CV vs BRSAL Match Prediction & Analysis
Comilla Victorians will take on Fortune Barishal in the Bangladesh Premier League Final at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. The two teams had locked horns in the 2022 Final where Comilla Victorians won by 1 run.
Fortune Barishal are coming into this match on the back of 3 consecutive wins including one against Comilla Victorians. Barishal have been exceptional with the ball as they restricted the opposition to a low score in each of these wins.
Comilla Victorians finished with 140 for 8 after being put to bat first in their last encounter against Fortune Barishal. They quickly bounced back in their next game courtesy of some incredible knocks from skipper Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy.
It seems to be a balanced pitch that offers assistance to both bowlers and batters allowing for quite competitive cricket. We expect the bowlers to be key in this match and both teams will be eager to bowl first.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Comilla Victorians Preview
Comilla Victorians have won two back-to-back BPL titles and are now in the Final once again aiming for their 3rd consecutive title win. They’ve been quite impressive in Dhaka winning 4 of their 6 matches at the venue.
Toss seems like a crucial factor in the matches played at this venue. In their first encounter against Fortune Barishal, Comilla Victorians successfully chased down a 162-run target.
And in their second head-to-head encounter, it was Fortune Barishal who won the toss and opted to bowl first restricting the Victorians to a low score.
The Comilla Victorians have some quality batters in their lineup. Sunil Narine and Litton Das open the innings for them followed by Towhid Hridoy and Johnson Charles at 3 and 4 form a solid top-order.
The batting lineup is deep and features reliable and experienced finishers such as Moeen Ali and Andre Russell. There are wicket-keeper batters like Jaker Ali and Mahidul Islam Ankon in this lineup who could add strength in the lower order.
Jaker Ali scored 38 off 16 against Fortune Barishal in their last encounter in Dhaka. In the bowling department, Sunil Narine is the one to watch out for. He’s been consistent with his economy.
Others like Andre Russell and Musfik Hasan have been among the wicket-takers though Hasan was very expensive in the last outing conceding 72 runs from his 4 Overs against Rangpur Riders.
Overall, it is a well-balanced side that ticks all the right boxes in both departments and should be able to get the upper hand if they bowl first.
Comilla Victorians Predicted Playing XI:
Sunil Narine, Johnson Charles, Litton Das (c & wk), Towhid Hridoy, Mahidul Islam Ankon, Moeen Ali, Andre Russell, Jaker Ali, Tanvir Islam, Rohanat Doullah Borson, Musfik Hasan

Fortune Barishal Preview
Fortune Barishal have another shot at the final after they lost to Comilla Victorians by just 1 run in 2022. They are in great form this time with 3 consecutive wins including one against the Victorians.
The bowling has been in great form for Fortune Barishal. Their key players are delivering consistently. If they win the toss here and opt to bowl first, they are very likely to get ahead in the contest.
Kyle Mayers and Mohammad Saifuddin are among the consistent wicket-takers for the side. They will be well ed by the likes of Taijul Islam and James Fuller.
And though Mehidy Hasan Miraz isn’t bowling his full quota of 4 Overs, he’s making significant contributions even with just a couple of Overs. This is a strong bowling attack that is very likely to pose a threat to the defending champions in the Final.
As far as the batting is considered, the top 4 of this lineup features some of the best T20 players in Bangladesh. Skipper Tamim Iqbal opens the innings alongside Mehidy Hasan Miraz while Soumya Sarkar and Mushfiqur Rahim follow at 3 and 4 respectively.
There is no dearth of experience in this batting lineup. In the lower-middle order, Kyle Mayers and David Millers will be in the finisher’s role. Fortune Barishal have just what it needs to put the Victorians on the backfoot.
There are many all-rounders in the lower order adding depth to this batting order. Fortune Barishal have a solid chance of winning the final this time.
Fortune Barishal Predicted Playing XI:
Tamim Iqbal (c), Kyle Mayers, Soumya Sarkar, David Miller, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, James Fuller, Mohammad Saifuddin, Obed McCoy, Taijul Islam

CV vs BRSAL Pitch Report
Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka will host the Bangladesh Premier League 2024 Final between Comilla Victorians and Fortune Barishal. In domestic T20s, the average 1st innings score here is 151 runs. However, a match-winning score should be something over 185 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams bowling first have won a majority of the matches played at this venue. Even if the team batting first posts a good score, the chasing team has enjoyed the upper hand almost every time. Considering the batting strengths of both teams we reckon chasing will be the preferred option in this game.

Winning Prediction
Though the Comilla Victorians have won the last two consecutive titles and have a great overall side, Fortune Barishal will have the momentum on their side. They too have a great batting lineup and coupled with an in-form bowling attack, they are a formidable side. Toss is a key factor and the team winning it will have the advantage. In our match prediction, Fortune Barishal will find a slight edge going into this match.
