Dhaka Capitals vs Rangpur Riders Predictions

Last season’s bottom side after the group stages (Dhaka Capitals) face up to the table-toppers, Rangpur Riders, in a clash that should see Rangpur off to a winning start.

Rangpur Riders’ Soumya Sarkar has scored 73 & 43 against the West Indies in his last 3 whiteball innings.
Rangpur Riders’ Steven Taylor has scored 32* & 68 in his last 2 innings.
Dhaka Capitals’ Litton Das has scored 4,883 runs in T20 cricket.
Dhaka Capitals’ Stephen Eskinazi top-scored with 60 off 34 balls in the win over Pokhara Avengers.

Head-to-Head

This will be the first meeting between the two franchises.

Dhaka Capitals Form

After winning their first match of the 2023/24 season as Durdanto Dhaka, they went on to lose their next 11 on the trot to end stone last.

Their last match was a 10-run defeat at the hands of the Chattogram Challengers.

Dhaka were restricted to 159/6 off their 20 overs, with Tanzid Hasan scoring a solid 70. Shuvagata Hom (2/12) was superb with the ball for Dhaka, but it was not enough to prevent a 10-run loss.

Dhaka Capitals Team News

Dhaka haven’t been particularly successful in the draft and have not been able to beef up their squad. It could be a long season for them.

Rangpur Riders Form

The Riders come into this match on the back of winning the Global Super League final against Victoria at the start of December.

Rangpur scored 178/3 off their 20 overs thanks to a brilliant 86* off 54 balls from Soumya Sarkar.

Rangpur bowled Victoria out for 122 off 18.1 overs, Harmeet Singh (3/19) and Mahedi Hasan (2/20) doing the damage with the ball.

Rangpur Riders Team News

Rangpur are in great form and should take the win comfortably.

Verdict

Dhaka Capitals v Rangpur Riders

I am backing Rangpur Riders to win. I am also backing Soumya Sarkar to top score for Rangpur Riders.

Litton Das is a good bet to top score for the Dhaka Capitals.
