Nurul Hasan is right behind with 198 runs in 8 matches at an average of 39.60 and 144 strikeouts. Although Babar was rested in the last game, this one will probably feature the star batter.

Shakib Al Hasan (69 off 31 balls) and Mahedi Hasan (60 off 36 balls) scored some crucial runs in the last game against Khulna, which would make Rangpur Riders very happy. The batting lineup will feel more confident as they prepare for the postseason as a result.
