Who will win BPL 2023
The upcoming season of the Bangladesh Premier League will feature 7 teams and a total of 46 matches to be played across 3 main cricket stadiums in Bangladesh.
Comilla Victorians defeated Fortune Barishal by 1 run in the final of the last season and lifted their 3rd BPL title.
This year we will see some big changes as many previous players are not going to be part of the tournament in the upcoming season. But on the other hand, we will see a long list of big names of T20 cricket in the next season.
Looking at the squads, we are backing Fortune Barishal to emerge as the winning team of the upcoming season.
One of the best all-rounders, Shakib Al Hasan puts a great intensity into both batting and bowling line-up. Iftikhar Ahmed will join the side this year and we saw his brilliant form in the recently held T10 league.
Afghan batters Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz are powerhouse t20 players and they will join Barishal side.
At the bowling end, we will see Naveen-ul-Haq, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Kesrick Williams, Usman Qadir which looks like a strong blend of spin and pace attack. Sri Lankan batter Kusal Perera is also going to be a part of the Barishal camp this year and he might get some chances as well.
