DR vs RR Team Previews

Durbar Rajshahi

Durbar Rajshahi has been hasn’t been in the best of forms this year and have managed to win only 3 of their 9 matches so far.

Anamul Haque has been in brilliant form with the bat and is the leading run-scorer for the season so far. He has scored 345 runs in 9 innings at an average of 49.28 and remains the key batsman for the team. Jishan Alam and Mohammad Haris will open the batting for the team in this match.

While they have scored a few runs here and there, the team will need them to be more consistent. In a bit of sour news, Ryan Burl, who has played some good knocks, injured himself in the previous game and might not be available for this match.

Coming to the bowlers, other than Taskin Ahmed, none of the bowlers have been able to make much of an impact. Taskin is the leading wicket-taker for the tournament with 20 wickets but has received very little support from Miguel Cummins and Mohor Sheikh.

The spinners have struggled as well with Sunzamul Islam managing to pick only 4 wickets.

Durbar Rajshahi Expected Playing 11

Rangpur Riders

The Rangpur Riders have by far been the most consistent team this season and have won each of their 8 matches. They are sitting comfortably at the top of the table and a win here will make them the first team to qualify for the playoffs.

The Riders’ latest win came against the Chittagong Kings, whom they defeated by 33 runs. The Rangpur Riders have a very strong middle order with batsmen like Saif Hassan, Khushdil Shah, and Nurul Hasan. Khushdil and Saif have each scored two half-centuries so far and appear to be in fine form.

However, the opening pair hasn’t been consistent and that could be a potential weakness for the team. Tawfique Khan and Steven Taylor are both averaging under 20 runs and the team will need them to give a strong start going ahead.

The bowlers have contributed equally to the team’s success. Khushdil Shah is once again the star with the ball and has picked up 11 wickets. Akif Javed bowled a brilliant spell in the last match to pick up 4 wickets and is the leading wicket-taker for the team.

They will be joined by Mohammad Saifuddin in the pace department. Nahid Rana is the team’s most successful spinner with 9 wickets against his name.

DR vs RR Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at Chattogram is excellent to bat on and has hosted some high-scoring matches this season. The average first-inning score here is around 180 runs but the team batting first will look to score over 200 runs.

The seamers will get some help when the ball is new, while the spinners will get some grip in the second half. However, they will need to bowl a tight line and length as any loose deliveries will be dispatched.

The weather will remain clear with temperatures of over 25 degrees.
