Nikhil Chaudhary adds to the flexibility of the lineup with 496 runs and 16 wickets in the BBL for the Hobart Hurricanes. The spin-bowling all-rounders played the leading roles in the dismantling of the Dubai Capitals batters.

Rangpur Riders

Saif Hassan would have demanded more from himself in his previous innings. The opening batter shared a 49-run opening partnership with Soumya Sarkar though. Soumya Sarkar played a measured innings of 35 runs in his previous match. Rising local talent Yasir Ali provides batting backup in the middle order.

The star batter has over 1300 BPL runs. Nurul Hasan should come across as a cool, calm and collected customer behind the stumps and with the bat. The experienced wicketkeeper-batter has over 3000 T20 runs. Mahidul Islam Ankon never got a chance to bat in his previous T20 appearance. He should be eager to get out into the middle and show the worth of his 612 runs in the BPL.

Kyle Mayers’ all-round skills will be highly required after he hit 44 not out against the Amazon Warriors. Iftikhar Ahmed caused trouble of his own with the bat. The Pakistani recruit hammered 34 not out in the death overs. Afghan all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai delivered with the ball in the previous game. Omarzai ended with bowling figures of two for 13 in just over three overs.

The spin duo of Tabraiz Shamsi and Harmeet Singh will be integral in stifling the flow of runs and threatening with wickets. Together they took three wickets against Guyana. Among the pacers, Khaled Ahmed ripped through the Guyana batting lineup as well. The Bangladeshi bowler claimed four wickets to keep a firm grip on the opposition batters.

Rangpur Riders Expected Playing 11

HH vs RR Toss Prediction

The Rangpur Riders won their previous match by batting first. It may not be too big of a surprise if either team gets their way with the coin and decides to bat first in this day game.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at Providence stadium has been a haven for the spinners in this tournament. The batters have been made to pay for any errors, but those who were willing to dig in for their team have reaped the rewards. The Rangpur Riders scored 178 for three in last year’s GSL final.

The weather for the matchday looks set to be mostly clear. There will be a 22 percent chance of rain to start, but that may not have a huge impact on the game. The heat and high level of humidity will keep the players in check.

HH vs RR: Who Will Win?

Nothing beats points on the board in a short tournament that only lasts ten days. The Rangpur Riders should carry on that winning momentum into their second game and put themselves in pole position to qualify for the final early. The Hobart Hurricanes will want to challenge for the top two as well.

Bet on the Rangpur Riders to win this match.

HH vs RR win percentage stands at 53% in favor of RR.
