Bangladesh Premier League (BPL 2018-19): Match 35, Chittagong Vikings vs Comilla Victorians, Dream11 Prediction, Playing XI Updates & Fantasy Cricket Tips - January 29th, 2019
With only a handful of games left in this year's edition of the Bangladesh Premier League, Chittagong Vikings and Comilla Victorians are firmly in the race for the playoffs and will be hoping to get one over each other to get the two crucial points.
While Chittagong have fallen off the radar of late with two consecutive losses, Comilla's form has been decent with the likes of Liam Dawson and Tamim Iqbal starring for them. With a play-off place and two crucial points at stake for both teams, the Chattogram pitch, which is considered to be a batting paradise, is sure to host a very good match filled with quality.
Squads to choose from:
Chittagong Vikings:
Sunzamul Islam, Sikandar Raza, Luke Ronchi, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mohammad Shahzad, Robbie Frylinck, Mosaddek Hossain, Dasun Shanaka, Abu Jayed, Khaled Ahmed, Najibullah Zadran, Nayeem Hasan, Cameron Delport, Mohammad Ashraful, Robiul Haque, Yasir Ali, Nihaduzzaman, Shadman Islam
Comilla Victorians:
Tamim Iqbal, Thisara Perera, Imrul Kayes, Mohammad Saifuddin, Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik, Asela Gunaratne, Liam Dawson, Abu Hider Rony, Anamul Haque, Ziaur Rahman, Mosharraf Hossain, Mohammad Shahid, Shamsur Rahman, Sanjit Saha, Evin Lewis, Waqar Salamkheil, Aamer Yamin.
Playing XI Updates:
Chittagong Vikings:
While no personnel changes are expected, Frylinck's injury concerns have again dented their bowling strength with no viable replacement for the burly South African. Cameron Delport needs to come good for the Vikings.
Possible XI: Delport, Shahzad (WK), Yasir Ali, Rahim(C), Mosaddek, Raza, Zadran, Nayeem, Khaled, Robiul and Abu Jayed
Comilla Victorians:
With a fairly settled line-up, not many changes are expected of the Victorians. Imrul Kayes and Tamim Iqbal will be key for the side to set up a platform for Thisara Perera and Shahid Afridi to launch and take the game away from Chittagong Vikings.
Possible XI: Tamim, Shamsur, Anamul(WK), Kayes(C), Dawson, Perera, Afridi, Saifuddin, Mahedi Hasan, Ziaur and Wahab Riaz.
Fantasy Tips and Suggestions:
Wicket-keeper: Mohammed Shahzad is the ideal choice for the keeper with his ability to provide fast starts. His previous outing for the Vikings was just a proof of his destructive ability.
Batsmen: Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Yasir Ali, and Mushfiqur Rahim are the ideal set of batsmen to choose in your fantasy team with the likes of Cameron Delport and Shamsur Rahman also available.
All-rounders: Comilla Victorians are blessed with three very good all-rounders who are more importantly in form. All three of Shahid Afridi, Liam Dawson, and Thisara Perera are invaluable selections for the match.
Bowlers: Abu Jayed and Khaled Ahmed have been sensational in the death for the Vikings and without Frylinck, both of them would have to put in their best efforts for the cause of the team. Along with the Vikings duo, Mohammed Saifuddin is a very good option with his ability with the bat, an added boost to fantasy players.
Captain: Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim have been in very good touch of late and are the prime contenders for the captain. Other options also include Cameron Delport and Thisara Perera.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: Mohammed Shahzad (WK), Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Yasir Ali, Mushfiqur Rahim, Liam Dawson, Thisara Perera, Shahid Afridi, Mohammed Saifuddin, Abu Jayed, and Khaled Ahmed. Captain: Mushfiqur Rahim.
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Anamul Haque (WK), Mushfiqur Rahim, Cameron Delport, Imrul Kayes, Tamim Iqbal, Liam Dawson, Thisara Perera, Sikander Raza, Mahedi Hasan Rana, Nayeem Hasan, and Khaled Ahmed. Captain: Thisara Perera.
