Riding on a stunning 81 off 62 not out by Imrul Kayes, and 53 off 37 by Liton Das, Comilla Victorians beat the Chattogram Challengers by a big margin of nine wickets under the DL Method on Thursday in Mirpur and backed to the winning-streak after losing the previous match to Minister Group Dhaka.

For the Victorians, Mustafizur Rahman bagged five wickets conceding 27 runs in four overs— his best in this edition of BPL, and It was the best first five-for of this BPL as well.

BPL 2022: Competition among six teams gets heated up in Phase 2

As a result, more runs are predicted in the upcoming second phase fixtures.
