Preview:
Third placed Comilla Victorians will square off with Chattogram Challengers on February 4 (Saturday), at Shere Bangla National Stadium. With six wins in nine matches, Victorians are well placed among top-three teams while Chattogram Challengers are almost out of the competition by losing seven out of nine games. Let's look at the prediction and understand which team has a better chance to win the next game.
Pitch Report:
The surface at Shere Bangla National Stadium has been a spin friendly wicket and we have seen spinners dominating the season. With 141 being the average 1st inning total at this venue, captain must look to chase the total. Team batting second have won 30 out of 59 T20Is at this venue.
Team Analysis:
Brilliant century from Johnson Charles (107) and blistering 73 off just 39 deliveries by Md. Rizwan helped Comilla Victorians to chase down 210 in just 18.2 overs. That spectacular run-chase must have had given a lot of confidence to the team. Although, Litton Das was not among the run-getters in the previous match, he has been impressive this season. Victorians will have to put an end to their nature of leaking too many runs.
Meanwhile, Challengers lost the track way back in the competition and now should look to spoil other's party. They are coming into this game after suffering a 7-wicket loss against Sylhet Strikers.
Probable Playing XI:
Chattogram Challengers:
Max ODowd, Mehedi Maruf, Usman Khan, Afif Hossain, Curtis Campher, Shuvagata Hom (c), Irfan Sukkur (wk), Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, Mrittunjoy Chowdhury, Nihaduzzaman, Mehedi Hasan Rana
Comilla Victorians:
Litton Das, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Johnson Charles, Khushdil Shah, Imrul Kayes (c), Mosaddek Hossain, Jaker Ali, Tanvir Islam, Naseem Shah, Mustafizur Rahman, Ashiqur Zaman
Match prediction:
Conclusion:
Comilla Victorians have been more consistent and balanced side as compared to Chattogram Challengers. The Challengers are battered with back-to-back defeats and are expected to add one more to their name, when they will be up against in-form Comilla Victorians.
