The Bangladesh Premier League table is starting to separate the quality teams from the also rans and we have the top two going head to head in this match! Durdanto Dhaka are adrift at the bottom with only Sylhet Strikers for company, two points above them.
With other franchise tournaments and some international bilateral series going on, we have seen some players come and go but the standard of the competition has not dipped. Across all three phases that we have seen so far, spinners and pace bowlers have held top quality batters to and we expect more of the same in this game.
Read on as we preview this game between the Challengers and the Riders which is sure to capture the attention of cricket fans from across the globe.

New g Josh Brown produced the goods at the top of the order in his first game at this year's BPL and alongside New Zealand's Tom Bruce is likely to provide the greatest threat to the Rangers bowling attack. Brown starred in the closing stages of this year's BBL for Brisbane Heat and he brings a big-hitting powerful approach to the opening berth of Chattogram's side. And Bruce is a man in fine form with two unbeaten half-centuries from his three innings in the tournament so far.
With the ball, the trio of Al-Amin Hossain, Bilal Khan and Shohidul Islam all arrive at this game in strong form and they will be looking forward to testing out the Rangpur batters with a wide range of deliveries.

If you want to be competitive in a T20 tournament, particularly in Asia, then having Shakib Al Hasan and Babar Azam in your side gives you a massive boost! That is what Rangpur Riders have and with Rony Talukdar completing the top three, there are plenty of runs to be had at the top of the order.
However, the Riders will be without Mohammad Nabi and Azmatullah Omarzai who will be both using their all-round skills for the good of their country in their ODI series against Sri Lanka over the coming week. Both will be missed.
Shakib and Mahedi Hasan will carry the torch for the bowling attack and both will get plenty of turn from this pitch.

Clear skies are forecast in Mirpur throughout this game on Saturday. The temperature should be no higher than 24 degrees in what will be pleasant conditions for players and spectators alike.
Bowlers of all varieties have been enjoying this pitch over recent games and the days of hitting 200 in Mirpur look a long way away at the moment. Any score over 160 in the first innings should be enough to win.
Three of the last five matches at this venue have seen the toss winning captain choose to field first and we expect both teams to choose to do the same if they win the toss ahead of this match.
This looks like being an excellent game at the top of the table on Saturday and many pundits are predicting a very close contest! Often in these type of games, one player stands tall and delivers at the key moment and we expect that player to be Babar Azam. With his form and class, we are backing Rangpur Riders.
