What are the fantasy suggested teams for CCH vs SYL, Bangladesh Premier League 2023, Match 1?

Pre-Match Analysis:
Chattogram Challengers missed out on the opportunity from qualifying for the Finals last year as they were outplayed by Comilla Victorians by 7 wickets in the 2nd Qualifier. They have made plenty of changes to their squad by roping in overseas players Max O’Dowd, Unmukt Chand, Curtis Campher, Ashan Priyanjan, Shanawaz Dahani, and Vijayakanth Viyaskanth. All-rounder Shuvagata Hom has been given the responsibility to lead the side this season. Afif Hossain, Mrittunjoy Chowdhury, and Taijul Islam are the Bangladesh players to watch out for them. Will they end their title drought this year we need to wait and watch?
Sylhet Strikers had a horrifying tournament last year where they finished at the bottom of the standings with a solitary win. Colin Ackermann, Ryan Burl, Kamindu Mendis, Gulbadin Naib, Mohammad Haris, Mohammad Amir, Tom Moores, and Thisara Perera are the new overseas signings for them this edition. Veteran cricketer Mashrafe Mortaza will take charge of the side. The squad looks extremely balanced with the right blend of experienced and talented cricketers and looks to turn the table this time.
