Rangpur RidersFortune BarishalFortune Barishal had a positive outing against Chattogram Challengers. The onus of a win goes to the bowling unit who kept the game in control since the start. Kyle Mayers, Mohammad Saifuddin, and Obed Mc Coy picked up 2 wickets each at an economy of 7.00,7.00, and 7.25 respectively. Taijul Islam and James Fuller also contributed with a single wicket each.
Since it was a low-scoring game, the batters were not under pressure and gave a calm and composed start to the team. Tamim Iqbal scored 52 off 43 at a strike rate of 120.93. Kyle Mayers scored 50 off 26 at a strike rate of 192.31. The duo did a great job at the top order and the middle order completed the chase in the 15th over.
Tamim Iqbal, Kyle Mayers, and Mehidy Hasan are the key players in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin, Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim, Akif Javed, Taijul Islam, Ahmed Shehzad, Kyle Mayers, Obed McCoy
It was a disappointing day for the Rangpur Riders as they lost the 1st Qualifier fixture. At the start, the top order struggled to give the team a good start as their first 3 wickets fell for a score of 27.
It was James Neesham, who single-handedly helped the team to reach a nominal score. Neesham scored 97 off 49 at a strike rate of 197.96. Mahedi Hasan (22 off 17) in the middle order and Nurul Hasan (30 off 24) from the lower end also contributed to the overall score.
Even after reaching a winnable score, the bowling unit looked lost and was unable to control the run rate of the opposition. They also failed to provide early breakthroughs and hence failed to stop the opposition from completing the chase. Fazalhaq Farooqi picked up 2 wickets with Abu Hider and Mahedi Hasan scalping a single wicket each.
Fazalhaq Farooqi, Shakib Al Hasan, and James Neesham are the key players in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Nurul Hasan, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahedi Hasan, Shamim Hossain, Hasan Mahmud, Abu Hider, Rony Talukdar, James Neesham, Nicholas Pooran, Mohammad Nabi, Fazalhaq Farooqi
We are in for an absolute thriller between the two teams because this season they have met twice and both teams carry a single win each.
Fortune Barishal have shown their struggles in the middle order and their bowlers have been inconsistent this season.
Rangpur Riders did lose the previous fixture but they have a combination of match-winners who have, in the past, bounced back stronger after a loss. We predict a win for Rangpur Riders on Wednesday.
