DH vs RGR Match Prediction & Analysis
Durdanto Dhaka will be taking on Rangpur Riders at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet. The recent games in BPL have been quite low-scoring and the Riders, even with a star-studded lineup are struggling to post a good total.
They lost half of their side for just 74 runs while chasing a 161-run target in the last match against Khulna Tigers at this venue. Durdanto Dhaka haven’t been any better when it comes to batting.
After a successful start to the season, Dhaka finished with 136 for 8 batting first against Chattogram Challengers in their last outing. They lost 4 wickets for 33 runs with none of the top 4 batters scoring in double digits.
Riders’ skipper Nurul Hasan will be concerned after they failed to chase 161 in the recent match. Even with the likes of Babar Azam, Brandon King, and Shakib Al Hasan in their lineup, Rangpur Riders struggled big time.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Dhaka Capitals Preview
Durdanto Dhaka need to turn things around quickly and get their top-order back in form. Danushka Gunathilaka and Mohmmad Naim scored a 101-run partnership in their first game of the season.
However, after such a partnership while chasing a 144-run target, Dhaka went on to lose more wickets and reached the target in the 20th Over. That raises major concerns over the Dhaka middle-order.
Lasith Croopsulle who failed to get going at number 3 in that match was sent down to number 7 in the next game. He scored 46 off 31 balls and built a 73-run partnership for the 5th wicket along with Irfan Sukkur.
Other key players in the middle order include skipper Mosaddek Hossain and Alex Ross at 4 and 5. The batting lineup is quite deep with batting all-rounder Chaturanga de Silva coming in at number 8.
Though they haven’t been in great form, Dhaka have the potential to bounce back. There are promising players in this batting lineup and on their best day, they should be able to post a competitive score.
In the bowling, there are many options with some in-form players. Shoriful Islam, Taskin Ahmed, and Usman Qadir will be the key wicket-takers to watch out for.
They’ve got two left-arm orthodox bowlers Arafat Sunny and Chaturanga de Silva and both will play a key role on this pitch.
Dhaka Capitals Predicted Playing XI:
Danushka Gunathilaka, Mohammad Naim, Irfan Sukkur (wk), Alex Ross, Saif Hassan, Mosaddek Hossain (c), Chaturanga de Silva, Taskin Ahmed, Arafat Sunny, Shoriful Islam, Usman Qadir

Rangpur Riders Preview
Rangpur Riders were completely outplayed in the batting department in their last outing at this venue. Mohammad Nabi’s 50 off 30 balls at number 5 couldn’t get them across the line as they lost the match by 28 runs.
Riders suffered a batting collapse in back-to-back matches. It was Babar Azam and Azmatullah Omarzai who led the Riders’ comeback in their second T20 of the season after they were 6 down for 39 runs.
An unbeaten partnership of 86 runs between the two for the 7th wicket helped Riders chase down a 121-run target. However, neither of these two batters was able to get going in the last match in Sylhet while chasing 161 runs.
The top 3 Rony Talukdar, Babar Azam, and Brandon King need to find their rhythm and start delivering some impactful knocks for the Riders. Brandon King, in particular, has struggled to even get a start as he’s scored 1, 0, and 0 in his last 3 innings.
They brought in Shakib Al Hasan in the last game but sent him to bat at number 8. Looking at King’s current form, we reckon, Shakib should be promoted up the order to number 3.
Another key player whose form has hurt the Riders is their skipper Nurul Hasan. There are promising batters throughout this batting order but none of them are in good touch and reliable at the moment.
Mahedi Hasan, Shakib Al Hasan, and Hasan Mahmud will be the key bowlers in this side. Hasan Murad is another impressive bowler who did well in the first couple of matches and was then dropped in the 3rd match.
Rangpur Riders Predicted Playing XI:
Rony Talukdar, Babar Azam, Brandon King, Nurul Hasan (c & wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Shamim Hossain, Mohammad Nabi, Mahedi Hasan, Azmatullah Omarzai, Hasan Mahmud, Ripon Mondol

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It is a balanced wicket with plenty of help on offer for the bowlers. There is movement off the pitch for the pacers and spinners can also find help from the surface. Batters need to settle on the crease before they can start scoring quick runs. The weather will clear with periodic clouds in Syleht with a high of 21 degrees Celsius on the match day.
DH vs RGR Pitch Report
Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet will be the venue for the Durdnato Dhaka vs Rangpur Riders match of the BPL 2024. The average 1st innings score at this venue is 164 runs in domestic T20s and we reckon a score of 175-180 should be a match-winning total in this match.
Toss: To Bat
Teams bowling first have won 19 of the 34 matches at this venue and Riders also opted to bowl in their last match here. However, considering the current batting form of both sides, we reckon they would be better off batting first and defending a total with their reliable and in-form bowlers.
DH vs RGR
Winning Prediction
It is tricky to pick a winner between two equally struggling and out-of-form sides. Rangpur Riders are strong on paper but are completely out of form and their key players are struggling to score runs. Dhaka, on the other hand, also suffered a batting collapse, but have shown some promise. Considering their overall squad composition, Durdonto Dhaka will have a slight edge in our match prediction.
