Bangladesh Premier League (BPL 2018-19): Match 39, Dhaka Dynamites vs Comilla Victorians, Dream11 Prediction, Playing XI Updates & Fantasy Cricket Tips - February 1, 2019

With only four more matches left in the league stage of the BPL 2019, it has come down to the wire for Dhaka Dynamites, who started the season in terrific fashion with four straight wins, but have now slumped to a position where they have to win one or both of their matches to just make it to the play-offs.

While they have the team to achieve the target, they face a formidable Comilla Victorians side that has been ruthless over the past few matches with Evin Lewis scoring a brilliant hundred against Khulna a few days ago.

Comilla have already been assured of a place in the top four but a top two finish would certainly be in their radar. With a lot to play for on Friday, this match is sure to be cracker of a game for all of us to witness.

Playing XI Updates

Dhaka Dynamites:

The Dynamites were undone by Cameron Delport's all-round show as they lost agonizingly to the Vikings in their previous game. No changes are expected from Dhaka with only better performances for their local players on the agenda currently.

Mizanur Rahman was unlucky to be run-out while Nurul Hasan could be promoted to the top of the order with his abilities being wasted down at number seven and eight.

Possible XI: Narine, Nurul(WK), Talukdar, Shakib (C), Pollard, Russell, Mizanur, Rubel, Birch, Hom and Mahmudul.

Comilla Victorians:

After a good win over the Vikings, Lewis could be left out after the West Indian couldn't bat due to an injury he sustained while fielding.

This should see the return of Liam Dawson to the side with Anamul and Tamim opening the batting for them. Thisara Perera and Shahid Afridi have been in good form as well and will be key for the Victorians in the death overs.

Possible XI: Tamim, Anamul(WK), Imrul(C), Shamsur, Dawson, Afridi, Perera, Wahab, Ziaur, Saifuddin and Mahedi Hasan.

Fantasy Tips and Suggestions

Wicket-keeper: Anamul Haque is the preferred choice with his batting position being the key factor for his selection. Both Haque and Nurul Hasan are great with the bat but with the Dhaka keeper batting deep in the order, he wouldn't be able to do much damage.

Batsmen: Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes and Rony Talukdar are the ideal set of batsmen to have in your fantasy teams. All three of them are in good form with Tamim also scoring an unbeaten 54 in his previous game against Khulna Titans. Kieron Pollard could also be a handy option to slot in for Rony Talukdar.

All-rounders: With as many as six credible all-rounders on offer, it is crucial to pick the ones who are actually contributing with both and ball. In this scenario, its the three Dhaka all-rounders around whom the whole team revolves.

Their twelve overs are treated very carefully and have often yielded wickets. Shahid Afridi can also replace either of them to obtain balance in the side.

Bowlers: Andrew Birch wasn't quite effective against the Chittagong Vikings but should be back to his best against the Victorians.

He is one to keep an eye on along with the likes of Mohammad Saifuddin and Rubel Hossain. Mahedi Hasan and Shuvagata Hom are also great options to go for in the fantasy teams

Captain: Shakib Al Hasan has been the best player in the league so far with 267 runs and 17 wickets to his name. Alongside Tamim Iqbal, Shakib is one of the most ideal candidates for captain. Other options also include Sunil Narine and Andre Russell.

Fantasy Suggestion #1: Anamul Haque (WK), Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Rony Talukdar, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shakib Al Hasan, Rubel Hossain, Andrew Birch, Mahedi Hasan and Mohammad Saifuddin. Captain: Shakib Al Hasan.

Fantasy Suggestion #2: Anamul Haque (WK), Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Kieron Pollard, Shahid Afridi, Sunil Narine, Shakib Al Hasan, Wahab Riaz, Andrew Birch, Shuvagata Hom and Mohammad Saifuddin. Captain: Tamim Iqbal.
