COV vs RAN T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BPL 2024
Match 40 of the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League sees Comilla Victorians take on Rangpur Riders in the final game of Phase 4 of the competition in Chattogram. Both sides are in the top two positions and have already qualified for the knockout stage of the tournament. Read on as we preview this fixture which gets underway at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on Tuesday, February 20th at 18:30 local time.
After a winning run from Match 18 onwards, Comilla Victorians’ streak came to an end with a 12 run defeat against Sylhet Strikers in Match 37. Rangpur Riders will be a tougher opposition but we expect the Victorians to also put in a stronger performance.
Rangpur Riders came through a tough test against third place Fortune Barishal with a 1 wicket victory with 3 balls remaining on Monday. This is another clash with a team in the top three but the Riders are showing no signs of slowing down at the top of the table.

COV Team News
Will Jacks was rested for Monday’s game and with the Victorians losing we expect him to come straight back into the side for this match. After a five-ball duck with the bat and no wickets with the ball, we would not be surprised to see Moeen Ali drop out on Tuesday.

Rangpur Riders Team News & Playing 11
RAN Team News
There were a couple of changes for Rangpur Riders from their clash with Chattogram Challengers on Friday to Monday’s game against Fortune Barishal. The Riders could be tempted to rest players ahead of this match but after a tight victory on Monday, we expect them not to make changes just for the sake of it.
RAN Key Players
- Brandon King - The West Indian opener struck three fours and four sixes in the last game and he will be looking forward to a final innings on this pitch.
