The young Bangladeshi is a top talent. He could make a significant score given his score of 43 against Durbar Rajshahi last time. His previous BPL innings at Mirpur was 62 not out against Fortune Barishal.
This could be a sensible bet with the quality of batters on show. Yasir Ali hit a half-century against Rangpur. Plenty of other batters got starts in the previous head-to-head with scores in the 30s and 40s.
There is a small turnaround between when the teams last met. Durbar Rajshahi are the only team to beat Rangpur Riders this season after a 24-run win. They will be looking to claim another win only a few days later. Rangpur Riders’ overall season will make them strong contenders to win this match despite the setback against Durbar Rajshahi.
The teams have met once this season. That game ended in a victory by 24 runs to Rajshahi. Rangpur Riders were unbeaten before that loss. Durbar Rajshahi have won four games and lost six games.
This BPL match between Durbar Rajshahi and Rangpur Riders is scheduled for Sunday, 26 January 2025 at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur. The games will be available via the FanCode app live-streaming in India.
Mohammad Haris and Sabbir Hossain bring aggressive intent in the powerplay. They will look to set the stage for a strong batting display before veteran batter Anamul Haque enters the frame. Hossain and Haque hit 39 runs and 34 runs respectively in their previous innings.
Zimbabwean all-rounder Ryan Burl adds firepower and versatility to the middle order. He will be keen on rotating strike often and offering handy overs of spin on a slow track. The leg-spinner was player-of-the-match against Rangpur Riders in the last match for bowling figures of four for 22 in four overs.
Yasir Ali is known for his solid technique. You can expect him to be the backbone of the batting lineup. He hit 60 runs off 32 balls against Rangpur previously. Akbar Ali is the team’s wicketkeeper and a promising young finisher with the blade.
SM Meherob’s all-round capabilities give depth to the lineup and make him a useful addition for captain Taskin Ahmed to work with.
The bowling department is spearheaded by captain Taskin Ahmed. He will be widely known for his rapid pace, but will need to show leadership skills in the field too. The fast bowler took two wickets in his last match.
Fellow fast bowler Shafiul Islam, with his wealth of experience, complements Taskin well. Shafiul Islam has 83 wickets in his nine years of BPL cricket. Mohor Sheikh is another pacer to give a fresh edge to the bowling attack. Left-arm spinner Sunzamul Islam offers control and wickets in the middle overs.
The explosive duo of Steven Taylor and Irfan Sukkur will get the game going with the bat. The American Taylor has one century and six half-centuries in T20s. Promising young batter Saif Hassan will continue the good work of the openers with positive intent to keep finding the boundary. He hit his way to 43 off 29 in his previous innings.
Leading the charge is skipper and wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan as a proven tactician and dependable finisher. His skills came to the fore with 41 runs off 26 balls against Rajshahi last time.
All-rounders Iftikhar Ahmed and Khushdil Shah add muscle in the middle overs with their ability to clear the ropes. Shah has 592 runs and 26 wickets in the BPL. Spin-bowling all-rounder Mahedi Hasan offers control with the ball and handy contributions with the bat.
The 30-year-old Bangladeshi has an impressive six half-centuries to combine with three four-wicket hauls in his local domestic T20 tournament. All three all-rounders give skipper Nurul Hasan plenty of spin options to rotate on a spinning pitch.
The pace attack is led by the experienced Mohammad Saifuddin. The constant rush of pace continues with youngsters Akif Javed and Nahid Rana. Javed took three wickets against Rajshahi in Chattogram. Adding to their bowling depth is left-arm spinner Rakibul Hasan.
Hasan is a reliable spinner in the middle overs alongside a plethora of spin options. He has over 50 T20 wickets. The Rangpur Riders could have the bowling attack that is better suited to this venue.
Durbar Rajshahi beat Rangpur Riders this season when they batted first. Conditions could also play a part in the captains wanting to bat first.
The pitch at the Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur is known for being a spin-friendly track. The slower and spin bowlers could be the key on this type of pitch. The surface tends to be slow and low, particularly in the second innings with the pitch getting even slower.
Run-scoring may appear challenging at times, but the team that can find the gaps more often should give themselves a better chance of posting a decent total. Durbar Rajshahi defended 170 for nine in 20 overs against Rangpur this year.
This match will be played in warm and moderately humid temperatures. The day leading up to this night match will be sunny with no rain.
Durbar Rajshahi will come into this game with the confidence of beating their opposition on the previous occasion. The Rangpur Riders will have the belief that a once-off result like that should not derail their season too badly. They have won every other match this season. The team from Rangpur should start as favorites for another win in an already strong season.
Bet on Rangpur Riders to win this match.
