COV vs SYL T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Final BPL 2023
The 2022-23 Bangladesh Premier League Final sees Comilla Victorians, the current holders, take on Sylhet Strikers, who finished top of the group stage, on Thursday evening in Mirpur. The Victorians beat the Strikers in Qualifier 1 before the Strikers defeated Rangpur Riders in Qualifier 2 on Tuesday. Read on as we preview this clash. The match begins at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium at 19:00 local time.
Comilla Victorians have not lost a game since Match 11 of the tournament. They beat the Strikers easily in their last meeting and will be very confident of defending their trophy in this match.
Sylhet Strikers have had an inconsistent end to the season but had enough quality to win a close game against Rangpur Riders on Tuesday. They will need to be at their best if they are to win this final.

Comilla Victorians Team News & Playing 11

Sylhet Strikers Team News & Playing 11
SYL Team News
Shafiqullah Ghafari and Isuru Udana both lost their places in the side ahead of the Qualifier 2 win over Rangpur Riders. In their place came Thisara Perera back into the side and pace bowler Luke Wood in his first appearance for the team.
SYL Key Players
- Najmul Hossain Shanto - The left-handed opener needs another 48 runs to bring up 500 runs in the tournament. He is the leading run scorer in the BPL 2023.
- Rubel Hossain - The 33 year old fast bowler has picked up five wickets from his last two games but also conceded 75 runs. He will be a wicket taking threat but will probably also be expensive in this game.
- Luke Wood - The left-arm pace bowler has had an exceptional winter taking wickets in the BBL, ILT20 and now the BPL. He crucially took two wickets in two balls at the end of the 19th over.
SYL Team Form
Sylhet Strikers have won three and lost two of their last five matches although one of their defeats came against Comilla Victorians.
Sylhet Strikers Predicted Playing 11

🏆 Comilla Victorians vs Sylhet Strikers Prediction
After 45 well contested games, the 2022-23 Bangladesh Premier League comes to a close with the top two teams from the group stage going head to head in the final. Both Comilla Victorians and Sylhet Strikers won nine and lost three games in the group stage and we expect this final to be a very close game. Luke Wood is a fine addition to Sylhet Strikers’ bowling attack but we expect him and Rubel Hossain to concede runs at a high run-rate. Our prediction is for Comilla Victorians to win the final for the second successive season.
