Team Previews
Durbar Rajshahi Preview
Durbar Rajshahi enters this match on the back of a disappointing loss to Chittagong Kings by a huge margin of 111 runs. Their bowling unit struggled to contain runs, leaking 191 in 20 overs. Despite standout performances from Taskin Ahmed and Mohor Sheikh, the rest of the attack faltered.
Their batting lineup also failed miserably, managing only 80 runs in 14.2 overs. Anamul Haque was their top scorer with a modest 21 runs, while no other batter provided resistance.
To bounce back, Rajshahi needs improved performances from players like Ryan Burl, Taskin Ahmed, and Mohammad Haris. Their lack of consistency remains a concern.
Rangpur Riders Preview
Rangpur Riders have momentum on their side after defeating Chittagong Kings by 33 runs in their last match. Despite a below-par batting performance, with Khushdil Shah scoring a blistering 59 off 28 balls, their bowlers delivered.
Akif Javed’s four-wicket haul and Khushdil Shah’s all-around performance were instrumental in defending 164 runs. With solid contributions from players like Iftikhar Ahmed and Rakibul Hasan, Rangpur Riders are strong contenders for this clash.
