Fortune Barishal vs Rangpur Riders Predictions

Two of the strongest sides in the BPL are set for another tough battle, with both teams undefeated in their last five matches. Barishal are the defending champions and have beaten the Riders twice in their last three matches.

Fortune Barishal’s Tamim Iqbal has scored 65, 21* & 91 in his last 4 innings.
Fortune Barishal’s Mahmudullah top-scored with 56* off 26 balls in the win over Durbar Rajshahi.
Rangpur Riders’ Iftikhar Ahmed has scored 22, 49 & 47* in his last 4 innings.
Rangpur Riders’ Nurul Hasan has scored 52, 22, 25 & 41 in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head

Barishal have won three of their last five matches against the Riders. Barishal knocked the Riders out of the 2023/24 BPL in Qualifier 2 after beating them by six wickets.

Fortune Barishal Form

Defending champions Barishal won their opener against Durbar Rajshahi by four wickets with almost two overs in hand.

Rajshahi posted an imposing 197/3 off their 20 overs, despite superb bowling from Kyle Mayers (2/13, econ 4.33).

Barishall were in trouble at 61/5 before Mahmudullah (56* off 26 balls) and Faheem Ashraf (54* off 21) got the chase back on track and powered Barishal to a four-wicket win.

Fortune Barishal Team News

Barishal are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Rangpur Riders Form

After winning the Global Super League final against Victoria in December, the Riders went on to win their opening BPL matches against Dhaka Capital and the Sylhet Strikers.

Iftikhar Ahmed top-scored with 47* as the Riders posted a defendable score of 155/6 against the Strikers.

Nahid Rana (4/27, econ 6.75) powered through the Strikers top order as they struggled to a total of 121/9 off their 20 overs.

Rangpur Riders Team News

Rangpur Riders are in great form and shouldn’t need to make any changes to their side.

Verdict

Fortune Barishal v Rangpur Riders

I am backing Fortune Barishal to win what should be a tight contest. I am also backing Tamim Iqbal to top score for Fortune Barishal.

Iftikhar Ahmed is a good bet to top score for the Rangpur Riders.
