sulaibiya Cricket Ground, teams batting second have won twice, while first-innings totals have exceeded 200 on two occasions during the KCC Falcons Champions Trophy, highlighting the venue’s potential for high-scoring encounters. 

GAT hold the record for the highest successful run chase at the ground, having chased down a target of 155. Both teams have previously enjoyed success while bowling first, so the captain winning the toss may prefer to field, aiming to restrict the opposition to a manageable total before chasing it down.

Toss Prediction: Khulna to win the coin toss.
