Sylhet International Cricket Stadium

Sylhet Strikers and Rangpur Riders’ second encounter in the Bangladesh Premier League this season will be held on January 6, 2024. They will meet at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, with the clash starting at 1:00 P.M IST.

Sylhet Strikers vs Rangpur Riders Chances of Winning

Sylhet Strikers made a poor start to their campaign as they took on Rangpur Riders for their first game this season. Rangpur Riders batted first and they managed to pile on a mediocre score of 155/6. This was a doable task for Sylhet Strikers but the batters were off the mark; opener Rony Talukdar top-scored with 41 runs but the rest of the team failed to make a helpful contribution which resulted in them being restricted to 121/9 by the end of 20 overs. Sylhet Strikers missed the mark by 34 runs.

Rangpur Riders’ purple patch started at the beginning of their campaign and they ended up with three back-to-back wins leading up to this game. In their last outing, they played against Fortune Barishal and limited the latter to 124. This made it rather easy for the batters to bring it home - opener Alex Hales set the tone for the innings with an unbeaten 49 while Saif Hassan scored 62* runs. This was enough for Rangpur Riders to make it over the line with eight wickets still in hand.

Sylhet Strikers vs Rangpur Riders Betting Tips

Sylhet Strikers to score under 17.5 before first dismissal @ 1.86 (Parimatch)

Sylhet Strikers’ Rony Talukdar and George Munsey have opened one match for the team so far and their partnership of four runs was not an ideal start to their campaign. This was due to the latter’s early dismissal in the second over of the innings which did not give the team a strong foundation. Additionally, Rangpur Riders have an incredibly powerful bowling attack, particularly with the likes of Khushdil Shah and Nahid Rana. This will certainly make it challenging for Sylhet Strikers to put on a respectable opening total in the next match.

Sylhet Strikers vs Rangpur Riders Toss Prediction

Sylhet International Cricket Stadium is a batting pitch through and through, evidenced by the fact that 35 out of 59 T20I matches were won by those batting first. Furthermore, eight out of 12 games held here last season went in favor of those setting the target. Considering the advantages batters receive on this surface, the toss winner will be inclined to bat first in the upcoming fixture.

Weather Report

Sunny skies are predicted at Sylhet on match day with no threat of rainfall whatsoever and a maximum temperature of 27 degrees Celsius.

Sylhet Strikers vs Rangpur Riders Betting Odds

Rangpur Riders to have a better opening partnership than Sylhet Strikers @ 1.85 (Parimatch)

Sylhet Strikers have played a single match in the tournament this season and their opening partnership was not something to write home about; Rony Talukdar and George Munsey managed to add four runs to the first wicket before the latter departed in the second over. Rangpur Riders, on the contrary, have participated in three matches so far and their openers have been slightly better. Alex Hales has been a constant opener while his partner changed from Steven Taylor to Azizul Hakim. Regardless, the opening pair scored 10, 22 and 20 runs and the bookmakers have confidence that they will outdo Sylhet Strikers’ first partnership once again in the next game.

However, he has been a prolific batter for Ireland in the T20I format, having achieved an average of 27.07. Despite his poor performance in the last match, he is expected to come into his own in the upcoming game.

Saif Hassan to be Rangpur Riders’ Best Batter

Saif Hassan leads Rangpur Riders’ run charts with 106 runs in three innings and an average of 53.00. His best performance of the season was in the last encounter against Fortune Barishal where he scored an unbeaten 62. Given his form, he is the top pick for the next match as well.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Rangpur Riders

Sylhet Strikers had a middling season last year with five wins in 12 matches and there seems to be little improvement since then, having lost the first game by a terrible margin against Rangpur Riders. As it stands, they are last in the standings with an awful net run rate of -1.700. This is in complete contrast to their upcoming rivals, Rangpur Riders, who are the table toppers with three wins in three fixtures and a sensational net run rate of 2.018. The choice was quite obvious for the bookmakers who rely on Rangpur Riders to reign supreme yet again.
