Comilla Victorians, however, are second in the BPL table with nine points after seven matches (four wins, two defeats and a no result). Their match against Minister Group Dhaka on Friday was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain.
And they lost to Fortune Barishal by two wickets yesterday in a top-of-the-table showdown. Barisal have 13 points from nine matches with six wins, two defeats and one no result.
Sylhet Sunrisers, on the other hand, have won one match this season (vs Minister Group Dhaka) and lost six. Their match against Fortune Barishal on Friday was abandoned due to rain. With only three points from eight matches, they are on the brink of elimination.
They even tried changing the leadership, with Ravi Bopara replacing Mosaddek Hossain, before their second leg against Fortune Barishal. But they still lost the match by 12 runs. The match itself witnessed Sunrisers coping a five-run penalty after skipper Bopara was 'caught' tampering with the ball.
