Durdanto Dhaka will face Comilla Victorians in the Bangladesh Premier League's 26th match on Friday at Sher-e-Bangla Stadium. Durdanto Dhaka is at the bottom of the standings, having won only one of their six matches. Each defeat reduces their chances of making the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Comilla Victorians are third with four victories and an amazing net run rate of +1.281. A win in this match might considerably improve their prospects of progressing in the competition.

After a promising start by securing victory against Comilla Victorians, Durdanto Dhaka's BPL 2024 campaign has taken a downward turn with six successive defeats.
The team is encountering difficulties across the board, with batsmen failing to amass runs and bowlers struggling to maintain economical spells. Mohammad Naim shines as the team's highest run-getter, with 192 runs in seven matches. However, his contributions are offset by an average of 27.42 and a strike rate of 125.49.
The overseas player Alex Ross has scored 110 runs in his 6 innings this season with an average of 18.33. Irfan Sukkur is the third-highest scoring batter, with 87 runs in seven games.
When it comes to bowling, the team heavily relies on Shoriful Islam to deliver wickets. His outstanding performance in the tournament has positioned him as the third-highest wicket-taker in BPL 2024, having secured 13 wickets across 7 matches with an economy rate of 8.17. Conversely, Arafat Sunny's performance has been lackluster, managing to grab only 6 wickets in the same number of matches with an economy rate of 6.95.

In sharp contrast to Dhaka's performance, Comilla Victorians have emerged as a dominant force this season. After securing four wins in their last five outings, they've catapulted to the third spot in the points table after a rocky start. Imrul Keyes leads the charge with an impressive 148 runs in three matches, boasting an average of 49.33. Meanwhile, Towhid Hridoy follows closely with 142 runs in six matches, maintaining a solid average of 23.66.
Tanvir Islam and Mustafizur Rahman have assumed pivotal roles in the bowling department for Comilla Victorians this season. Islam's exceptional form has seen him clinch the title of the team's top wicket-taker, with an impressive tally of 11 wickets across 6 matches at an economy rate of 6.14. Similarly, Mustafizur has contributed significantly, with 8 wickets to his name in the 6 matches at an economy of 8.43.

At the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, the pitch's sluggish nature heavily favors spin bowlers over fast bowlers. Although fast bowlers may find brief assistance with swing early in the game, the track predominantly caters to spin bowling. Batsmen who navigate the initial swing effectively can accumulate runs against fast bowlers, but as the match progresses, the surface turns into a spinner's paradise. Negotiating the sharp turn and variable bounce becomes a daunting task for batsmen, amplifying the effectiveness of spinners on this pitch.
We expect clear skies during the match. During this match, temperatures will hover around 22 degrees. The relative humidity will be low, so the bowlers won't sweat during the game. There is no chance of rain interrupting this contest.
The average score batting first at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in T20 cricket is around the 150-run mark. This season, the highest total posted at the venue is 188-2 by Khulna Tigers while chasing against Fortune Barishal. The team batting first will be looking to set a target of around 150-160 runs.
Out of the twelve matches played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium this season in the BPL, nine have been won by the team batting second while three have clinched by the side batting first. So it’s fair to say that the toss-winning team is likely to field first in this match.
Despite having the home advantage, Durdanto Dhaka face a challenging matchup against the formidable Comilla Victorians. Riding high on a wave of success, the Victorians are seen as strong contenders for the title. Nonetheless, expect a heated battle, as Dhaka will be desperate for victory. However, their batting troubles and overreliance on Shoriful Islam's bowling ability cast doubt on their chances. We predict Comilla Victorians are favorites to win this clash.
Back Comilla Victorians as the winners of this match.
