By Pranob Thachanthara

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Rajshahi Kings vs Comilla Victorians match. We are covering RK vs COV Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the Bangladesh Premier League 2019 match. The match is to be played at Shere Bangla National Stadium.

Rajshahi Kings have won one and lost one encounter yet in the season. In the last match, They defeated Khulna Titans by 7 wickets. Bowling first, Isuru Udana was at his lethal best taking a three-wicket haul and was supported by Mustafizur Rahman who took two wickets to restrict Titans at 117. Skipper Mehidy Hasan promoted himself and played a match-winning knock of 51 runs and was supported by Monimul Haque who scored 44 runs. They will hope for a similar unison effort from all players in upcoming matches.

Comilla Victorians are just above Kings in the points table with similar one win and one loss to their name. However, They lost their last match to Rangpur Riders by nine wickets. Batting first, They collapsed at 63 runs due to poor shot selection from the majority of players. Shahid Afridi was the only positive with the bat scoring 25 runs. In response, Riders chased the target easily on the loss of one wicket. They will hope for a responsible performance from batsmen against Rajshahi Kings.

A good match can be expected between both teams.
