This is the big one that every fan of the tournament has been waiting for. The Rangpur Riders have not put a foot wrong this tournament and will only need to seal the deal with one more win.
Their opposition did not manage to overcome them in the group stage. They will need to play out of their skin to secure their maiden GSL title.

Neither team needs to worry about any injury suspicions with both teams lining up at full strength.
The dry matchday conditions and history of how the subcontinental pitches play will suit both sides. Little to no rain will be part of the expectations of the day. Two of the three results in the previous T20I series in Bangladesh have gone the way of the side batting second.
Mohammad Haris has sparked to life for Pakistan in T20Is. The young wicketkeeper-batter has 244 runs in his past eight T20Is for the country. He has done that at a strike rate of nearly 170 too.
Hasan Nawaz should be raring to go after a stunning PSL season with the bat. The young gun hit 399 runs in the tournament at a strike rate of 162.20. Sahibzada Farhan has proven he knows how to perform under pressure. The opening batter hit a half-century in Qualifier one of the 2025 PSL.
When Parvez Hossain Emon graces the crease with his presence, he should have many fans eagerly anticipating him scoring runs. The opening batter hit a half-century in the third T20I of the previous T20I series against Pakistan. Tanzid Hasan is another batter who should have no mercy on the opponents after progressing to 42 runs in his previous T20I knock against Pakistan.
Salman Agha returned with over 200 runs in the most recent PSL season. Rishad Hossain should have a good relationship with this dry wicket. The leg-spinning all-rounder is likely to bear fruit with almost 50 T20I wickets.
Abbas Afridi should claim much of the glory with the new ball. The right-arm pacer has taken eight wickets in his past five T20I matches. Abrar Ahmed claimed his best PSL bowling figures in 2025. The spinner romped to four for 42 against Peshawar Zalmi.
Mustafizur Rahman should have no trouble slaying some of the T20I giants in the opposition lineup. The pace bowler has 136 T20I wickets. Tanzim Hasan Sakib should give his countryman some worthy company after taking a wicket in his previous T20I against Pakistan.
Salman Agha should be at the front and centre of this clash with his current run-scoring form in T20Is. The all-rounder has 257 runs in his past eight T20I innings. His batting average for that period was 42.83.
Abrar Ahmed should have no doubt in his mind about taking wickets in clusters in these conditions. The mystery spinner has 11 wickets in his past eight T20I performances.
Both Asian teams boast star quality in almost every aspect. Batting-wise, they feature some of the smartest T20 batters in subcontinental conditions.
The spin-bowling all-rounders will be the keys to unlocking the full potential of what the pitch has to offer. The spinners will need to manoeuvre their way around finding control on a pitch which will give them turn to work with. The clever and adjustable seamers who know how to make the new ball talk, should make your lineup.
Sahibzada Farhan has been the standout with 512 Dream11 fantasy points. Pakistani teammate Khushdil Shah has more than 450 points.
Tanzid Hasan has been revolutionary this year with 309 runs in T20Is. Both Agha Salman and Litton Das have more than 250 T20I runs.
Both Haris Rauf and Rishad Hossain have taken nine batters down this year in T20Is. All of Abrar Ahmed, Shoriful Islam and Tanzim Hasan Sakib have eight wickets each.
Tanzid Hasan is on top of this list with an astounding 21 sixes in nine innings. Hasan Nawaz and Parvez Hossain Emon have also loved sending the ball over the boundary with 16 and 14 sixes respectively.
Hasan Nawaz has been hitting the ball cleanly in T20I cricket for 2025. His strike rate is 192.37. Parvez Hossain Emon’s strike rate is at over 170 with Mohammad Haris at just under 170.
Sufiyan Muqeem only has two overs in T20Is in 2025 but has an economy rate of three. Mustafizur Rahman after more overs under the belt, has an economy rate of 4.36.
