TEAMS PREVIEW
Sylhet Strikers Preview
At long last, Sylhet Strikers have a win to their name. After losing five games in a row, the Strikers got on board with a close 15-run win over Durdanto Dhaka at Sylhet. In this game, the Strikers posted 142-8 on the board after batting first and managed to restrict Dhaka to 127-9.
Sylhet’s batting hasn’t really clicked, with only two batsmen scoring over 100 runs in the competition so far. Zakir Hasan has been by far their most consistent batter, scoring 189 runs in 6 innings at a strike rate of 133.
Skipper Mohammad Mithun scored a valuable match-winning 59 off 46 balls in the previous match. This is a good sign for the Strikers.
Among the bowlers, look no further than Richard Ngarava, who is fresh from a Player-of-the-Match spell against Dhaka. Ngarava’s 4-30 proved to be game-changing, and with that spell, he now leads the team’s bowling charts, with 9 scalps at an economy of 8.12.
Sylhet Strikers Predicted Playing XI:
Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shamsur Rahman, Zakir Hasan, Mohammad Mithun (c & wk), Benny Howell, Ryan Burl, Ariful Haque, Samit Patel, Nayeem Hasan, Rejaur Rahman Raja, Richard Ngarava

Rangpur Riders Preview
Rangpur Riders have had a decent season so far and are third on the table with three wins and two defeats. They have won two matches on the trot, the last of which came against Comilla Victorians at Sylhet. Batting first, Rangpur Riders posted 165-5 on the board and won the game by 8 runs.
If you’re looking for batters to pick from Rangpur, then Babar Azam (157 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 113) and Azmatullah Omarzai (125 runs in 5 innings at 152) are your best bets. They have been very consistent and are likely to continue their good form.
The bowling side has been doing a fine job as well, with Mahedi Hasan being the shining star. The right-arm offbreak bowler is relishing bowling on these slow wickets and has already taken 7 wickets in 5 innings at an economy of 6.13.
Another bowler worth backing is the ever-impressive Hasan Mahmud, who has 6 wickets in 5 innings at an economy of 7.56.
Mohammad Nabi has done a fantastic job in the middle overs and is going at less than six runs per over this season.
Rangpur Riders Predicted Playing XI:
Brandon King, Babar Azam, Nurul Hasan (c & wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai, Fazle Mahmud, Shamim Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Hasan Mahmud, Hasan Murad

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The Sylhet International Cricket Stadium pitch offers plenty of help to bowlers, particularly slow bowlers. Spinners will enjoy the slowness of the surface and make things difficult for batters with their variations. Even seamers can outfox batters with their cutters and slower ones. Batsmen will have to grind it out and get used to the conditions if they want to make an impact.
There is some chance of rain in Sylhet tomorrow evening and the match could be disrupted because of that.
SYS vs RGR Pitch Report
The average first innings score at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in domestic T20s around the 160-run mark. This season, the highest total posted here is 193-4 by Chattogram Challengers against Fortune Barishal. However, the wicket is slowing down now, and the team batting first should be looking to set a target of around 160-170 runs.
Toss: To Bat
At the time of writing, nine matches have been played at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in this season of the Bangladesh Premier League. Out of these, seven have been won by the team batting first. Therefore, it’s very likely that the team winning the toss will choose to bat first in this match. If the weather forcecast tomoroow shows greater chances of rain in the evening, however, both teams might want to field first.
SYS vs RGR
Winning Prediction
Rangpur Riders have already defeated Sylhet Strikers once this season by 4 wickets. Looking at the way these two teams have shaped up, we expect the Riders to continue their dominance over the Strikers. Rangpur’s batting and bowling both look in really good shape. On the other hand, Sylhet’s batting is struggling, and they will need their bowlers to step it up once more if they hope to defeat the Riders.
Rangpur Riders are likely to emerge victorious in this match.
