The table-toppers Rangpur Riders have already qualified for the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2025 Qualifiers. But they have lost two matches in a row, the last one against Durbar Rajshahi by 2 runs, the batsmen completely failed in their task while Khushdil Shah took 3 wickets with the ball. The Riders are still at the top of the points table with 16 points and a net run rate of +1.070.
On the other hand, Chittagong Kings are in trouble having lost three of their last four matches in this tournament; they recently lost the match against Dhaka Capitals by a huge margin of 8 wickets. Naim Islam, Graham Clark, Haider Ali and Mohammad Mithun batted well while the bowling performance was poor in the match. Currently with 10 points and a net run rate of +1.045, Chittagong Kings are at the fourth spot in the points table.
Rangpur Riders are looking in good form in recent matches, they are the favorites to win the match. As per the toss prediction, CHK will win the toss and choose to bowl first. Khushdil Shah will be the top multiplier choice for the small league. Akif Javed will be a good choice for captaincy in the grand league. Rangpur Riders team has an upper hand over the Chittagong Kings team. So try to pick more players from Rangpur Riders.
The surface at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Dhaka is not an easy one for batsmen. The pace of the track will be ideal for scoring runs, especially against fast bowlers when the ball gets old. Spinners get sharp turn in the later stages. Also, fast bowlers can be good with the ball along with good slow bowlers.
11 matches have been played at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium so far in this tournament, and the chasing team has won 5 games. The captain winning the toss will prefer to bat first at this ground based on recent records.
