Rangpur Riders Betting Analysis
Rangpur Riders maintained the momentum and winning streak gained from their Global Super League triumph with a commanding win in their opening BPL fixture. Batting first, they set Dhaka Capitals 192 to win, which the Riders defending comfortably in the end, restricting Dhaka to just 151/9 off their 20 overs. The game saw the experienced Iftikhar Ahmed blast a quick 49 for Rangpur and a small move on him to score 20+ runs here warrants exploring from bettors.
Sylhet Strikers Betting Analysis
The star name among the Sylhet Strikers side had to be overseas bowler Reece Topley. The England international white ball bowler is an expert at T20 cricket and a proven wicket-taker with his left arm pace variations. Topley’s height generates extra bounce and makes him a nightmare for batters to face in the powerplay especially. Back the Surrey star to take over 1.5 match wickets.
Rangpur Riders vs Sylhet Strikers Expert Prediction
Runners-up back in 2023, Sylhet Strikers have never won the BPL and a tough field makes it a difficult prospect for them to do so on this occasion. It doesn’t help that they face a team who is very much riding the crest of a wave at present. Rangpur have nailed that winning formula right now and looked totally at home last time out, at ease with conditions and nailing their skillsets. When taking this into account, the Riders have to be favoured again in this next game.
