COV vs FBA, 8th Match, Who will win the match, Today Match Prediction
Fortune Barishal is expected to win against Comilla Victorians.
The Fortune Barishal is one of the teams to beat this season and looks a bit more well-balanced side than the Comilla Victorians. They boast a good blend of youth and experience, with Shakib Al Hasan and Dwayne Bravo headlining their batting unit.
On the other hand, the Victorians also boast a strong batting unit, at least on paper, with the likes of their star batter, Faf du Plessis. However, his form has been a major concern for them as he returned to the pavilion scoring just 2 runs in the last match against Sylhet Sunrisers. Overall both teams are evenly matched for a cracking game to be expected in Dhaka.
Popular Betting Odds for COV vs FBA, Match 8, Today Match Prediction, Cricket Betting Tips
Top Batsman for Comilla Victorians- Faf du Plessis
Faf du Plessis is set to play for the Victorians for their second outing in the tournament. Faf is yet to translate his IPL form into the BPL as he returned to the pavilion scoring 2 runs in his first game with Victorians. He is a decent player of both pace and spin, which should hold him in good stead ahead of this game. If he returns to his natural form in this game he can demolish the opposition single-handedly by his hard-hitting.
Top Batsman for Fortune Barishal- Shykat Ali
Shykat Ali remained the highest scorer for the Barishals in their last outing against the Challengers. He hammered 39 Runs in 35 balls in his brief innings which included two sixes. Carrying his current form in this contest he will pose a major threat to the Victorian bowlers. He has amassed 54 Runs in 2 matches with an average of 27.00 and currently leads the run tally for the Barishals.
Top Bowler for Comilla Victorians- Mustafizur Rahman
The 26-year-old is leading the bowling attack for the Victorians with his left-arm pace bowling. He bagged two major scalps for his team in the last match against Sylhet Sunrisers. Rahman has already impressed everyone with his performance in the List-A matches. He is a safe pick here for the betting players and is expected to continue his form on the Dhaka pitch with his bowling variations produced especially in the death overs.
Top Bowler for Fortune Barishal- Alzarri Joseph
Alzari Joseph has been in fine form over the last few months, using his raw pace and variations to good effect. He has picked up a few wickets in the first few days of the BPL, holding him in good form ahead of this much-awaited game. He is the leading wicket-taker in the tournament so far, bagging 5 Wickets in 2 games which includes the best figure of 3/32 in his last game against Chattogram Challengers.
