Rangpur Riders vs Chattogram Challengers
Rangpur Riders (Match Odds- 1.47)
Preview
With every win, the Rangpur Riders demonstrate their dominance in the league and move one step closer to postseason qualifying. Despite suffering early defeats to Fortune Barishgal and Khulna Tigers, the team’s outstanding play in the following games has cemented their place.
The Riders are coming off an incredible 78-run victory over the Khulna Tigers, as they bowled out the opposition for just 141 runs after batting first and destroying 219-5.
Babar Azam tops the team’s batting standings with 251 runs at a strike rate of 114 and an average of 50.20 from 6 games. 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.
Their bowling group, which includes some of the best players in the game, is the core of their strength. Leading the pace is Mahedi Hasan, who has taken 13 wickets at an economy rate of 6.41 in 9 matches. Shakib Al Hasan, who has taken 13 wickets in 8 matches at an economy of 6.23, is closely behind him.
Hasan Mahmud has also performed admirably, claiming 10 wickets at a 7.40 average.

Chattogram Challengers (Match Odds- 2.70)
Preview
Chattogram Challengers have recovered from a dismal season in which they finished last in the points standings with impressive cricket performances this year, displaying confidence as they look ahead to the remaining games. They recently suffered a crushing 73-run defeat to Comilla Victorians, bowled out for a meagre 166 runs while chasing an intimidating 240.

Tom Bruce (153 runs in 5 matches at 139) and Shahadat Hossain (174 runs in 9 matches with a strike rate of 105) are close behind him.

Rangpur Riders vs Chattogram Challengers Toss Prediction:
During the opening game at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, the first-batting squad amassed an incredible 239 runs and won by 73 runs. The team that batted first won the second game of the season at the location. Consequently, the side that wins the toss will probably be persuaded to bat first in this instance.
Rangpur Riders vs Chattogram Challengers Pitch Report:
Batters were able to strike through the line and milk bowlers all around the wicket in the opening two matches played at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium this season. Even the spinners were carted when the bowlers were unable to control the run flow. Whether we get the same wicket for this match is still up in the air. But given this is only the sixth game of the season that will take place here, we anticipate that the surface will still be favourable for batting. By then, spinners may receive assistance throughout the middle overs.
Rangpur Riders vs Chattogram Challengers Match Report:
In their most recent meeting this season, Rangpur Riders easily prevailed by a margin of 53 runs. As a result, the Riders will have a big advantage in the next game. Throughout the season, Chattogram Challengers’ inability to score runs has been a major contributing factor to their losses. We anticipate Rangpur Riders to win the game on Friday because they have a potent bowling attack, a solid batting order, and winning momentum.
Rangpur Riders is the clear to win the Rangpur Riders vs Chattogram Challengers match at the odds of 1.47.
Rangpur Riders vs Chattogram Challengers Most Recommended Player for Bet:
