Comilla Victorians vs Fortune Barishal Match Analysis
We’ve made it to the championship game of the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League after 45 games! Fortune Barishal and Comilla Victorians are the teams that will face off on Friday night at the Shere Bangla National Stadium. In Qualifier 1, the Victorians defeated the Rangpur Riders, and in Qualifier 2, Barishal triumphed over the same opponents. On March 1, the final begins in Mirpur at 19:00 local time.
With eight wins in the group round, Comilla Victorians secured second place. On Monday, they defeated Rangpur Riders to make it nine wins in the competition. We believe they will be very difficult to beat in this final since they have seasoned players who are playing exceptionally well.
Despite losing three of their first four games in the competition, Fortune Barishal has a solid playing base and has added some true talent in the later phases of the competition. They will most definitely compete fiercely with the Victorians in this final.
Comilla Victorians vs Fortune Barishal Team Preview & Squads
Comilla Victorians
Before the match, all eyes will be on Litton Das’ team sheet because there are rumors that seasoned left-arm pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman may play in the final after missing time due to a head injury. If he is fit, he will probably take Musfik Hasan’s spot, who let up 72 runs in the first BPL 2024 qualifier.
The keeper-battler Litton Das is the fourth-highest run scorer in the tournament going into this final. He has been playing well during the last three-quarters of the competition. When Towhid Hridoy scored 64 runs from 43 balls against the Rangpur Riders on Monday, only Tamim Iqbal had more runs than him.
In the first qualifier, Andre Russell, a formidable 35-year-old, claimed crucial wickets of Nurul Hasan and Shakib Al Hasan. In the last head-to-head match against Fortune Barishal, Russell also removed Tamim Iqbal. When faced with Rangpur Riders, left-arm spinner Tanvir Islam hit with his second ball after receiving the new one! He has the best figures of 4/13 in the tournament.

Fortune Barishal
Fortune Barishal has chosen the same lineup for both of their play-off games, despite experimenting with their batting order throughout their matches this week. We anticipate seeing the same players play in the championship game because no injuries have been reported following Wednesday’s victory.
Tamim Iqbal, the skipper, scored 33, 66, and 52 not out in his three previous innings before collapsing against the Rangpur Riders. He also struck two boundaries. In an outstanding effort on Wednesday, 36-year-old right-hander Mushfiqur Rahim claimed the Player of the Match Award with four catches and seven boundaries.
In Qualifier 2, Mohammad Saifuddin, the quick bowler, extended his impressive form by removing Shakib Al Hasan in the same over after taking out Mahedi Hasan with his first ball of the game. James Fuller, an English all-rounder who was born in South Africa and has played for several teams in T20 franchise cricket, was on fire against Rangpur, finishing with a score of 3/25.

We believe that both teams will prefer to field first in the 2024 BPL play-offs as the side batting second has won all three of those games. Throughout this match in Mirpur, the humidity will increase from 40% to 60%+. With clear skies predicted for the whole event, there won’t be any rain for the final.
On this pitch, we may anticipate good pace and carry from the pace bowlers along with some movement. The spinners will have a turn, but the hitters ought to be in the lead.
