After 45 games in the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League, we have reached the final! Comilla Victorians and Fortune Barishal are the teams who will go head to head at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on Friday evening. The Victorians beat Rangpur Riders in Qualifier 1 with Barishal defeating the same opposition in Qualifier 2. Read on as we preview this match. The final gets underway at 19:00 local time in Mirpur on March 1st.
Comilla Victorians finished in second place in the group stage with eight victories and they easily made it nine wins in the competition against Rangpur Riders on Monday. They have experienced players in excellent form and we think they will be very hard to beat in this final.
Fortune Barishal lost three of their opening four games in the tournament but always had a strong squad of players and they have added some real quality in the latter stages as well. They will certainly be competitive in this final against the Victorians.
