Match Details:

The 29th game of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2019-20 will be played between Rajshahi Royals and Rangpur Rangers at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Dhaka.

Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

Rajshahi Royals are currently ranked fourth in the league table with 10 points and are in a position to grab the top spot if they win the game against Rangpur Rangers. They have lost back to back two games and will be looking to get back on the winning track in the next match.

They have a strong Liton Das, Afif Hossain and Shoaib Malik, who has done well so far in the tournament and helped their side in winning quite a few games. However, they need to fill the voids in their bowling unit. Also, their skipper Andre Russell will be doubtful for the game against Rangers, who looked in pain in the previous match while bowling.

Rangpur Rangers have struggled so far in BPL 2019-20 and have won just three games in their eight outings. They need to buck up and have to win the majority of the games left in their pouch if they want to remain in contention to qualify for the play-offs. However, after the inclusion of Shane Watson in the team, their batting line-up now looks quite strong and will look to reap some good results in the next game.

Weather Condition/Report:

It is expected to be a perfect day for a cricket match with no chances of rain. However, the temperature is expected to deviate between 19 and 27 Degree Celsius throughout the day according to Accuweather.


Pitch Condition/Report:

The batsmen have certainly dominated the bowlers at the track of Shere Bangla Stadium so far in the ongoing tournament. However, the spin heads have got some turn from the wicket in the latter part of the game and the batters look quite uncomfortable facing the spinners in the second innings. The side winning the toss will look to bat as far as trends of the tournament are concerned.

Average 1st inning score: 178 [In the last 3 games played at the venue]
