Shere Bangla National Stadium

Rangpur Riders and Sylhet Strikers’ encounter in the Bangladesh Premier League will be held on December 31, 2024, at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur. The action is set to begin at 6:30 P.M IST.

Rangpur Riders vs Sylhet Strikers Chances of Winning

Rangpur Riders achieved a top-finish after the group stage of the previous season since they won nine out of 12 matches. After a rocky start to the season with two defeats in the first three games, they became nearly invincible since they went on an eight-match winning streak thereafter before losing their final fixture of the group stage. They were a strong contender for the title at this juncture and they advanced to the qualifiers with a great chance of reaching the final. However, things took a turn for the worse here as they lost both the qualifier matches and missed the opportunity to fight for the championship.

On the other hand, Sylhet Strikers were not a highly competitive side in the tournament last season with five wins in the bag. They made a terrible start to their campaign as they went on to lose their first five games by bad margins. The team managed to make a slight recovery with five wins subsequently but the damage was already done and they had no chance of progressing beyond the group stage.

Rangpur Riders vs Sylhet Strikers Betting Tips

Sylhet Strikers to score low before first dismissal

Sylhet Strikers’ opening partnership was a point of vulnerability throughout the previous season and their low scores reflect that. With different opening combinations in every other match, there was no way for the team to maintain any level of consistency in the tournament. In the last five games of the last season, the openers notched up totals of 1, 40, 0, 13 and 2 runs before the first dismissal. Barring one match, the team’s performances at the front were underwhelming and they are not expected to do well in the upcoming fixture either.

Rangpur Riders vs Sylhet Strikers Toss Prediction

Fielding first is, without a doubt, the best strategy at Shere Bangla National Stadium. With 17 victories for the chasing side out of 22 fixtures last season, it is quite evident that the pitch is better suited to the bowlers. In the first game of the present season between Durbar Rajshahi and Fortune Barishal as well, the toss winner elected to field first which makes this the top choice for the next match, too.

Weather Report

With no likelihood of rainfall at Mirpur, the match can progress without interruption and sunny skies are expected. The temperature is anticipated to reach 26 degrees Celsius.

Rangpur Riders vs Sylhet Strikers Betting Odds

Rangpur Riders to have a better opening partnership than Sylhet Strikers

Zakir Hasan and Kennar Lewis opened for Sylhet Strikers towards the end of the previous season but their partnership was lackluster to say the least. Their inconsistency was their biggest problem since the pair posted opening totals of 1, 40 and 0 in the last three games of the season. Similarly, Rangpur Riders’ openers were also off the mark with opening scores of 8, 10 and 5 runs in the final three matches of the 2023 season but the bookmakers continue to back the latter to come out on top in the next match, particularly since they showed a bit more stability than Sylhet Strikers’ opening wicket.

Soumya Sarkar was the third highest run scorer for Fortune Barishal in the previous season of the tournament where he scored 262 runs in 14 innings. Although his average of 21.83 in the tournament was not very convincing, he is expected to come into the present season in much better shape to claim the top spot.

He has 21 wickets under his belt in the ODI format over the course of 11 innings. With a brilliant bowling average of 13.57, he is the top pick to be their premier bowler.

Tanzim Hasan Sakib to be Sylhet Strikers’ Best Bowler

Tanzim Hasan Sakib was the top wicket-taker for Sylhet Strikers in the previous season of the tournament where he picked a total of 11 wickets in nine innings. He was among the most dependable bowlers for the team with an average of 26.81, making him the leading choice for the next game, too.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Sylhet Strikers

Rangpur Riders were a very competitive team during the previous season and their luck ran out at the worst time as they lost both of the qualifier matches. There was a good balance between the batters and bowlers who pitched in equally to ensure the team was successful. Conversely, Sylhet Strikers’ performance was quite substandard and although their redemption was commendable, they still ended up falling short. Despite that, the bookmakers are confident that the latter’s revamped squad will be much better equipped to overcome Rangpur Riders in the next fixture.

• Rangpur Riders to win @ 2.20 (Parimatch)
• Sylhet Strikers to win @ 1.63 (Parimatch)
