Fortune Barishal and Comilla Victorians will lock horns in the 21st match of the Bangabandhu BPL 2022 on Monday, February 7, at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet.

Barishal, led by Shakib Al Hasan, meanwhile, are second in the points table. However, their net run rate of -0.287 is the second-worst among all the participating teams. Their previous game against Sylhet Sunrisers on Friday didn't take place, as rain played spoilsport.
