CMV vs RRR Match Prediction - Jan 06, 2023

A fresh season of the Bangladesh Premier League will start this week and the defending champions, the Comilla Victorians will be looking to make a victorious start as they take on the Rangpur Riders on the opening day.

According to most cricket betting sites, the Victorians start this match as the favorite to win. However, with plenty of changes on both sides compared to the previous season, we surely have a closely fought contest on our hands. 

 

CMV vs RRR Team Previews

Comilla Victorians

The Comilla Victorians were one of the strongest teams in the previous season and ended up lifting the trophy for the 3rd time in its history. However, there have been some changes to the squad since then and only time will tell if they will be able to carry forward their form into this season too.

The Victorians have bid adieu to two of their top-scoring batsmen from the last season, Faf du Plessis and Moeen Ali. They have also lost Sunil Narine, who played an important role with the bat as well as the ball. Other significant departure includes Mahmudul Hasan Joy, who has joined the Khulna Tigers.

However, the team management has brought in plenty of firepowers to cover these losses. Mohammad Rizwan, who has been consistently one of the top-performing batsmen in the T20s, joins the squad, along with other big hitters like Dawid Malan, Khushdil Shah, and Muhammad Nabi. Imrul Kayes and Brandon King will be seen at the top of the order, while Sean Williams brings all his all-round capabilities into the team.

The bowling looks pretty strong. Mustafizur Rahman, who was the leading wicket-taker last season, will once again spearhead the pace attack and will be joined by Shaheen Afridi and Hasan Ali, while a young Abrar Ahmed and Tanvir Islam will be seen in the spin department.

Rangpur Rangers

The Rangpur Riders, formerly known as the Rangpur Rangers, are back in the league after missing the previous season. In their last appearance, during the 2019-20 season, they finished second-last on the points table.

However, with a new name and a fresh squad, the Riders will be hoping for a better outcome this time.

The team management has tried to strike a balance between experienced players as well as newcomers and seems to have done well in that department. Led by Nurul Hasan, the team has some well-known faces including Benny Howell, Shoaib Malik, and Pathum Nisaanka.

Sikandar Raza, who played extremely well in the most recent T20 World Cup also finds a spot in the squad, along with Mahedi Hasan, Shamim Hossain, Mohammad Nawaz, and Mohammad Naim. The bowling department looks a bit weak when compared to their opponents as the only experienced bowler here is Pakistan seamer Haris Rauf.

Other bowlers include Jeffrey Vandersay, Hasan Mahmud, Rakibul Hasan, and Robiul Haque.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at Sher E Bangla Stadium is flat and provides equal opportunities to both, the bowlers as well as the batsmen. The average first innings score here is around 145, which is a par score. There is no forecast of rain here on Friday and the temperature will remain around 20 degrees Celsius.

Since the match will be played under lights and it is expected to be quite humid, dew will play an important role in the second innings. 

 

CMV vs RRR Betting Tips

The Comilla Victorians are the defending champions this season and despite losing some of their key performers from the last season, have brought in plenty of backup in the form of new players. On the other hand, the Raiders missed the last season and are back with a new-looking squad containing a mixture of experienced as well as new faces.

We feel that the Victorians have the upper hand here because most of their players have plenty of experience on the big stage and will find it easy to take on the relatively inexperienced opponents.

Bet on the Comilla Victorians to win.
