Chattogram Challengers and Comilla Victorians are set to lock horns in Match No.13 of the Bangabandhu BPL 2022 on Monday, January 31, at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.
The Challengers, led by Naeem Islam, are placed atop the points table with six points from five matches and a net run rate of 0.497. They will go into their next game off a 16-run win over the Mosaddek Hossain-led Sylhet Sunrisers on Saturday.
After being put in to bat first, the Challengers amassed a massive score of 202-5. Will Jacks starred with a 19-ball-52. Ben Howell also played a handy 21-ball knock of 41. After that, the Challengers restricted the Sunrisers to 186-6.

Mahmudul Hasan Joy's 35-ball 48 took the Victorians to 158 against Fortune Barishal. Karim Janat also chipped in with an important 29 in the death overs. From there on, Nahidul Islam bowled a spell of 4-1-5-3 to help the Victorians bowl Barishal out for 95.
