Team Previews
Sylhet Strikers Preview
Sylhet Strikers have had a shaky start to their campaign, losing their opening match against Rangpur Riders by 34 runs. They are currently at the bottom of the points table with one loss to their name and will look to bounce back in this return clash.
In their previous game, the Strikers restricted the Riders to 155 runs, thanks to disciplined bowling efforts from Tanzim Hasan Sakib (2/27) and Al-Amin Hossain (2/31). Spinners Reece Topley and Samiullah Shinwari also picked up one wicket each.
However, their batting lineup failed to deliver, managing only 121 runs in response. Rony Talukdar top-scored with 41 runs off 36 balls, while Jaker Ali added 24 runs, but the lack of partnerships cost them the match. Zakir Hasan and Shinwari contributed with 18 and 8 runs, respectively, but no one was able to anchor the innings.
Key Players:
- Rony Talukdar: The highest run-scorer for Sylhet, leading the charge with 41 runs in the opening game.
- Tanzim Hasan Sakib: A dependable bowler, with two wickets in the previous match.
Sylhet’s bowling unit has shown promise, but their batters need to step up to pose a serious challenge to Rangpur Riders. With a balanced mix of pace and spin, they have the potential to turn their fortunes around if their batting lineup finds its rhythm.
Rangpur Riders Preview
Rangpur Riders have started their Bangladesh Premier League 2024-25 campaign on a high, securing three wins from three matches to claim the top spot on the points table. Their latest victory came against Fortune Barishal, which they won by a commanding margin of eight wickets.

He was well-supported by Iftikhar Ahmed and Nahid Rana, who picked up 2 wickets each, while Mahedi Hasan and Akif Javed chipped in with one wicket each.
During the chase, Rangpur overcame an early setback of losing two wickets, thanks to a brilliant unbeaten partnership between Saif Hassan and Alex Hales. Hassan smashed 62 runs off 46 balls, including six boundaries and three sixes, while Hales contributed 49 runs off 41 balls with similar aggression. Their knocks ensured a comfortable chase, finishing the game in just 15 overs.
