Rangpur Riders vs Khulna Tigers Expert Prediction

This is a battle of form against history. Whilst Rangpur Riders come into this eliminator with no momentum having lost their last four games, Khulna Tigers have won their most recent two matches to seal their play-off spot. However, this is a Rangpur side who know how to win when it comes to knockout cricket. They proved that late last year as they won the inaugural Global Super League despite losing their opening two fixtures.

You would expect Rangpur to finally click into the gear and rediscover the form that made then unstoppable earlier on in the tournament when they had triumphed in eight straight games. Khulna Tigers defeated them by 46 runs in their last encounter but the Riders should tighten up considerably with the ball on this occasion. Add that to the addition of batter Aneurin Donald, a player head coach Mickey Arthur knows well from county cricket and Rangpur may just do enough to sneak past the Tigers.
