Sylhet International Cricket Stadium

Durbar Rajshahi will play their fourth game of the 2024/25 Bangladesh Premier League against the team that handed them a loss in the first game, Fortune Barishal. The match is scheduled to be played at 6:00 PM IST on 6th January at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.

Facts:

  • Durbar Rajshahi, previously playing the BPL as Rajshahi Royals, took a three-year break from the tournament after winning the title in 2020.
  • Durbar Rajshahi’s pacer Taskin Ahmed broke the record of the best bowling figures in the Bangladesh Premier League with a return of 7/19 against Dhaka Capital.

Durbar Rajshahi vs Fortune Barishal Chance of Winning

Durbar Rajshahi started their campaign with a loss to Fortune Barishal, who chased down an imposing target of 198 with 4 wickets remaining. They swiftly got back to winning ways, mainly riding on Taskin Ahmed’s record-breaking 7-wicket haul against Dhaka Capitals. There were no heroics in the next match, however, as they meekly surrendered to Chittagong Kings.

Fortune Barishal have played one game fewer than their opponents but are still ahead of them in the table on net run rate. The defending champions started the tournament with a win over Durbar Rajshahi but their batting collectively failed in the next game. None of the batsmen managed to score more than 30 runs as Rangpur Riders bowled them out for 124 and chased it down with ease.

  • Fortune Barishal Chance of Winning - 65%

Durbar Rajshahi vs Fortune Barishal Prediction & Betting Tips 2024

After the first leg in Mirpur which saw pretty high scores, the tournament shifts base to Sylhet. The venue is a bowling-friendly wicket with scores of mid 130s being par at the venue. We feel it’ll be a low-scoring match and are backing the bowlers to do well. Odds of 5.30 for a batsman to not score a fifty seem like a safe bet to us.

Durbar Rajshahi’s pacer Taskin Ahmed is in great form, having taken 12 wickets already in 3 matches. Fortune Rajshahi’s batsmen are yet to get going and Ahmed could not have picked a better time to face them. In the first match the two teams played, the 29-year-old took 3 wickets and we’re backing him to be among the wickets once again.

Durbar Rajshahi vs Fortune Barishal Head to Head

Durbar Rajshahi vs Fortune Barishal Betting Odds

Fortune Barishal to have a better opening partnership than Durbar Rajshahi

Both teams’ openers have flattered to deceive so far. Durbar Rajshahi has managed scores of just 9, 13, and 5 in the opening three games while Fortune Barishal’s opening partnership was broken for a duck in the opening match but managed to score 28 in the second.

The defending champions’ openers Tamim Iqbal and Najmul Hossain Shanto have pedigree and it is only a matter of time before they go big. Iqbal was the tournament’s top scorer last season while Shanto is settling in his new team. A 28-run partnership in the game against Rangpur Riders showed promise and odds of 1.85 for them to have the better opening partnership in the match seem pretty good to us.

Durbar Rajshahi vs Fortune Barishal Top Batters

Anamul Haque to be Durbar Rajshahi’s top batsman

In the three games that Durbar Rajshahi has played, Anamul Haque has scored two half centuries to write his name at the top of the list of the highest run scorers in the tournament so far. The 32-year-old wicketkeeper batsman is in great form and his team will need him to perform well once again against the defending champions.

Tamim Iqbal to be Fortune Barishal’s top batsman

None of Fortune Barishal’s batsmen have impressed so far with the lower-order batters scoring the bulk of the team’s runs. The opening batsman has scored 35 runs in two matches for the team but was the tournament’s topscorer last season and comes into the tournament with two fifties in the previous three matches.

Durbar Rajshahi vs Fortune Barishal Top Bowlers

Taskin Ahmed to be Durbar Rajshahi’s top bowler

Pacer Taskin Ahmed wrote his name in the record books by becoming the first player in the tournament, and third overall, to take 7 wickets in a T20 match. He has been deadly in the other two matches as well taking 5 wickets to take his tally to 12 this season.

Shaheen Shah Afridi to be Fortune Barishal’s top bowler

While the left arm pacer is yet to take a wicket in the two games this season, there is no doubting Afridi’s talent. The 24-year-old came into the tournament on the back of a 7-wicket return in the 3-match ODI series against South Africa. We are backing him to open his account against Durbar Rajshahi.
