Comilla Victorians vs Khulna Tigers Betting Odds
CV to score more than 44 in powerplay @ 1.85 (Melbet)
In general, one common theme stands out as a factor in the winning formula of the Comilla Victorians: their consistency in the opening overs.

Comilla Victorians vs Khulna Tigers Best Batters
Litton Das to be CV’s best batter (Melbet)
On his day, there are few in world cricket who can match the flair and poise of Litton Das at the crease, and the seeming ease with which he goes about his business. Even with some top international stars in his line-up, the 28-year-old skipper has been the one producing the goods consistently in recent times for the Comilla Victorians: 180 runs in his last five matches at an average of 36.
Tamim Iqbal to be KT’s best batter (Melbet)
A mainstay at the top of the order for Bangladesh for more than a decade, Tamim Iqbal is among the most experienced batters in the tournament. Regarded among the hardest hitters of the cricket ball in the country, the southpaw has come through for his struggling team at this year’s tournament. In his last five games for the Khulna Tigers, the 33-year-old has scored 157 runs at an average of 39.25.
Comilla Victorians vs Khulna Tigers Best Bowlers
Naseem Shah to be CV’s best bowler (Melbet)
The boys from Pakistan seem to have lit up the 2023 edition of the Bangladesh Premier League. For the Comilla Victorians—whose bowling line-up has struggled for wickets—it has been Naseem Shah who has come up trumps. The 19-year-old pacer has picked up six wickets in his last five games, conceding less than seven per over in the meantime.
Wahab Riaz to be KT’s best bowler (Melbet)
As with the Comilla Victorians, the Khulna Tigers also have a Pakistani pacer to thank for their bowling exploits at this year’s tournament so far. This one is a veteran though. Wahab Riaz has brought in all his 391 T20 wickets worth of experience into the mix precisely for such a time as this. The 37-year-old veteran is the leading wicket-taker in the tournament with 13 wickets from seven games at an average of 14.07.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Comilla Victorians
We think this is a straightforward prediction, given the result in the reverse fixture—a fifth straight—and the recent form of the two sides. So, we are calling the game for the Comilla Victorians too. So far, two other teams, Sylhet Strikers and Fortune Barishal, have won five on the trot. But neither have notched up a sixth win back-to-back. Perhaps the Victorians can change that stat—that, too, against the struggling Khulna Tigers. Hence, based on our analysis of the squads, Comilla Victorians should walk with the points. Comilla Victorians to win @ 1.62 (Melbet) Khulna Tigers to win @ 2.25 (Melbet)
