Sylhet Strikers (SYST) are yet to secure a victory in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), having lost both of their matches. While showing promise in phases, the batters displayed good form in the opening game against Chattogram Challengers but faced challenges against Rangpur Riders. The bowlers, particularly Dushan Hemantha, showcased noteworthy performances in the last match. However, there is ample room for improvement at the moment. In their upcoming match, the Mashrafe Mortaza-led side will face Comilla Victorians, who have won one and lost one in the tournament so far.
Comilla Victorians secured a four-wicket victory over Fortune Barishal in their last match. Mustafizur Rahman delivered an impressive performance with the ball, and Imrul Kayes contributed with a solid 52 runs off 41 deliveries. However, the team’s concern lies in the inability to build sustained partnerships among the other batters. Addressing this aspect could be pivotal for Comilla moving forward in the tournament.
