Fortune Barishal Team Form

Not too long ago, Fortune Barishal were the team to beat in the current edition of the Bangladesh Premier League with five consecutive wins to their name. But fortunes have changed—and that, quite drastically. In their last five games, Barishal have lost twice and won the remaining three.

Comilla Victorians vs Fortune Barishal Head to Head

Now, it is true that Fortune Barishal hold a slight sway in their head-to-head numbers against the Comilla Victorians. The record stands three games to two in their favour in the recent past. But to do the double over the side that clinched the title against them by one run last year would be a fitting payback.

Comilla Victorians vs Fortune Barishal Betting Odds

FB to score more than 40 in powerplay @ 1.8 (Melbet)

Through thick and thin, one component of the Fortune Barishal squad that has remained consistent is their showing with the bat. Even when they have lost wickets in a heap, Barishal have posted in excess of 40 in the powerplay overs in each of their last five games at least. Given those numbers, this is a sure-shot bet to take advantage of.

Comilla Victorians vs Fortune Barishal Best Batters

Mohammad Rizwan to be CV’s best batter (Melbet)

Not only has he been a breath of fresh air in the Comilla Victorians’ camp, Mohammed Rizwan has been on fire with the bat… to nobody’s surprise. The only batter to score 2000 runs in a calendar year in T20s, Rizwan has carried his consistency through to the 2023 edition of the Bangladesh Premier League as well. In his last eight games, the Pakistani batter has amassed 316 runs at an average of 63.20. Well, at this point, it is your loss if you do not bet on his excellence.

Iftikhar Ahmed to be FB’s best batter (Melbet)

When two players in the same team rank among the top five run-getters in a tournament, it should come to no one’s surprise that the team itself does well. Shakib Al Hasan and Iftikhar Ahmed have been that star pairing for Fortune Barishal this year. They have both scored 347 runs each, but the man from Pakistan has outperformed the Bangladeshi in the last five games with 147 runs at an average of 49. Betting on him should be a no-brainer for you.

Comilla Victorians vs Fortune Barishal Best Bowlers

Tanvir Islam to be CV’s best bowler (Melbet)

Slow left-arm spinners have had a good time at the 2023 edition of the Bangladesh Premier League—even under the lights. The same is true for Tanvir Islam. Together with Khushdil Shah and Naseem Shah, the 26-year-old has led the line for the Comilla Victorians, with 11 wickets in his last eight outings. Those numbers alone should inspire you enough to take the bet head on, even under the lights.

Mohammad Wasim to be FB’s best bowler (Melbet)

It would not be a stretch to bet on Shakib Al Hasan in this category as well. However, as good as he has been in containing the opposition, what Fortune Barishal have needed more urgently is a reliable wicket-taker in their ranks. And that is precisely what Mohammad Wasim has done. In his last five outings for Barishal, the 21-year-old all-rounder from Pakistan has picked up eight wickets at an average in the mid 20s.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Fortune Barishal

Much like Melbet’s prediction, we think this will be a tight game to call too. With their playoff spots sealed, this encounter between Comilla Victorians and Fortune Barishal is a free-hit for both teams to try and finish in the top two. Barishal seems stronger on paper with the likes of Shakib Al Hasan in their lineup, but they have been inconsistent in their last five games. The Victorians, on the other hand, have been on a roll in recent games. Hence, our analysis of the squads points to a win for the Comilla Victorians.
