Injury and Availability Updates:

(Will be added when there is an update)

Power Picks:

One of the main reasons for Chittagong Vikings’ winning run is Mushfiqur Rahim. The captain of the Vikings team has three fifties from last four matches. Out of the seven matches this season, Rahim cross 20 in six matches. He got out for just five runs during his team’s only defeat in this season.

Captain and Vice-Captain Selection:

Going by the form in this tournament, Rilee Rossow and Mushfiqur will be perfect as captain and vice-captain. Alex Hales has come into the form lately and so did Cameron Delport with the ball as well. The duo can be the other solution for captain and vice-captain as they will be opening the innings as well. AB de Villiers, Mohammad Shahzad and Chris Gayle can be alternative picks as multipliers.

Playing XI #1 for Head to Head/Small Leagues:

Keeper – Mohammad Shahzad

Batters – Mushfiqur Rahim (VC), Rilee Rossouw (C), Cameron Delport, AB de Villiers, Alex Hales

All-Rounders – Farhad Reza, Nahidul Islam

Bowlers – Robbie Frylinck, Khaled Ahmed, Sohag Gazi

Playing XI #2 for Grand Leagues/Mega Leagues:

Keeper – Mohammad Mithun

Batters – Mushfiqur Rahim, Rilee Rossouw, Cameron Delport (C), Alex Hales (VC)

All-Rounders – Farhad Reza, Mosaddek Hossain

Bowlers – Robbie Frylinck, Khaled Ahmed, Mashrafe Mortaza

Expert Advice:

The top four of both the teams are expected to score a lot of runs in this game. However, there is a maximum possibility of including only six players that too by spending a lot of credits. Rossouw and Mushfiqur have been the most consistent players among the eight. But there is a possibility of both getting fewer balls to face like it happen with Rilee during their last game against Khulna Titans.

Probable Winners:

Chittagong Vikings are expected to continue their winning-run if their bowlers can strong the Rangpur Riders’ formidable top four.
