Durbar Rajshahi vs Chittagong Kings Predictions

Durbar are up in the playoff spots after picking up their first win of the series, while the Kings disastrous start to the season sees them stuck at the bottom of the BPL and facing a tough few weeks ahead if they don’t find form with bat and ball.

Durbar Rajshahi’s Anamul Haque has scored 65 & 73* in his first 2 innings of the season.
Durbar Rajshahi’s Ryan Burl scored 55* off 33 balls against Dhaka Capitals.
Chittagong Kings’ Shamim Hossain has scored 84*, 27, 35* & 78 in his last 5 innings.
Chittagong Kings’ Haider Ali hit five sixes in his 73 off 49 balls for the Panthers against the Stallions In December.

Head-to-Head

This will be the first meeting between the two franchises. Comilla Victorians have been replaced by Durbar Rajshahi, while the Chattogram Challengers have been renamed the Chittagong Kings.

Durbar Rajshahi Form

After losing their opener to Fortune Barishal, Durbar bounced back with a strong win over Dhaka Capital.

Taskin Ahmed produced one of the great T20 bowling performances, returning figures of 7/19 (econ 4.75) as Dhaka were restricted to 174/9 after getting off to flying start.

Anamul Haque (73* off 46 balls) and Ryan Burl (55* off 33) saw their side home with a 106-run stand for the 3rd wicket off nine overs.

Durbar Rajshahi Team News

Durbar Rajshahi have found form in just their second match of the series and are unlikely to change their line-up.

Chittagong Kings Form

After being knocked out of last year’s BPL in the Eliminator (playing as Chattogram Challengers), the Kings got off to a disastrous start to their season, losing their opener to Khulna Tigers by 37 runs.

The Tigers piled on 203/4 off their 20 overs, despite a brilliant performance with the ball from Al Islam (2/17,econ 4.25).

Shamim Hossain was the only Kings batter to fire, scoring a magnificent 78 off 38 balls as his side stuttered along to 166 all out off 18.5 overs.

Chittagong Kings Team News

The Kings will want a better performance with bat and ball from their side, but they might give their current side another outing or two before ringing the changes.

Verdict

Durbar Rajshahi v Chittagong Kings

I am backing Durbar Rajshahi to win. I am also backing Anamul Haque to top score for Durbar Rajshahi.

Shamim Hossain is a good bet to top score for the Chittagong Kings.
