Comilla Victorians vs Rangpur Riders Preview

With 14 points under their belt already, Comilla Victorians must be proud of the way they showed composure in the tournament so far but they are not guaranteed a top-two finish, after their defeat to Sylhet Strikers in the most-recent fixture.

They came so close in the run-chase but fell short of the target as they lost the game by 10 runs in Chattogram. Litton Das and Co might as well get back to the drawing board to think about fresh strategy to make an impact in the next game.

Victorians need just one win in the next two games to seal the top-two spot. On the other hand, Rangpur Riders are playing against Fortune Barishal today and after that, they will take on Comilla Victorians.

If the Riders manage to win in either of the remaining two games, it will guarantee them a spot in the Qualifier 1. What if they lose both the games? If that's the scenario, they can still make it to the top two spot, provided Comilla Victorians defeat Fortune Barshal.

In another scenario, Comilla Victorians or Fortune Barishal should remain behind NRR if there is a 16-point tie. The drama has reached the business end of the tournament and this is where the Net Run Rate will come into the big picture.
