BPL 2019, Match 35: Chittagong Vikings vs Comilla Victorians: Fantain Fantasy Cricket Tips

Match number-35 of the tournament promises a mouth-watering clash between two teams that sit in the number two and three spots in the points table. Both Chittagong and Comilla have 12 points and are only separated by the net-run-rate.

Chittagong was on song but appear to have hit a bit of a rough patch with back-to-back losses. They have three games in their kitty and cannot afford any further slip-ups if they are to progress.

Meanwhile, Comilla scored a superlative win over the Titans and are high on confidence. With a positive net-run-rate and momentum on their side, they will look to push the throttle and steam right ahead.

Venue

• Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram
• This stadium has everything that a bowler dreads– a batsman-friendly track, short boundaries and a lightning fast outfield
• 1^st innings score: 184 (from the previous eight T20 games)
• In the past eight T20 games at this venue, the team batting 2^nd has managed to win just 2 matches out of six.

Hot Picks

• Evin Lewis: the dashing West Indian showed no signs of his hamstring injury while pummeling his way past the Titans to a resounding century
• Shamsur Rahman: if anything, Rahman is consistent and is always chipping in with the twenties and thirties
• Mushfiqur Rahim: not much background needed here. He will be your wicket-keeper in all probability and is always value for money
• Thisara Perera: the Sri Lankan is tailor-made for the format and will always win you Fantain Fantasy points with both bat and ball
• Shahid Afridi: pick him for the sheer thrill of having an “x” factor in your squad. You never know what he can come up with but on his day, he’s a real champ.
