BRSAL vs RGR Match Prediction & Analysis
Fortune Barishal will be up against the table-toppers in the 38th match of the Bangladesh Premier League in Chattogram. Rangpur Riders are coming here with 7 consecutive wins and an in-form batting lineup.
Though there were a few hiccups in their last innings, Shakib Hasan and Mahedi Hasan staged a comeback in the middle-order taking the team to a competitive 1st innings score.
Fortune Barishal, on the other hand, are also in great touch with 3 consecutive wins including two in Chattogram where defended 180+ total. Kyle Mayers replaced Shoaib Malik in the last game and was exceptional with both bat and ball.
He will be a key player to watch out for in this match. The deep batting lineup with reliable finishers makes the Rangpur Riders a tough team to beat. This will be an exciting contest between these two well-matched teams.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Fortune Barishal Preview
Fortune Barishal will be coming into this match with a lot of confidence after winning back-to-back matches in Chattogram while batting first. They will face a tough challenge from Rangpur Riders who are looking for their 8th straight win of the season.
The last time these two teams met, Fortune Barishal emerged victorious as they chased down a small total in Dhaka. Kyle Mayers and Mushfiqur Rahim made the biggest impact for Barishal in the batting department in the last match.
Most of their key players in the top 4 were back in the hut early. In the previous match, it was Tamim Iqbal who led the batting effort for the team. There are some concerns with the bat as most of the key players are struggling to convert their starts and build partnerships.
Mahmadullah, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Saifuddin are crucial in the lower middle order. All of these batters have plenty of T20 experience and should be able to deliver impactful finishes.
Even the top-order has experienced players in this batting lineup. On paper, they look much stronger and a lot more is expected of this side with the bat.
Kyle Mayers’ contribution with the ball helped Barishal stay on top of the game in the last match. However, they already have a solid bowling attack with the likes of Saifuddin, Keshav Maharaj, and Obed McCoy. Miraz is another key bowler who can deliver crucial breakthroughs.
Overall, it is a solid-looking squad that needs more consistent performances from its players if they are to continue their winning run.
Fortune Barishal Predicted Playing XI:
Ahmed Shehzad, Kyle Mayers, Tamim Iqbal (c), Soumya Sarkar, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Keshav Maharaj, Mohammad Saifuddin, Obed McCoy, Khaled Ahmed

Rangpur Riders Preview
Rangpur Riders finished for just 134 for 9 in their opening game of the season against Fortune Barishal. However, they’ve completely turned things around since then and won 8 of their 9 matches.
They scored 200+ batting first in their first two matches in Chattogram and won both games by a margin of 50+ runs. However, in their last match at this venue, the Riders faced some troubles as they lost quick wickets and were 4 down for 71 runs in the 11th Over.
Not only were they losing regular wickets, but also their run rate was poor. Shakib Al Hasan and Mahedi Hasan came to the rescue and added 68 runs for the 5th wicket. Shakib’s 62 off 39 balls helped Riders finish with 187 runs which is quite a competitive total on this ground.
Reeza Hendricks and Brandon King need to step up and deliver in the top 3. Rony Talukdar hasn’t looked in good touch as an opener. The top order needs to find its rhythm soon before the pressure on Shakib and other lower-middle-order batters gets too much.
Nurul Hasan is another handy batter who can score quick runs at number 4 or 6. He has delivered whenever the team needs him. James Neesham also features in the lower order and is well-known for his big-hitting ability.
Shakib Al Hasan, Dwaine Pretorius, and Mahedi Hasan will be among the key wicket-takers in this bowling attack. James Neesham can deliver a breakthrough and finish with a wicket or two but we don’t think it’s a good idea to let him bowl his full quota.
Rangpur Riders Predicted Playing XI:
Brandon King, Rony Talukdar, Reeza Hendricks, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahedi Hasan, James Neesham, Nurul Hasan (c & wk), Dwaine Pretorius, Shamim Hossain, Hasan Mahmud, Hasan Murad

BRSAL vs RGR Pitch Report
The 38th match of the Bangladesh Premier League will be played at the Zahur Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. It has been a high-scoring venue this season with batters getting a lot of help from the surface. And though 185-190 has been a match-winning score so far, considering the batting strengths of both sides, we reckon the team batting first should be looking at 190+ for a match-winning total.
Toss: To Bat
Batting first and putting up an 185+ score on this pitch sounds like a solid plan for victory at this venue. Both teams are in good form and can easily achieve this if they bat first.
BRSAL vs RGR
Winning Prediction
Both teams are coming in with back-to-back victories and are in red-hot form. There is little to choose between the two. Both have deep batting lineups, experienced players at every position in the order, and variety in the bowling attack. We think the toss will play a big role and the team batting first will have an advantage.
Nevertheless, comparing both sides on their recent performances, current form, and strengths, Rangpur Riders will have a slight edge going into this contest and will start as favorites in our match prediction.
