COV vs FBA T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BPL 2024
Comilla Victorians and Fortune Barishal meet in Match 41 of the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League on Friday afternoon at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. The Victorians have already secured their place in the knockout stage but Barishal could still do with one more victory to confirm theirs. Read on as we preview this penultimate fixture of the group stage. The match begins on Friday 23rd February at 13:30 local time.
Comilla Victorians secured their place in the top four and in the knockout stage with a 6 wicket win with 14 balls remaining against Rangpur Riders in Match 40 in Chattogram. They should have enough quality with bat and ball to end the group stage with a victory.
Fortune Barishal were in excellent form before their 1 wicket defeat against Rangpur Riders in Match 38. They may well look back and see that loss as the moment when they were knocked out of the tournament as this is likely to be a very tough clash.
