Pitch Report
The Dhaka pitch tends to be a challenging one for the batters. The ball stops before reaching the batter and the track further deteriorates as the game progresses. So, bowlers will have an upper hand in the game but batters will be expected to make the first six overs count.
Team Analysis
Comilla Victorians
Defending champions, Comilla Victorians have got some really good players in the squad. While they have the likes of Litton Das, Brandon King, Khushdil Shah, Imrul Kayes, and Mohammad Rizwan in the batting department, Hasan Ali, Sean Williams, Mustafizur Rahman, and Chadwick Walton are there in the bowling department. But unfortunately, the Victorians will not have a few players available with them throughout the season with many of them committed to other T20 leagues. Also, players like Mohammad Rizwan and Hasan Ali won’t be available initially and also during the knockout stages due to other commitments.
