RR vs KT Team Previews

Rangpur Riders

Rangpur Riders are in magnificent form in the BPL this year. They have played six games so far and have won them all. They have 12 points and are six points clear of the next team in the points table. Their net run rate is +1.732. Rangpur played a thriller in their last game against Fortune Barishal.

They chased down a massive total of 197 runs set by Fortune Barishal and reached it on the last ball of the game. The Rangpur skipper hit a flurry of boundaries and sixes towards the fag end of the innings to take Rangpur to a win that looked far away at one stage.

The Rangpur batting order is in terrific touch, as they proved in the last game. The way their middle order held together in the previous match speaks volumes about their character. Saif Hassan will lead the Rangpur batting effort in this game. In his last nine games, he has scored 262 runs with an average of 37.43.

Rangpur also has Alex Hales playing for them, who has scored 218 runs in his last six games with an average of 54.5 and a strike rate of 155.71. The Rangpur bowling effort will be led by Mahedi Hasan, who has picked up 15 wickets from his last ten games with a strike rate of 12.

Khulna Tigers are going into this game on the back of two defeats against Rajshahi and Strikers. This is the first time these two teams are playing against each other in this year's BPL. Khulna Tigers had to endure a close loss to Sylhet Strikers in their last outing, even though they made a spirited effort to chase down the Sylhet total.

Afif Hossain will lead the Khulna batting effort in this game. He has scored 207 runs in his last nine games with an average of 25.88 and a strike rate of 127.77. Mahidul Islam Ankon has scored 137 runs in his previous four games with an average of 45.67 and a super strike rate of 192.95.

RR vs KT Toss Prediction

So far, 54 domestic T20 games have been played at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. The teams batting first have won 24 games, while the teams chasing a target have won 30. This indicates that the pitch will hold firm until the end of the game, and spinners might not succeed in creating mayhem towards the end of the match. So, the captain winning the coin flip might prefer to chase a target.

Pitch and Conditions

The Sylhet wicket is a good wicket to bat on. The surface is likely to hold firm for the entire duration of the game. Bowlers will be required to work hard to get wickets on this track. It might be a better idea to chase a target here. Spinners might enjoy the conditions better than the pacers. We are expecting clear weather for this encounter.

The temperature during the game will be close to 21 degrees, and dry conditions are expected.

RR vs KT Betting Tips

It will take a brave man to bet against Rangpur Riders in this form. The entire middle order contributed to the score while chasing a massive target in their last game, and they succeeded. On the other hand, the Khulna Tigers will feel a little down after losing a couple of games.

Overall, the Rangpur Riders will be favorites, to make it seven in a row in this contest.

Bet on Rangpur Riders to win.
