Durdanto Dhaka vs Rangpur Riders Match Analysis

Rangpur Riders and Durdanto Dhaka will play at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Recent BPL games have been extremely low-scoring, and despite fielding a star-studded squad, the Riders are finding it difficult to score well.

In their last match at this venue against Khulna Tigers, they lost half their side for just 74 runs while trailing a 161-run target. When it comes to batting, Durdanto Dhaka hasn’t performed any better.

Following a strong start to the season, Dhaka’s last game saw them finish with 136 for 8, batting first against Chattogram Challengers. None of their top four batsmen scored more than ten runs, and they lost four wickets for thirty-three runs.

Riders’ captain Nurul Hasan is likely to be worried because, in the last game, they were unable to pursue 161. Rangpur Riders were a major disappointment, even with players such as Shakib Al Hasan, Brandon King, and Babar Azam in their lineup.

Durdanto Dhaka vs Rangpur Riders Team Preview & Squads

Durdanto Dhaka

Durdanto Dhaka must act fast to correct the situation and restore order to their top leadership. In their season-opening match, Mohammad Naim and Danushka Gunathilaka combined for 101 runs.

Nevertheless, Dhaka lost more wickets and completed the mark in the 20th Over after such a partnership while chasing a 144-run target. This gives rise to grave concerns regarding the Dhaka middle-order.

Lasith Croopsulle was dropped to number 7 in the following game after failing to get traction at number 3 in that particular match. Along with Irfan Sukkur, he hit 46 off 31 balls to establish a 73-run partnership for the fifth wicket.

Alex Ross at positions four and five and captain Mosaddek Hossain are two more important middle-order players. Batting all-rounder Chaturanga de Silva comes in at number eight in a very deep batting lineup.

There are numerous bowling choices with a few active players. Taskin Ahmed, Usman Qadir, and Shoriful Islam will be the main wicket-takers to be wary of. Arafat Sunny and Chaturanga de Silva, two of their left-arm orthodox bowlers, will be crucial on this pitch.

Rangpur Riders

During their previous visit to this location, Rangpur Riders were thoroughly outclassed in the batting department. Even with Muhammad Nabi hitting 50 off 30 balls at number five, they were unable to cross the finish line and lost by 28 runs.

Back-to-back matches saw a batting collapse for the Riders. After falling behind by six wickets for forty-nine runs in their second Twenty20 match of the season, the Riders rallied behind Babar Azam and Azmatullah Omarzai.

Riders were able to chase down a target of 121 runs thanks to an undefeated partnership of 86 runs between the two for the seventh wicket. Nevertheless, in the previous game in Sylhet, when they were chasing 161 runs, neither of these two batters could get going.

The top three players, Rony Talukdar, Babar Azam, and Brandon King, must settle into a rhythm and begin hitting the Riders with some serious blows. Particularly, Brandon King has failed to even get a start, recording 0 runs in his last 3 innings.

In the previous game, they included Shakib Al Hasan, but they batted him at number eight. Considering King’s current form, we believe Shakib ought to move up to the third position on the list. 

The Riders’ captain, Nurul Hasan, is another important player whose play has suffered. While there are some talented batsmen in this batting order, none of them are currently consistent or in good form.

The three most important bowlers on this team will be Hasan Mahmud, Shakib Al Hasan, and Mahedi Hasan. Another strong bowler, Hasan Murad, performed admirably in the first two games before being dropped in the third.

Durdanto Dhaka vs Rangpur Riders outfield report 

Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Sylhet

In 19 of the 34 games played at this location, teams that bowled first prevailed. In the Riders’ most recent encounter, they also chose to bowl. But, given both teams’ present batting records, we believe it would be wiser for them to bat first and use their dependable and effective bowlers to defend a total.

On the day of the match, the weather in Sylhet will clear up with sporadic clouds and a high of 21 degrees Celsius.

The pitch is well-balanced, offering considerable assistance to the bowlers. The pacers are moving off the pitch, and the surface can also assist the spinners. Before they can start making fast runs, batters must settle on the crease.
