The ongoing Bangladesh Premier League is nearing its end and to entertain us all in the 2nd qualifier match-up, we have the Chattogram Challengers taking on the Comilla Victorians.
It was a seven-wicket victory over the Khulna Tigers that gave the Challengers a spot in the qualifier game and they will be hoping that this momentum will act in their favor as they seek to beat the Victorians and proceed further in the tournament.
The Comilla Victorians lost the first qualifier match against a resolute Fortune Barishal side and they will need a win here to book a place in the final. They will have to marshall their batters, who suffered a spectacular collapse in the previous game.
The 2nd qualifier game is scheduled to take place on the 16th of February, 2022 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka.
