CMV vs KNT Team Previews
Comilla Victorians
The Comilla Victorians are one of the most consistent teams this season. They have won 6 of the 8 matches played so far and are sitting at the 2nd spot on the points table.
Litton Das and Will Jacks were in brilliant form on Tuesday as they stitched together an 86-run opening partnership to set the base for a huge total against the Chattogram Chakko. Jacks was in a particularly belligerent form as he smashed an unbeaten century.
The team will expect another such performance from him. Towhid Hridoy has been pretty good in the number 3 slot and is also the leading run-getter for his team. Moeen Ali joined the squad and immediately made an impact as a quality all-rounder, scoring 53 runs and also picking up 4 wickets.
He will lead the spin attack along with Rishad Hossain and Tanvir Islam. The latter is the leading wicket-taker for the Victorians with 11 wickets. Mustafizur Rahman has been effective with the new ball and will be joined by Matthew Forde.

Litton Das, Towhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali Anik, Tanvir Islam, Mohammad Rishad Hossain, Moeen Ali, Will Jacks, Johnson Charles, Matthew Forde, Aliss Islam, Mustafizur Rahman.
Khulna Tigers
The Khulna Tigers started well, winning the first 4 matches. However, their form has seen a severe dip as they are entering this contest on the back of 4 consecutive losses.
The Khulna Tigers will depend on its strong top order to give them a good start. Anamul Haque has played some excellent innings this season and is the leading run-scorer for the team. Evin Lewis is another quality batsman but he will need to convert the starts into big innings.
Alex Hales scored an excellent half-century on Tuesday. However, the middle order has struggled to perform so far. Afif Hossain, Akbar Ali, and Habibur Rahman Sohan are all quality batsmen but have failed to get going. The bowling has been a letdown for the team.
Faheem Ashraf is the leading wicket-taker with 8 wickets. Luke Wood, who was playing his first match of the season on Tuesday, picked up 3 wickets. The spin attack will be led by Nahidul Islam and Nasum Ahmed.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at Chattogram is excellent to bat in during the first innings as there is plenty of pace and bounce for the batsmen to work with. The team batting first will look to score over 200 runs. However, the pitch does slow down in the second half and aids the spinners. Anything over 180 will be difficult to chase.
The weather is likely to be pleasant with a temperature of around 23 degrees Celsius.
