Hampshire vs Rangpur Riders Chances of Winning
Hampshire’s last match was against Somerset during the County Championship Division One where the former snagged the win in a low scoring game. Somerset batted first but their score of 136 in the first innings was not convincing in the slightest. Hampshire did take the lead but not by much as they found themselves all out for 196. Opener Toby Albert led from the front with 77 runs on the board. Somerset’s second attempt was not significantly better as they piled on 180 before getting bundled out and it was smooth sailing for Hampshire at this juncture as they made up their deficit with 121 runs on the board, winning by a margin of five wickets.
Rangpur Riders suffered an unseemly defeat at the hands of Fortune Barishal in their last match of the Bangladesh Premier League. Batting first, the former racked in just 149 runs which was not a par score at all. The top and middle order crumbled rather quickly and put pressure on the lower order to secure a half decent score. However, Fortune Barishal took the opportunity and surpassed the target with an over to spare. They managed to take victory by six wickets in the end.
- Hampshire chance of winning - 58%
- Rangpur Riders chance of winning - 42%
Hampshire vs Rangpur Riders Betting Tips
Rangpur Riders to score low before first dismissal
Rangpur Riders had several different opening combinations during the Bangladesh Premier League and it caused a great deal of inconsistency at the front. The players did not have the chance to bed in and build on their form due to the constant changes. In the last five fixtures of the tournament, the openers scored 8, 10, 5, 21 and 33 runs before the fall of the first wicket. The gradual decline in scores does not inspire confidence in their ability to turn things around against Hampshire.
