As The Bangladesh Premier League 2023 comes to a close, the Comilla Victorians and the Fortune Barishal, both coached by Imrul Kayes, will square off. There is no uncertainty that both of these teams would want to win here to re-assert their supremacy in the tournament, even though the former are currently third in the points table and the latter are immediately above them. With seven victories in their last ten games, Fortune Barishal has been one of the most successful teams in the competition. However, after a catastrophic start to the tournament, the Comilla Victorians have made an incredible comeback. In addition to the West Indian superstars Sunil Narine and Andre Russell, who will bring a lot of firepower to the table, they have some real superstars like Mohammad Rizwan and Khushdil Shah in their ranks.
Iftikhar Ahmed, a hard-hitting player who has been the highlight of the display for Fortune Barishal, is returning, which is big news. Shakib Al Hassan, the captain, has been as tenacious as ever, and Anamul Haque Bijoy has also made a few significant one's part. All things considered, it looks to be a game amongst two elite teams that will be a real thriller.
Fortune Barisal vs Comilla Victorians
Comilla Victorians have now won 8 straight games, a new BPL record, and it was a resounding victory for them. Fortune Barishal continued to battle all throughout team and bring them behind strain, whereas it was the West Indian, Andre Russell, who put on a display and closed things off in form. Khushdil Shah, who originally stumbled but eventually recovered his footing and increased the ante, provided him with able assistance. They were prepared for the chase thanks to Litton Das' earlier crucial 36-run knock.
The Barishal bowlers put in a valiant effort, but 121 runs was never going to be enough to overcome Comilla's potent batting order. Nevertheless, they did a great job of turning it into a contest and kept taking wickets at regular times. Ebadot and Khaled, two outstanding fast bowlers who bowled some incredibly tight lines, were outstanding for them. But in the end, Russell crushed their skipper Shakib for 17 runs in the 18th over, which proved to be the turning point in the game. With this victory, the Comilla Victorians, who have now won 8 straight games, have risen to the top of the standings and appear to be very risky for any team at the moment. Since their batting has severely hurt them in this game, Fortune Barishal will need to go return to the representation board and work on improving it.
Match 38 of The Bangladesh Premier League 2023 happened at The Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
