Rajshahi Kings win the toss and elect bat first

Rajshahi Kings have won the toss and elected to bat first against Comilla Victorians.

Victorians is looking to extend their winning run when they face Rajshahi Kings in the 27th fixture of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League 2017.

The match started on Saturday at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. Live action will begin at 1:00pm local time.

Victorians’ Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes and Jos Buttler form the core of the team’s batting and it will be crucial that at least one of them goes on to score big.

Shoaib Malik got a fifty last time against Dhaka Dynamites and this will make him more confident going into this game.

Hasan Ali claimed a five-fer and broke the backbone of the Dynamites with his fiery spell and the pacer will be the key for the Victorians here.

Rashid Khan has also bowled well consistently and he will be the team’s best spin option.

Kings while their top-order batting will depend mainly on the opening pair of Dwayne Smith and Mominul Haque, middle-order relies heavily on Mushfiqur Rahim.

Smith struck 62 in his very first innings of the season and Rahim too hit a fifty against Khulna Titans.

Mohammad Sami took three wickets in that game and he along with James Franklin will be the ones to look out for in this pace attack.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz has the best bowling figures in the team and the off-spinner is expected to do well on this spin-friendly track.
