It is match No. 41 of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2016 as Comilla Victorians take on Rangpur Riders. The match is scheduled to be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, Dhaka. The live streaming of the match is available online on SONY LIV, and channel9.com in Bangladesh. Also, the live telecast of the match is available on Sony SIX, and Sony SIX HD; and Channel9. This is a crucial match for the Rangpur Riders, who play their last group stage match to earn some last moment points to elevate among the top four while for Victorians, it will be a victory of pride.
The Victorians, champions of the previous season of the tournament, have been disappointing compared to the team strength and experience they have. Skipper Mashrafe Morataza has been consistent with wickets and has led the side from the front but the team has not been up to the mark, ending up in back to back defeats. They have names like Imrul Kayes, Ahmed Shehzad, Marlon Samuels in the squad but things did not fall into place properly for them. Rashid Khan has been another consistent player bagging wickets regularly.

As for the Riders, Veteran Shahid Afridi has been a star with the ball. Likes of Soumya Sarkar, Mohammad Shahzad, Mohammad Mithun do it for them with the bat. Apart from Afridi, there are Anwar Ali and Sohag Gazi. The team will look to bag their seventh win in the series and end at No. 2 in the table.
