CMV vs KNT Match Preview
The top-order batting has been one of the highlights of Comilla’s recent outings with Litton Das being the top-scorer in the team with 230 runs.
Imrul Kayes to has batted pretty consistently for the team. Khushdil Shah has proved to be a handy all-rounder so far, contributing well with the bat as well as the ball. Mustafizur Rahman and Tanvir Ahmed picked up 1 wicket each in the last match and were very economical too, keeping up the pressure on the opposition, while Naseem Shah was once again the leading wicket-taker with 2 wickets.
Khulna played their last match on Monday and was defeated convincingly by the Sylhet Strikers. With less than 24 hours to recover, the Tigers will be a deflated lot when they take on the field. Azam Khan was once again among the runs in that game and is now the leading scorer for the Tigers in this tournament.
Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Shai Hope too got a good start but failed to play a big inning as the Tigers fell short of the target by a good 31 runs. Wahab Riaz missed the last match but his replacement, Mark Deyal impressed everyone by taking 2 wickets.
Mohammad Saifuddin will be sharing the new ball responsibilities while Nahidul Islam and Nasum Ahmed will be on spin duties.
Weather Report
The weather is expected to be clear but humid with no chance of rain.
Pitch Report
The pitch at Sylhet stadium is flat with even bounce giving the batsmen good opportunities to score. That said, quicker bowlers bowling good line and length are quite effective here. Since this is a night match, the bowlers will struggle to grip the ball in the second innings due to dew on the field.

Dream11 Prediction
We are backing the Comilla Victorians. They are riding on some brilliant form and most of its squad is in good form. On the other hand, the Khulna Tigers appear to be a deflated lot and will likely struggle against the top-notch bowling from Comilla.
Top Picks
Tanvir Islam: Tanvir Islam can pick up wickets at regular intervals while being economical at the same time. In the last 8 matches, he has picked up 12 wickets and has an economy rate of just 5.69 runs per over.
Khushdil Shah: Khushdil Shah is a handy all-rounder for the Comilla Victorians. In 8 games, he has picked up 8 wickets and has also scored 164 runs at a strike rate of 165.65.
Mohammad Rizwan: Rizwan is the second-best batsman in the T20s according to the latest ICC rankings. He has scored 182 runs in 6 innings and will likely play an important role in this match too.
