COV vs FBA T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BPL 2024
Phase 1 of the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League comes to a close as Comilla Victorians take on Fortune Barishal at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur. After this match the tournament moves to Sylhet for the next phase and Comilla Victorians will be hoping to sign off in Mirpur with their first win of the campaign. Fortune Barishal have won one and lost one so far. This game gets underway at 18:30 local time.
Comilla Victorians got themselves into a strong position in the opening game but ultimately losing five wickets and scoring only 13 runs from their final nine balls cost them the match. They will be need to bat well throughout their 20 overs if they are to come out on top in this clash.
Fortune Barishal looked like they could be leaving Phase 1 of the tournament with three wins to their name at one point on Monday but defeat in this match would mean they leave with just one victory. They will be very familiar with this pitch and they should have enough quality to win.

Comilla Victorians Team News & Playing 11
COV Team News
After their opening game defeat, Comilla Victorians have the opportunity to boost their line-up with the additions of Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed who have arrived from New Zealand. We expect both to go straight into the XI for this match of BPL 2024.
COV Key Players
- Imrul Kayes - The experienced left-hander is likely to drop down a place in the order to make room for Rizwan but he produced an excellent and controlled innings in the opener.
- Towhid Hridoy - The middle order batter hit 47 runs against Durdanto Dhaka but he will be looking to score runs at a quicker pace in this game.
- Tanviir Islam - The left-arm spinner is another slow bowler to have had joy in Mirpur and he dismissed both openers of the opposition in the last match.
- Mustafizur Rahman - The left-arm pace bowler has had an inconsistent couple of years but there are signs that he is getting back to his best and he took 2/31 against Dhaka.
COV Team Form
Comilla Victorians were a little under par with their batting total in Match 1 and that ultimately cost them the game.

Litton Das (c) (wk), Mohammad Rizwan, Imrul Kayes, Towhid Hridoy, Iftikhar Ahmed, Roston Chase, Mahidul Islam Ankon, Tanvir Islam. Mustafizur Rahman, Matthew Forde, Musik Hasan
