NES vs RR Betting Tips
Highest opening partnership - Rangpur Riders
Rangpur Riders are likely to open their batting with Litton Das and Kyle Mayers. They are both excellent batsmen and will likely give them a good start in this match. On the other hand, the Noakhali Express is yet to find a stable combination.
Dawid Malan to score over 23.5 runs
Dawid Malan is in excellent form and has an average of 49.00 across 5 innings. He has scored at least 24 runs in 4 of those innings, including two half-centuries, and we are backing him to play a good knock.

NE vs RR Team Previews
Noakhali Express
One of the four new teams this season, the Noakhali Express, is struggling at the moment. The team has lost each of the six matches played so far and is languishing at the bottom of the points table. Another defeat here and they will be staring at an elimination from the tournament.
Shahadat Hossain and Soumya Sarkar have the Noakhali Express a strong start in the previous match and will hope to do the same in this game as well. However, the batting, especially from the middle order, hasn’t been the best, and that has been one of the main reasons for the team’s poor run.
The likes of Maaz Sadaqat, Mohammad Nabi, and Jaker Ali have got some decent starts but haven’t been able to convert them into match-winning knocks. Mahidul Islam Ankon is the leading run-scorer for the team, and a lot will depend on how he bats.
The bowlers, especially the seamers, have performed better. Hasan Mahmud and Mehedi Hasan Rana have picked up 8 wickets each and will hope to make early inroads in the opposition batting. Zahir Khan continues to lead the spin department, but he will need better support at the other end.
Noakhali Express Expected Playing 11
Shahadat Hossain, Soumya Sarkar, Maaz Sadaqat, Mahidul Islam Ankon (WK), Jaker Ali, Mohammad Nabi, Haider Ali (C), Hasan Mahmud, Zahir Khan, Abu Jayed, Mehedi Hasan Rana

Rangpur Riders
With 4 wins in 5 matches, the Rangpur Riders have been among the most consistent teams this year, and find themselves in second place on the points table. They will hope to continue playing well and book a place in the playoffs.
The Rangpur Riders have one of the strongest batting line-ups in the league. Kyle Mayers and Litton Das are likely to reprise their role at the top of the order. The duo has given Rangpur some good starts this year and will look to do the same in this match as well.
Dawid Malan has been brilliant so far, scoring two half-centuries, and is the leading run-scorer for the team. He, along with Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, and Khushdil Shah, forms a strong middle order.
Coming to the bowling, Mustafizur Rahman will lead the attack with the new ball. He has picked up 9 wickets so far, and will be joined by Akif Javed at the other end. The spin department will be led by Rakibul Hasan and Aliss Al Islam.
Rangpur Riders Expected Playing 11
Litton Das, Towhid Hridoy, Kyle Mayers, Dawid Malan, Mahmudullah, Khushdil Shah Nurul Hasan (C & WK), Aliss Al Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Rakibul Hasan, Akif Javed
NE vs RR Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
We are expecting a balanced pitch for this match. The batsmen need to be a bit careful while facing the new ball, as there could be some movement off the seam. However, once the batsmen settle down, they will be able to play their shots with ease. A score of around 170 could be a competitive score at this venue.
The weather is expected to be clear with chilly temperatures. The dew could play an important role.
NE vs RR: Who Will Win?
We are backing the Rangpur Riders to win this match. They have been clinical this season and have done well with the bat and the ball. On the other hand, the Noakhali Express has struggled on all fronts and will find it difficult to bounce back.
Bet on Rangpur Riders to win.
