Comilla Victorians
Comilla Victorians, currently holding the second position on the points table, have shown exceptional form throughout the tournament, clinching seven victories out of their nine matches. Their recent win over Khulna Tigers by a margin of seven wickets highlighted their dominance, reaching a target of 165 runs in just 16.3 overs.
The spotlight was stolen by Towhid Hridoy, who delivered a spectacular unbeaten knock of 91 runs off 47 balls, filled with seven fours and seven sixes.
The bowling department, led by Moeen Ali and Matthew Forde, who took two wickets each, also contributed significantly to the team's success. Comilla Victorians will be eager to continue their winning streak and secure a spot in the BPL 2024 playoffs by winning this clash.
Sylhet Strikers
On the other hand, Sylhet Strikers find themselves in a challenging situation, placed sixth on the points table after securing only three wins from their ten matches. Their aspirations for advancing in the tournament have been dampened following a series of disappointing performances, the latest being an 18-run defeat against Fortune Barishal.
Despite a valiant effort from the lower middle order, with notable half-centuries from Benny Howell and Ariful Haque, the Strikers were unable to meet their 184-run target, showcasing a need for improvement in their top and middle-order batting lineup.
