Chattogram Challengers vs Comilla Victorians Team Previews
Chattogram Challengers (Match Odds – 2.40)
Naeem Islam’s team’s campaign has been derailed by back-to-back defeats. The batsmen put on a poor performance in the previous game, failing to chase down a small total, falling by 14 runs to Fortune Barishal. They have slipped down the points table and need to win this game to turn things around.
Will Jacks has performed admirably, and he will need to establish a solid opening wicket stand with Afif Hossain. Chadwick Walton’s arrival has strengthened the middle order, and he will need to form alliances with Islam and Shamim Hossain. For the team to win this game, Benny Howell, Mehidy Hasan, and Akbar Ali must deliver big hits near the end.
Their bowlers performed admirably in the previous game, and a similar performance is expected here. Shoriful Islam and Hasan must strike quickly because the Victorians are strong at the top. Mrittunjoy Chowdhury has done well in the last two games and the side would like to see him do well in the middle overs with Howell, Jacks, and Afif Hossain.

Comilla Victorians (Match Odds – 1.57)
After three consecutive victories, Imrul Kayes’ team suffered its first loss of the season in the final game. Their batting lineup faltered against Minister Group Dhaka, and the team was defeated by 50 runs. They had a big win against the Chattogram Challengers in their previous game and would like to draw inspiration from that victory.
Their batsmen failed to score in the previous game, which was a rare occurrence. They would like to see Liton Das and Mahmudul Hasan Joy, who have made runs in the tournament, get off to a good start in this game. Faf du Plessis, Cameron Delport, and Kayes are experienced players in the middle order. Ariful Haque, Nahidul Islam, and Karim Janat are all good batsmen who add depth to the team.
Nahidul Islam and Mustafizur Rahman are in good form with the new ball, and the team expects them to strike early in this game. Shohidul Islam has been costly in most games, and the team would benefit from tighter spells from him and Karim Janat in this game. They have good bowling options with Tanvir Islam, Haque, and Delport on the team.
