FBA vs RRR Team Previews
Barisal Bulls
After a slight dip in form, Fortune Barishal seems to have managed to turn things around in the last week by winning 3 consecutive matches. The team is currently sitting 3rd on the points table and a win here will most likely see them through to the playoffs.
Fortune Barishal has a strong batting line-up and will depend on it to deliver the goods yet again. Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim are the leading run-getters for the team, scoring 292 runs each. They have been supported well by Soumya Sarkar, Mahmudullah, and Shoaib Malik.
The team also has a couple of solid all-rounders in the form of Kyle Mayers and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. The bowling has been a bit inconsistent and that is something that is something they would like to work on. Khaled Ahmed is the leading wicket-taker with 10 wickets and will be joined in the spin attack by Obed McCoy, Mayers, and Mohammad Saifuddin.
Keshav Maharaj, who has joined the team since the last couple of matches, has looked a bit rusty.

Tamim Iqbal, Tom Banton, Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan, Keshav Maharaj, Kyle Mayers, Kamrul Islam Rabbi, Obed McCoy, Mohammad Saifuddin.
Rangpur Rangers
The Rangpur Riders are the most consistent team this season. The team defeated the Chattogram Challengers by a comfortable margin on Saturday and became the first franchise to qualify for the playoffs.
Much will depend on the performance of Shakib Al-Hasan and Mahedi Hasan. The duo is in red-hot form with the bat as well as the ball so far. Mahedi Hasan is 2nd on the list of top wicket-takers of the season with 15 wickets, while Shakib is close behind with 13.
Rony Talukdar and Reeza Hendricks are likely to open the batting for the team, with Brandon King following in at number 3. Nurul Hasan is another quality batsman in the middle order and is also the leading run-getter for the Riders.
While the spin attack will feature Shakib and Mahedi Hasan, the pace department will be led by Hasan Mahmud, who has picked up 11 wickets. He will be supported by Dwaine Pretorius and James Neesham.
