On Monday evening, February 19, Fortune Barishal and Rangpur Riderswill play match 38 of the Bangladesh Premier League 2024. Barishal is currently four points behind Rangpur Riders at the top of the standings, but both clubs are playing well. At 18:30 local time, the game gets underway at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.
Fortune Barishal is currently one victory away from securing their spot in the top four, but the matchup with the team at the top of the table will be extremely difficult. Barishal has previously defeated Rangpur in this campaign, so they have plenty of confidence.
Since losing to the Khulna Tigers in Match 9, their second loss of the competition, the Rangpur Riders have won all of their games. In their first game, they also fell to Fortune Barishal, but overall, the team is playing at a far better level these days.
Fortune Barishal vs Rangpur Riders Team Preview & Squads
Fortune Barishal
The addition of Kyle Mayers to Fortune Barishal’s top order has bolstered the team as a whole. Mayers is a player that consistently dominates in every format. We anticipate the same starting lineup for this match because the team management has generally been quite consistent in their choices.
Although Tamim Iqbal, the captain, has not been at his best this season in terms of big scores, just three batsmen have scored more runs overall in the competition. In Match 35 against Sylhet Strikers, Kyle Mayers, a potent left-hander who has hit 13 half-centuries in his T20 career, scored six boundaries.
Angelo Perera was bowled out by South African left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj on Saturday. Maharaj is a very economical bowler in all forms of cricket. After taking three wickets in the previous two games, 27-year-old right-arm medium-fast bowler Mohammad Saifuddin only claimed one in the most recent match.

Rangpur Riders
The lone change for Rangpur Riders in the most recent game was the return of Mahedi Hasan in place of Shamim Hossain. In an attempt to carry over their impressive form into the knockout stages, we anticipate that the Riders will stick with the same lineup for this game.
Shakib Al Hasan is a left-handed batsman who has a strike rate of 171.92, and he scored eight boundaries in the most recent game. In the last match, Rony Talukdar, the opener, struck two fours and two sixes at the top of the order against Chattogram Challengers. He will want to get the team off to a good start in this one.
In the most recent game, Josh Brown, Tanzid Hasan, and Shykat Ali were all removed by tall right-arm fast-medium bowler Dwaine Pretorius thanks to an outstanding performance. Against Chattogram Challengers, off-spinner Mahedi Hasan, who has been incredibly reliable in BPL 2024, took two wickets in three balls.
