CAV VS STS PREVIEW
The Comilla Victorians and the Sylhet Sunrisers will face each other in the first match of the Bangladesh Premier League 2022 season. The Comilla Victorians are the stage favourites, and by a wide margin, according to cricket betting services. Let’s take a look at both sides to see if the odds are justified.
Comilla Victorians vs Sylhet Sunrisers BPL 2022 match prediction and cricket betting tips. On the 22nd of January 2022, the match will be held in the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.
Comilla Victorians
Comilla Victorians have also used a wise tactic of filling up their batting with international quality before adding the top Bangladeshi bowling talent to balance the team. Of course, not all of the top batsmen are based in the United States, but batting is usually the weak link in most BPL teams, so bolstering it is a sensible idea.
The batting lineup is Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali, Cameron Delport, and Liton Das. If they grow adjusted to the batting surfaces, they should be able to supply the Comilla Warriors with the runs they require in most matches. Moeen Ali is the most threatening batter in this team, and his ability to attack spin from the first ball he sees will be a huge plus.
The Comilla Victorians will be led by Mustafizur Rahman and Sunil Narine in the bowling attack. Mustafizur is a world-class player on any court, but he is particularly difficult to hit on the sluggish Bangladeshi surfaces. Sunil Narine’s wicket-taking ability has waned, but he can still keep the runs down, and his batting ability is an added bonus.
A lot will hinge on local players finding a place in the starting eleven, and that is where the Comilla Victorians will look for new talent to step forward.
Sylhet Sunrisers
By looking at their roster, the Sylhet Sunrisers appear to be the weakest team in the BPL 2022. Of course, teams may consistently beat expectations in T20 cricket, but it’s clear to see why they’re the underdog in this match even before either team has faced a ball.
Lendl Simmons and Colin Ingram are the two leading batsmen for the Sylhet Sunrisers. Both of them have the potential to be disruptive, but they are also towards the end of their careers rather than the beginning. They have lengthier periods of bad performance than they did in their heyday, and the Sylhet Sunrisers appear to be willing to take that risk. They are, of course, still outstanding batsmen when they are at their best.
After these two, there appears to be a drop in quality, and we are concerned that the batting lineup’s depth will not be sufficient to compete in most matches. Mohammad Mithun and Anamul Haque are the two best Bangladeshi batsmen in the squad, however neither of them is highly regarded by us.
The bowling team will include Al Amin Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, and Kesrick Williams. These are three excellent bowlers, but Taskin, in particular, may be rather costly. The Sylhet Sunrisers will be hoping that the slow bowlers emerge from their pool of local players, while the fast bowlers are dealt with.
This squad’s balance and makeup do not appeal to us.
Pitch Conditions
The conditions in Dhaka have been a little slower than predicted, and batting has been a little more difficult than expected. In the first match, we observed 126 being difficult to catch, and it is likely to be the pattern for the remainder of the matches as well. As the batsmen get adjusted to the pace of the pitch, the scores may rise a little, but batting will remain difficult.
In Dhaka, a score of 140-150 has the ability to win a match.
Betting Tips
This match will be won by the Comilla Victorians, and we will bet on them. They have a better batting lineup and a bowling lineup that is comparable to the Sylhet Sunrisers (if not netter). We believe the Sylhet Sunrisers made a couple of errors in their squad selection, which will show up in the playing eleven they field.
The Comilla Victorians are a good bet to win.
