The third match of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2022 has the Comila Victorians (COV) taking on the Sylhet Sunrisers (SYL) at the Sher-E-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka on Saturday.

The Comilla Victorians are one of the teams to beat this season, at least on paper. They boast a good blend of youth and experience, with Faf du Plessis headlining their batting unit. However, they face a similarly strong Sylhet side who have the likes of Colin Ingram and Lendl Simmons. Although both teams look evenly-matched, the Victorians will start as the favorites in what promises to be a cracking game in Dhaka.
