BPL Cricket Match Prediction 2024 | Match 9 | Khulna Tigers vs Rangpur Riders – Will the KLT beat the RGR for their third consecutive win? | Jan 26

Khulna Tigers vs Rangpur Riders Match Analysis

The Bangladesh Premier League’s (BPL) 2024 second phase gets underway on Friday as Rangpur Riders and Khulna Tigers square off in Match 9. The Riders are two points behind the Tigers, who have won both of their matches thus far, having won one and lost the other during Phase 1 in Mirpur. At 14:00 local time, the match gets underway at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.

Rangpur Riders were defeated by Fortune Barishal in their first encounter but rebounded with a comfortable victory over Sylhet Strikers in their previous encounter. Although the Tigers will be formidable opponents, the Riders will be confident in their chances of making it two victories in a row.

The Khulna Tigers will travel to Sylhet full of confidence, having won the competition by 4 wickets with 10 balls remaining and by 8 wickets with 12 balls remaining. The Riders did win their most recent game, though, so Friday’s matchup won’t be simple.

Khulna Tigers vs Rangpur Riders Team Preview & Squads

Khulna Tigers

It was expected that the Khulna Tigers would go undefeated in their match against Fortune Barishal after collecting ten wickets and winning while chasing in the game’s nineteenth over. On Friday, the same starting lineup is anticipated to play.

Anamul Haque, the skipper, smashed three fours and three sixes during his unbeaten innings against Fortune Barishal. The 31-year-old has 14 50-plus scores in T20 cricket. On Monday, the left-handed Evin Lewis West Indian opener amassed 77 runs off of just 22 balls, with 53 of those runs coming from a first-wicket partnership.

In the most recent match, Oshane Thomas, a 26-year-old right-arm fast bowler with a 16-strike rate in T20 cricket, got rid of the game’s first batsman, Ibrahim Zadran. Nasum Ahmed, a slow left-arm orthodox bowler, has taken a wicket in each of the two games played so far this season, and he will have another opportunity in Sylhet.

Khulna Tigers

Anamul Haque (c), Shai Hope (wk), Evin Lewis, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Afif Hossain, Habibur Rahman Sohan, Mukidul Islam, Nahidul Islam, Faheem Ashraf, Nasum Ahmed, and Oshane Thomas.

Rangpur Riders

Babar Azam joined the Rangpur Riders team right away for their Tuesday victory over Sylhet Strikers, having missed the team’s initial match owing to international obligations. We anticipate seeing the same starting lineup for this game even if the Riders are playing at a new location.

Babar Azam was the first hitter to score six fours against the Sylhet Strikers, making his innings particularly noteworthy as the other seven players only managed single-digit scores. Over the past six months, Afghanistan’s all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai has been making an impression in white ball cricket. In the most recent encounter, he hit 47 runs without conceding an end.

So far in this BPL, the very experienced all-round player Muhammad Nabi has claimed a wicket in both encounters. He doesn’t let up many runs while bowling a very tight line and length. On Tuesday, spinner Mahedi Hasan removed Mohammad Mithun with his second ball of the day and then removed Yasir Ali two overs later.

Rangpur Riders Squads

Rangpur Riders

Nurul Hasan (c & wk), Rony Talukdar, Brandon King, Shamim Hossain, Babar Azam, Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mahedi Hasan, Hasan Mahmud, Ripon Mondol, and Hasan Murad.

Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Sylhet

With the team batting second winning six of eight matches in last year’s Sylhet phase, we expect both captains to desire to field first in this game. Friday afternoon in Sylhet will be sunny, with no clouds or rain in the forecast. Throughout the game, humidity will reduce from 60 to 55%.

The pitch at Sylhet generally speeds up as more games are played there. We anticipate a low bounce and a par score of no more than 160 on this surface.
