Predicted Playing XI

Sylhet Strikers Team Form

Till last week, it looked like no one would be able to stop the Sylhet Strikers onslaught at the 2023 edition of the Bangladesh Premier League. Then, out of nowhere, Comilla Victorians and Rangpur Riders handed them a wake-up call—with two comprehensive defeats at that. Those two losses are their lone blemishes in eight games this year.

Rangpur Riders vs Sylhet Strikers Head to Head

The recent head-to-head numbers between Rangpur Riders and Sylhet Strikers are heavily one-sided. The last five games between these two sides saw the Riders walking away with the points on four occasions. The Strikers last beat the Riders in 2019.

Rangpur Riders vs Sylhet Strikers Betting Odds

RR to score more than 40 in powerplay @ 1.765 (Melbet)

The Rangpur Riders are not known to go all guns blazing with the bat in the first overs—so far in this tournament, at least. However, there is a pattern that is consistent, especially in their three recent wins. Once they have settled in, the Riders’ innings blossoms towards the latter half of the powerplay. Given those numbers, this is a sure-shot bet to take advantage of.

Rangpur Riders vs Sylhet Strikers Best Batters

Shoaib Malik to be RR’s best batter (Melbet)

The Rangpur Riders have not had an out-and-out performer with the bat, so to speak. Their success has been more down to a collective effort. But Shoaib Malik, whose numbers in the T20 format speak for itself, has once again proved his worth. Carrying his form into the 2023 edition of the Bangladesh Premier League, the veteran has scored 231 runs at an average of 38.50 in his last eight matches for Rangpur Riders.

Najmul Shanto to be SS’s best batter (Melbet)

Among the youthful core of the Sylhet Strikers, Najmul Shanto continues to impress. Though he had been steadily moving up the ranks in Bangladesh Cricket for years now, it was his exploits at the 2016 Under-19 World Cup—259 runs at an average of 64.75—that proved to be his breakout onto the international setup. So far, he has been the top run-getter for the Strikers this year, with 356 runs in 10 games at an average of 44.5.

Rangpur Riders vs Sylhet Strikers Best Bowlers

Azmatullah Omarzai to be RR’s best bowler (Melbet)

When so many bowlers have turned up trumps for one side, it is hard to pick out one to bet on. However, recent form favours the all-rounder from Afghanistan, Azmatullah Omarzai. Besides his cameos with the bat, the 22-year-old has also produced the goods with the ball in hand. His right-arm medium fast deliveries have picked up 10 wickets in his last seven games for the Rangpur Riders at an average of 13.29.

Mashrafe Mortaza to be SS’s best bowler (Melbet)

The Sylhet Strikers are stacked with wicket-taking bowlers. Three of their bowlers are among the top six wicket-takers in the 2023 edition of the Bangladesh Premier League. Among them, their skipper Mashrafe Mortaza is the sure-shot bet. In addition to an improving economy rate (7.5), the seasoned campaigner has picked up 12 wickets in his last 10 games.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Rangpur Riders

Melbet’s prediction aside, we think this is touch-and-go. The stakes are high: Sylhet Strikers want to ensure a top-two finish; Rangpur Riders want to ensure a place in the top four. And both sides come into this game with similar records in recent games. As for the Strikers, however, an added incentive for them is that they will also be looking forward to avenge their loss in the reverse fixture. However, our analysis of the squads points to a win for the Riders.
