Rangpur Riders

Babar Azam (157 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 113) and Azmatullah Omarzai (125 runs in 5 innings at 152) are your best bets if you’re looking for Rangpur batters to select. They have been quite reliable, therefore they’re probably going to keep up their wonderful work.

Mahedi Hasan has been the standout performer for the bowling side, which has also been performing admirably. The right-arm off-break bowler, who has already claimed 7 wickets at an economy of 6.13 in 5 innings, is loving bowling on these slow tracks. 

The always-impressive Hasan Mahmud, who has six wickets in five innings at an economy of 7.56, is another bowler worth supporting. 

This season, Mohammad Nabi has performed admirably in the middle overs, averaging less than six runs per over.
