DD vs COV T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BPL 2024
The 10th season of the Bangladesh Premier League gets underway on Friday as Durdanto Dhaka take on the 2023 Champions Comilla Victorians at the Shere Bangla National Stadium. After finishing in sixth, level on points with the bottom side, Dhaka Dominators have rebranded for this year. This match gets underway at 14:30 local time in Mirpur. Read on as we preview the opening game of the 2024 BPL.
Durdanto Dhaka were disappointing across the tournament last season although they did pick up a couple of victories towards the end of the campaign. Starting this competition against the reigning champions will be a very tough assignment.
Comilla Victorians are the most successful team in the history of the BPL and they have lifted the trophy in three of the last four seasons. This year they are targeting their third successive title and they will be confident of getting off to a winning start.

Durdanto Dhaka Team News & Playing 11
DD Team News
The rebranded Dhaka side will not be at full strength for this opening game with Sadeera Samarawickrama unlikely to feature after the Sri Lanka versus Zimbabwe T20I series concludes only a day before this game. Similarly, Saim Ayub is playing tin the Pakistan versus New Zealand T20I series.
DD Key Players
- Mohammad Naim- the 24 year old left-hander has scored over 2150 T20 runs and he will be keen to secure an opening spot before Saim Ayub is available.
- Mosaddek Hossain- the right-handed middle order batter has been capped 80 times by Bangladesh and he will be keen to perform well against his former side.
- Shoriful Islam- the left-arm opening bowler is widely recognised as Bangladesh’s premier pace bowler and he was in outstanding form during the national tour of New Zealand last month.
- Taskin Ahmed- the 28 year old pace bowler was expected to have more of an impact on the international stage over the last 12 months but he will see BPL 2024 as an excellent opportunity to prove himself again.
DD Team Form
Dhaka won only three matches across the entire tournament last year and ended the competition with successive defeats.
Durdanto Dhaka Predicted Playing 11
Irfan Sukkur, Mohammad Naim (wk), Saif Hassan, Mosaddek Hossain, Chaturanga de Silva, Lahiru Samarakoon, Alauddin Babu, Usman Qadir, Shoriful Islam, Arafat Sunny, Taskin Ahmed

COV Team News
Similar to their opponents, Comilla Victorians will not be at full strength for this opener due to other franchise competitions and international series taking place. Most notably absent will be Moeen Ali (SA20), Mohammad Rizwan (NZ v PAK) and Rashid Khan (injured).
COV Key Players
- Litton Das- the top order batter has an excellent record across all-formats at international level and has made 24 T20 half-centuries across his career.
- Johnson Charles- the vastly experienced keeper-batter is approaching 6000 T20 runs and he scored 79 not out and took the Player of the Match Award in last year’s final.
- Tanvir Islam- the left-arm spinner had a fine BPL season in 2023 where he took 17 wickets and finished the tournament as the joint-leading wicket taker.
- Matthew Forde- the 21 year old from Barbados is already developing a strong reputation on the T20 circuit. He made his international debut in ODIs and T20Is last month.
COV Team Form
Comilla Victorians had a poor start to the campaign last year but then went on an incredible run and won their last 11 matches, a BPL record.
Comilla Victorians Predicted Playing 11
Litton Das, Sunil Narine, Johnson Charles, Imrul Kayes (c), Jaker Ali (wk), Andre Russell, Mahidul Islam Ankon, Tanvir Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Matthew Forde, Mrittunjoy Chowdhury
