Comilla Victorians vs Rangpur Riders Preview
- Liton Das, Chadwick Walton, and Brandon King make form the Comilla Victorians’ potent batting order.
- Rangpur Riders have a new-look roster that lacks experience and are making their third consecutive appearance in the event.
- The defending champion Comilla Victorians won six games at this location the previous season.
Comilla Victorians and Rangpur Riders square off in Game 2 of the 2023 Bangladesh Premier League on Friday night at Mirpur’s Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. Rangpur Riders made their two-year absence from the BPL tournament official last season, helping the Victorians win their third BPL championship. Starting time for the match is 19:15 local time.
The Comilla Victorians only dropped three games on their route to winning the championship last year, and we anticipate them to be among the top teams once more this year. They will be sure that they can start out on top.
It will be intriguing to see how quickly Rangpur Riders can forge a sense of unity with a whole new group of players. We anticipate them to be competitive, but they will need to compete at an exceptionally high level to defeat the reigning BPL champions.

Comilla Victorians are the favourite to win this match.
The first game the defending champions play in a new season often generates interest, so Comilla Victorians will have to get used to competing for that honour. The Rangpur Riders will be driven to secure a significant victory in order to kick off their season and have an intriguing batting lineup. The Victorians, on the other hand, are our pick to win this game because we believe they have the stronger lineup.
