COV vs FBA: Team Previews

Comilla Victorians

Comilla Victorians, chasing a hat-trick of BPL titles, finished the league stage at number two on the BPL 2024 points table with eight wins from their first 12 matches. Litton Das and co. also ravaged table-toppers Rangpur Riders in the first qualifier by six wickets to storm into their third successive BPL final.

Captain Litton Das has himself led from the front, considering the elegant opening batsman has so far tallied 375 runs this season at an average of nearly 30. Meanwhile, his teammate Towhid Hridoy is placed second among the highest run-makers of the season with 447 runs to his name.

Tanvir Islam has led Comilla Victorians’ bowling with much success, having taken 13 wickets from 12 games with an impressive average and economy rate. While senior man Mustafizur Rahman has also seized 11 wickets from nine innings, he will likely miss the BPL 2024 final owing to the head injury he sustained earlier in the tournament.

Fortune Barishal

Fortune Barishal fought their way to securing the third spot on the BPL 2024 points table and qualify for the playoffs. They later knocked over Chattogram Challengers and tabletoppers Rangpur Riders in the knockout stage to make it into the finals and set a date with hat-trick chasers Comilla Victorians.

Senior Fortune Barishal members Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim have emerged as their leading batters from the tournament, with the former finding himself at the top of the run-scoring charts with 453 runs. The dashing left-handed opener has notched up three half-centuries in the process.

Despite featuring in just eight BPL 2024 games for the Barishal, Mohammad Saifuddin is among the leading wicket-takers of the season with 14 scalps. Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Obed McCoy have also delivered timely strikes with 11 wickets each to their names.
