COV vs SYL T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BPL 2023
Comilla Victorians take on Sylhet Strikers at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Monday afternoon in Match 5 of the 2022-23 Bangladesh Premier League. The Victorians lost their opening fixture by 34 runs to Rangpur Riders on Friday. Sylhet Strikers have already got four points on the board after wins on Friday and Saturday. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 13:30 local time.
Comilla Victorians hit only three sixes in their innings on Friday and clearing the ropes will be one of the areas they look to improve in this match. They have plenty of talent and we expect an improvement in this game.
Sylhet Strikers have been dominant and ruthless in both of their games so far. We expect to see them batting with freedom again in this match although the Victorians will be their toughest opponents so far.

Comilla Victorians Team News & Playing 11
COV Team News
The 2021-22 BPL Champions were comfortably beaten by Rangpur Rangers on Friday but we do not expect to see any changes to the side in spite of the defeat. Five of their batters made scores between 10-19 and they will need some of those players to go on in this game.
COV Key Players
- Litton Das- the opener did not have the best start to the BPL 2023 with his 10 runs coming from 12 balls. He only hit two boundaries and is a much better player than that innings suggests.
- Dawid Malan- the England international hit a six and two fours in his 17 runs from nine balls in Match 2. He will have one eye on the ODI World Cup later this year and will be keen to develop his game on turning pitches.
- Mustafizur Rahman- the left arm fast medium got his campaign off to a wicket-taking start with the dismissal of Benny Howell in the final over against Rangpur. He will want to be more dangerous in the early stages of this game.
COV Team Form
After winning the final two games to secure the title in last year’s tournament, the Victorians are looking to avoid their second successive defeat of this campaign.

SYL Team News
There were no changes to the Sylhet Strikers XI from their win over Chattogram Challengers on Friday to their follow-up victory over Fortune Barishal on Saturday. With a day of rest ahead of this match, we expect to see the same team selected.
SYL Key Players
- Najmul Hossain Shanto- it has been an excellent start to this tournament for the 24 year old left-handed opener. He hit 43 not out in Match 1 and 48 from 40 balls in Match 4.
- Mashrafe Mortaza- the skipper picked up the big wickets of Anamul Haque, Iftikhar Ahmed and Shakib Al Hasan on Saturday to make it five wickets for the tournament so far.
- Rejaur Rahman Raja- after producing the best figures for his side against Chattogram, the young pace bowler took his tally to four dismissals when he got the wicket of Haider Ali against Fortune Barishal.
SYL Team Form
The Strikers have recorded wins by eight wickets and six wickets so far in the competition. A third win would see them take a big lead at the top of the table.
Sylhet Strikers Predicted Playing 11
Colin Ackermann, Najmul Hossain Shanton, Towhid Hridoy, Zakir Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Thisara Perera, Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Akbar Ali, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Amir, Rejaur Rahman Raja
