Dhaka Capital vs Rangpur Riders Predictions

The Riders have won their four opening matches of the season, with all four victories coming by substantial margins. Dhaka look like their season might have already ended, as their batting has been largely woeful.

Rangpur Riders’s Alex Hales has scored 50, 49* & 113* in his last 5 innings.
Rangpur Riders’s Saif Hassan has scored 40, 62* & 80 in his 4 BPL innings.
Dhaka Capital’s Thisara Perera hit seven sixes in his innings of 103* against the Tigers.
Dhaka Capital’s Shahadat Hossain has scored 50 & 23 in his last 3 innings.

Head-to-Head

The two franchises have met just once, on 30 December last year, with the Riders claiming a 40-run win.

Dhaka Capital Form

Dhaka Capital suffered their third loss on the bounce when they went down to the Khulna Tigers by 20 runs.

Chaturanga de Silva (2/22) knocked over the Tigers openers after an opening stand of 49, but their tail wagged and they posted a competitive 173/8 off their 20 overs.

Dhaka collapsed to 41/6 before Thisara Perera (103* off 60 balls) and Chaturanga de Silva (11*) did their best to keep the chase alive, but they could only scrape their way to 153/6 off their 20 overs.

Dhaka Capital Team News

Dhaka need the majority of their top order to raise their hands and start contributing or their playoff hopes will be gone soon.

Rangpur Riders Form

The Riders made it four wins from four after chasing down a big target set by the Sylhet Strikers.

Mohammad Saifuddin (2/31) made two telling breakthroughs as the Strikers posted an imposing 205/4 off their 20 overs.

Alex Hales (113* off 56 balls) and Saif Hassan (80 off 49) put together a superb second-wicket stand of 186 off 16.5 overs, with both batters smashing seven sixes on the way to an eight-wicket win.

Rangpur Riders Team News

The Riders are in magnificent form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Verdict

Dhaka Capital v Rangpur Riders

I am backing Rangpur Riders to win. I am also backing Alex Hales to top score for Rangpur Riders.

Thisara Perera is a good bet to top score for the Dhaka Capital.
