Fortune Barishal vs Durbar Rajshahi Chances of Winning
Fortune Barishal’s title-winning campaign last season puts them at an advantage coming into the present series. They did not make the best start to the season considering they took victory in their first game but suffered a three-match losing streak thereafter. They did, however, bounce back rather quickly and manage to advance beyond the group stage. Their consistency towards the end was quite the contrast to their form earlier in the season and their comeback was truly praiseworthy, having won four out of the last five matches in the group stage. After winning the eliminator against Chattogram Challengers, they beat Rangpur Riders to secure a spot in the final.
Fortune Barishal were up against Comilla Victorians in the final and they put the latter in to bat first. This worked out perfectly since they were able to restrict Comilla Victorians to 154, which was not a very formidable score. The latter had their work cut out for them but their bowling effort fell short against Fortune Barishal’s batting prowess; openers Tamim Iqbal and Mehidy Hasan Miraz added 76 runs to the first wicket, having scored 39 and 29 runs, respectively. Kyle Mayers top-scored with 46 runs and it was a breeze there on out. By the 19th over, Fortune Barishal took a six-wicket victory.
On the other hand, Durbar Rajshahi are a new franchise in the Bangladesh Premier League and their squad does not look entirely promising. Their true form remains to be seen but they are on the backfoot going into this match.
