BPL 2019, Match 41: Comilla Victorians vs Rangpur Riders: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

The Comilla Victorians and Rangpur Riders are undoubtedly two of the best teams in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). The Victorians are on a four-match streak and are high on confidence. In their last match, the Imrul Kayes-captained won a cliffhanger against the Dhaka Dynamites at the Sher-E-Bangla National Stadium that also showed that they can hold their nerve under pressure.

The Riders are also in decent form having won seven out of their 11 matches and are second in the points table. They had an indifferent start to the tournament and languished at the bottom of the table. To their fortune, they picked themesleves up in the knick of time. Both Victorians and the Riders are vying for the top two spots and eight victories in the league stage would most likely ensure that.
