Comilla Victorians
The Victorians, with a remarkable campaign so far, are comfortably perched at the second spot on the points table, amassing 12 points from their eight outings. Their campaign, marked by six wins, saw them outclassing the Chattogram Challengers in their last match with a commanding 73-run victory. The match was a showcase of individual brilliance, with Will Jacks lighting up the stadium with a breathtaking century, while Moeen Ali and Rishaad Hossain spun a web around the opponents, claiming four wickets each to seal the deal.
Khulna Tigers
On the other hand, Khulna Tigers find themselves in a dismal fifth position, having split their eight matches evenly between wins and losses. Their journey, however, hit a snag in the last match where they faced a 78-run defeat at the hands of the Rangpur Riders. Despite Alex Hales' valiant effort to anchor the innings, the Tigers' batting lineup crumbled under pressure, and the bowling department, with the exception of Luke Wood, failed to stem the flow of runs. With the stakes higher than ever, the Tigers are eyeing a strong comeback to climb up the leaderboard and reinvigorate their campaign.
