BPL 2019, Match 19, Khulna Titans vs Comilla Victorians, Match Prediction – Weather Report, Pitch Conditions, Playing XIs and Live Streaming Details

Midway through the event, Comilla Victorians lost Australian stalwart Steve Smith due to an elbow injury. Imrul Kayes took over as the captain and they are currently in the second position of the table in this edition’s Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). Their morale would also be high as the team managed to demolish Sylhet Sixers, bowling them out for a paltry 68 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.

They are next scheduled to play against the Khulna Titans in the second of tomorrow’s doubleheader. The Titans won their first match this season against Rajshahi Kings and that would give them the much-needed confidence. Nevertheless, beating a power-packed Comilla won’t be a walk in the park by any means. Another loss may get them in a deeper hole as far as qualifying for the playoffs is concerned.

Pitch and Conditions

The track yesterday favoured the batsmen and the match between Sylhet and Rangpur Riders turned out to be a fairly high-scoring affair. Dew has played its part to a large extent, so much so that even the drops could be seen on the grass and it’s not speculated to be any different even in tomorrow’s encounter. Bearing in mind all the factors, teams may want to field first after winning the toss.

Team Combination

Khulna Titans

Jahurul Islam and Junaid Siddique are the opening batsmen with the left-handed Dawid Malan to bat at number three. Mahmudullah and Nazmul Hossain Shanto are slotted to bat at four and five respectively. Carlos Brathwaite, David Wiese and Ariful Haque are the all-rounders. The team has a couple of left-arm seamers in Junaid Khan and Shoriful Islam. Taijul Islam is the lone specialist spin bowling option.

Probable XI

Jahurul Islam (wk), Junaid Siddique, Dawid Malan, Mahmudullah, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Carlos Brathwaite, Ariful Haque, David Wiese, Taijul Islam, Shoriful Islam, Junaid Khan

Comilla Victorians

The left-right duo of Anamul Haque and Tamim Iqbal would open the batting. Shamsur Rahman and skipper Kayes are slotted to bat next. The experienced Shahid Afridi and Thisara Perera from Sri Lanka are the all-rounders in the lineup. Liam Dawson, Mohammad Saifuddin and Wahab Riaz can also tonk the ball. All three also need to take responsibility with the ball along with Mahedi and Ziaur Rahman.
