FBA vs COV Match Preview

Match 41 of the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League will take place on Friday afternoon at Dhaka’s Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium between the Comilla Victorians and Fortune Barishal. The Victorians have already qualified for the knockout stage, but Barishal could do with a further win to confirm theirs. Comilla Victorians secured a spot in the top four and the knockout stage by defeating Rangpur Riders by six wickets with 14 balls remaining in Match 40 in Chattogram. Fortune Barishal were in excellent form prior to their one-wicket defeat to the Rangpur Riders in Match 38. They may look back on that loss as the moment they were eliminated from the tournament.
