Chattogram Challengers vs Rangpur Riders Prediction & Betting Tips 2022
BPL 2023 has been a disappointing campaign for Chattogram Challengers so far as they have managed to win just two games from the six matches they played and are at the second last position in the points table. The team has failed to display a collective effort in both the batting and bowling departments. Afif Hossain and Usman Khan have been the major contributors with the bat as they have scored 191 and 208 runs respectively. Usman has scored with an average of 41.60 but his form seems to have taken a hit in the last couple of games. Afif has been batting very well and has scored 28, 69*, and 29 in the last three matches.
Abu Jayed has scalped five wickets from two matches for the team but neither of the bowlers have taken more than four wickets for the team so far. Also, except for Malinda Pushpakumara and Nihaduzzaman, everyone has a strike rate above 20 which is not a very good figure. Overall, the bowlers need to buckle up and it is evident from the fact that they have managed to restrict opposition below 150 only on a couple of occasions. The team will rely on their bowlers to go all guns blazing and win the matches for the team.
Rangpur Riders also have only two victories to their name as Rony Talukdar and Shoaib Malik have chipped in with major contributions for the team. Malik has been the highest run-getter for the team with 150 runs from five innings with an average of 37.50 while Talukdar has amassed 119 runs from five innings with an average of 23.80. However, the team would need other batters to make significant contributions for the side and script some victories.
Hasan Mahmud has been the leading wicket-taker for the team with seven wickets from five innings with an economy of 7.17 and a bowling strike rate of 15.2. Azmatullah Omarzai and Rakibul Hasan both have picked four wickets each and the team will expect them to deliver against Rangpur Riders. Five bowlers have a bowling strike rate below 20 and that showcases the team’s ability to perform against the best of the batting units.
Chattogram Challengers vs Rangpur Riders Match Toss Prediction
In the last five matches played at this venue, teams have opted to field first after winning the toss on four occasions. Also, the chasing team have won the contest four times and that clearly indicates the trend in favour of the team batting second. Considering the fixtures played on the venue in the tournament so far, teams are likely to follow the trend and prefer fielding first after winning the toss.
Weather Report
The weather will be clear for the match but it might be hot as the temperature will be around 32 degree Celsius. Also, as the temperature will be on the warmer side, it is less likely that the pace bowler will get assistance through the air but spinners might get some help from the surface as the pitches in Bangladesh are often known to be spinner-friendly.
