RW vs RR Team Previews

Rajshahi Warriors

The Rajshahi Warriors have won 4 of the 6 matches played so far, and find themselves in 4th place on the points table. They lost their latest fixture against the Chattogram Royals in a last-ball thriller and will be eager to turn things around in this match.

The Rajshahi Warriors are likely to continue with the opening pair of Muhammad Waseem and Tanzid Hasan. The latter hasn’t been in the best of form and is averaging under 15 runs after 6 innings. The team will need him to play a big knock if they want to win here.

A lot will depend on Najmul Hossain Shanto, who is the team’s leading run-scorer this season. While Rajshahi does have a couple of strong middle-order batsmen in Akbar Ali and Mushfiqur Rahim, they seem a bit lacking when it comes to depth in the batting line-up.

There are a couple of all-rounders, including Ryan Burl, but they are yet to make an impact with the bat. Coming to the bowling, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Ripon Mondol, and Binura Fernando form a strong pace department and have picked up 21 wickets between them.

The spin department will be led by SM Meherob and Sandeep Lamichhane.

Rajshahi Warriors Expected Playing 11

Muhammad Waseem, Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto (C), Mushfiqur Rahim (WK), Ryan Burl, Akbar Ali, Ripon Mondol, Sandeep Lamichhane, Binura Fernando, SM Meherob, Tanzim Hasan Sakib

Rangpur Riders

Just like their opponents, the Rangpur Riders have won 4 of the 6 games played so far. However, they have a better NRR compared to the Rajshahi Warriors and are second on the points table.

The Rangpur Riders will bank on Dawid Malan and Litton Das to give them a strong start in this match. Malan has been in excellent form and has scored a couple of half-centuries in his 6 outings. The middle order is pretty experienced, thanks to the presence of Towhid Hridoy, Nurul Hasan, and Khushdil Shah, while the two all-rounders, Iftikhar Ahmed and Mahmudullah, add depth to the batting.

Mustafizur Rahman has been in excellent form with the ball in the last few matches and will continue to lead the attack with the new ball. He is likely to be joined by Mrittunjoy Chowdhury and Nahid Rana in the pace department, while Sufiyan Muqeem will lead the spin attack.

Rangpur Riders Expected Playing 11

Litton Das, Dawid Malan, Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Khushdil Shah, Nurul Hasan (C & WK), Iftikhar Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Sufiyan Muqeem, Nahid Rana, Mrittunjoy Chowdhury

RW vs RR Toss Prediction

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

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch is expected to be a bit on the drier side. The venue has hosted plenty of matches over the last couple of weeks, and there are a lot of spike marks and rough patches. Batting here isn’t the easiest, but once the batsmen settle down, they will be able to go after the bowlers. The team batting first will look to score at least 160-170 runs.

The weather is likely to remain clear with plenty of sunshine and pleasant temperatures.

RW vs RR: Who Will Win?

Both teams have had similar journeys in the BPL so far, and there is little separating them in terms of form. Nevertheless, we feel that the Rajshahi Warriors have a slight edge here thanks to a stronger pace department and a balanced bowling unit.

Bet on Rajshahi Warriors to win.
