Bangladesh T20 League

14th Match: CCH vs COV

Preview

The 14th game of the Bangladesh T20 League will be played between CCH vs COV in Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on 16th January, Monday, 2023, at 06:00 PM IST. CV, who are still seeking their first victory in the competition, will face a formidable opponent. CCH lost their last game by a score of 12 runs, and they'll want to put their recent losing streak behind them and quickly get back on track. But, on the other hand, the Victorians will have to put their all into defeating Chattogram at Chattogram.

The CCH had a mixed tournament, splitting their matches into equal wins and losses (2W, 2L). The Challengers defeated the Dominators by an impressive eight wickets, giving them plenty of confidence. With a third-wicket partnership of 100 runs in only 63 balls, Afif Hossain and Darwish Rasooli inspired the challengers to a stunning win. This win will undoubtedly boost them before their game against the struggling Comilla.

In the last game, Afif Hossain had a strike rate of 132 and scored 69 runs off 52 balls. Darwish Rasooli had a remarkable strike rate of 169 and scored 56 runs off just 33 balls. Both players led their side to an easy victory by standing tall and avoiding defeat. Mehedi Hasan and Nihaduzzaman were the bowlers of choice as they both took two wickets and held their opponents to an underwhelming score.

The overall performance of the CCH will be encouraging before they take on the COV in this match.

This season, COV’s hasn't gotten off to the greatest of beginnings. However, since they have lost every game, they will hope for inspiration and good fortune in their subsequent encounter against the tough Challengers.

With 32 runs before being run out, Litton Das gave the Victorians an excellent start. However, Khushdil Shah, who struck an undefeated 43 runs off 27 balls with a strike rate of 159, was the lone bright spot for the Victorians throughout the game. During their pursuit of 178 runs, no other batter could find their form and fell quickly.

The most effective of their bowlers was Tanvir Islam, who took four wickets in his 4 overs. He contributed to holding the Barishals to a respectable total. A good squad like the Comilla must find the appropriate form to get their season going.
