Betting Tips

Dafabet review India

Mohammad Naim to score more than 22.5 runs

1.85

The left-handed opening batter is a strong contender to make this bet come true. The Bangladeshi batter has an impressive list of milestones in his 444 BPL runs this season. Naim has one century and three half-centuries in 2025.

Khulna Tigers to have the most fours in the match

1.68

The away side will be looking to put the Riders under pressure with boundaries. They should be a strong bet to score the most boundaries between the sides. They hit 15 boundary fours when they played against the Riders in Mirpur. Rangpur Riders managed 12 boundary fours in the same match.

Anything can happen on the day in a knockout game. Rangpur Riders ended higher on the table through a mightily impressive first eight games, but have struggled to string results together in their most recent performances. They have lost four games on the bounce. The Khulna Tigers look to be peaking at the important end of the tournament.

Rangpur Riders and Khulna Tigers have met twice this season. Each team has won one game. Khulna won the previous match between them and Rangpur at Mirpur by 46 runs. The teams played each other twice last season. Both teams claimed a victory each.

RR vs KT Team Previews

Rangpur Riders

The top order trio of Tawfique Khan, Soumya Sarkar and Saif Hassan bring stability and assurance of an aggressive start to the powerplay. All three know how to shift through the gears as every different situation arises.

Sarkar hit a whirlwind 74 runs off 48 balls against Khulna Tigers in his previous match. Middle-order power comes from Pakistani Iftikhar Ahmed. Ahmed is a T20 specialist known for his ability to finish games with the bat and chip in with spin bowling. He has over 650 BPL runs and a half-century against Chittagong Kings recently.

Bangladeshi all-rounder Mahedi Hasan provides balance with bat and ball. The 30-year-old has 914 runs and 73 wickets in his BPL career.

Leading the team is Nurul Hasan as both the wicketkeeper and a key middle order batter. Mohammad Saifuddin adds further all-round depth with his seam bowling and lower order hitting. The Bangladeshi all-rounder has 325 runs and 84 wickets in the BPL.

Among the emerging talents, Azizul Hakim and Rakibul Hasan will look to make an impact. Rakibul’s left-arm spin offers a strategic option on this slower surface in Mirpur. The pace attack features Akif Javed and Nahid Rana.

Both pacers are capable of generating frightening speeds to troubling batters. Left-arm pacer Javed has 19 wickets in his ten previous BPL matches. Fast bowler Rana has a four-wicket haul in the 2025 BPL.

  • Iftikhar Ahmed
  • Mahedi Hasan
  • Nurul Hasan (c) (wk)

  • Azizul Hakim

Khulna Tigers

The Khulna Tigers have experienced Bangladeshi all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz as their captain. Since moving into the opening batting position, Miraz has become the team’s jack of all trades and most valuable player.

The Khulna captain top-scored with 74 runs unbeaten against Dhaka. Mohammad Naim is the other opening batter with a wealth of experience behind him. Afif Hossain brings aggressive intent in the middle orders.

Australian pair of Alex Ross and William Bosisto add international flair to strengthen the middle order with solidity and power. The technically sound Ross has four centuries across his BPL stints. Bosisto has exactly 400 runs in T20s.

The all-rounder duo of Mohammad Nawaz and Ziaur Rahman ensures depth in both departments. Nawaz’s left-arm spin and power-hitting will be pivotal. He has 492 runs and 27 wickets in the BPL. Local cricketer Ziaur Rahman offers experience and handy seam bowling. His bowling has brought him 25 BPL wickets.

Wicketkeeper Mahidul Islam Ankon provides a reliable presence behind the stumps and a source of late order runs. The spin department looks strong with Nasum Ahmed as a proven performer in T20s. He is three wickets short of 100 T20 wickets.

The pace attack is spearheaded by Hasan Mahmud and young gun Musfik Hasan. Upcoming star Mahmud put in a stellar bowling effort with two for five in four overs against Dhaka Capitals in his previous game.

Khulna Tigers Expected Playing 11

  • Mehidy Hasan Miraz (c)
  • Mohammad Naim
  • Afif Hossain
  • Alex Ross
  • William Bosisto

RR vs KT Toss Prediction

All four of the knockout matches hosted at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in the 2024 BPL were won by the side chasing. Both captains may have picked up on the trend and would be eager to bat second.

Pitch and Conditions

The iconic Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur will provide typical subcontinental conditions in this T20. The match will be played as a day game under the sun, meaning the dryness of the surface could make it spin-friendly.

The pitch may be challenging for batters at times because of the effectiveness of spin. The batters who can adapt to the slower and turning conditions could be the game-changers. Chattogram Challengers scored 135 for nine in 20 overs in the first innings of last year’s Eliminator.

The players will have come to know what weather conditions to expect in Mirpur by now. There is no chance of rain for this Eliminator. Overall, the weather will be mostly sunny, hot and humid.

RR vs KT Betting Tips

Current form may play an important role in this BPL knockout game. The Rangpur Riders were arguably the team to beat for the largest part of the 2025 BPL. Their performances have taken a sharp downward spiral before the end of the league stage. Khulna Tigers are in winning form. They also won the league encounter against Rangpur at Mirpur.

The Tigers will be the favorites for this game despite a lower finishing position in the league stages.

Bet on Khulna Tigers to win this match.
