Shere Bangla National Stadium

The 8th match of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2024 will witness Fortune Barishal and Comilla Victorians taking on each other on January 23rd. The two rivals will meet at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Tuesday evening, with the match scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM IST.

Comilla Victorians vs Fortune Barishal Chance Winning

The defending champions Comilla Victorians played the opening game of the BPL 2024 versus Durdanto Dhaka, which they ended up losing by five wickets. Having been sent in to bat first, Comilla top order could not get off to a flying start. They lost Litton Das early before Imrul Kayes and Towhid Hridoy put on a 107-run stand for the second wicket.

Kayes scored 66 while Hridoy made 47 but both played at a strike rate of less than 120, which meant they could only get 143/6 in 20 overs. Defending the target, they conceded a century partnership to Dhaka's opening pair. Tanvir Islam and Mustafizur Rahman later picked two wickets each to push the game late but it wasn't enough.

Fortune Barishal have played two games in the BPL 2024 season, winning and losing one each. In the last game, they suffered an eight-wicket defeat against Khulna Tigers on Monday. They had to bat first and were 14/1 in 3.4 overs. Tamim Iqbal scored 40 off 33 while adding 57 runs for the third wicket with Mushfiqur Rahim.

Rahim went on to smash an unbeaten 68 off 39 with Mahmudullah scoring 27 off 19 to power the team to 187/4. Defending the target, Dunith Wellalage conceded just 17 runs in his four overs but other Barishal bowlers were completely ineffective as Khulna mowed down the total in 18 overs.

Looking at the strengths and recent form, Fortune Barishal will be slight favourites heading into the match. The two teams' chances of winning this game are as follows.

  • Comilla Victorians’ chance of winning: 45%
  • Fortune Barishal's chance of winning: 55%
