CMV vs RRR Team Previews
Comilla Victorians
The Comilla Victorians have been one of the most consistent teams in the ongoing season, winning 7 of the 10 matches played so far. While they have already qualified for the next stage, a win here will further cement its place in the top 2.
Imrul Kayes, Litton Das, and Towhid Hridoy make up for a solid top order for the Comilla Victorians. Hridoy is the leading run-scorer for the team as well as the season, and will once again play an important role in the number 3 slot. Litton Das and Imrul Kayes have scored 2 half-centuries each.
Jaker Ali and Moeen Ali's form has been a bit patchy in the middle order, but the inclusion of Andre Russell and Sunil Narine does spice things up. The team has received a big blow as one of their top wicket-takers, Mustafizur Rahman, is likely to be out of action due to an injury.
This means that Russell and Musfik Hasan will lead the pace attack, while Moeen, Sunil Narine, and Rishad Hossain will feature in the spin department.
Comilla Victorians Playing 11
Litton Das, Towhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali Anik, Tanvir Islam, Mohammad Rishad Hossain, Musfik Hasan, Moeen Ali, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Matthew Forde, Mahidul Islam Ankon.
Rangpur Rangers
The Rangpur Riders have been clinical in their performance this season and are sitting pretty at the top of the table. The team will feature in Qualifier 1 irrespective of the outcome of this match.
Shakib Al-Hasan is in excellent form with the bat as well as the ball. He has scored 225 runs and also picked up 14 wickets. Mahedi Hasan is another quality all-rounder who has picked up 15 wickets. Brandon King seems to be peaking in form just at the right time as he scored a brisk 45 runs in the previous match.
In addition, the Rangpur Riders have the services of Dwaine Pretorius and James Neesham, who not only add depth to the batting but also provide bowling options. Abu Hider, who made a comeback to the playing eleven after a long hiatus, picked up a fifer and will lead the attack with the new ball alongside Hasan Mahmud.
Rangpur Rangers Playing 11
Nurul Hasan, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahedi Hasan, Shamim Hossain, Hasan Mahmud, Abu Hider, Imran Tahir, Rony Talukdar, James Neesham, Brandon King, Tom Moores.

Litton Das is in good form of late. He has played 3 innings of 40+ runs in his last 5 outings, 2 of which were half-centuries. We are therefore backing him to play a good knock in this match.
Hasan Mahmud has picked up 13 wickets this season and is among the top 3 blowers for the team. As the pitch at Chattogram is helpful to the seamers, we are backing him to bowl another good spell.
The Comilla Victorians have lost each of their last 4 tosses, while Rangpur has won 3 of their last 4. We are backing Rangpur to win this toss and hoping that their luck continues to hold.
