BPL 2019, Qualifier 2, Dhaka Dynamites vs Rangpur Riders: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

After six wins in a row, losing against the Comilla Victorians in Qualifier-1 came as quite a shocker to the Rangpur Riders. In the absence of AB de Villiers and Alex Hales, the top-order sure doesn’t look as brutal as it was. Therefore, this might have played a part in the undoing of the team. However, since they finished first on the points table, the Riders have got another chance to possibly make it into the final of the BPL 2019.

To do this, they’ll be taking the Dhaka Dynamites on, who just about seem to be getting back on the track. The side won both of its last two games to reach to the second qualifier. Playing in the home conditions should be an added advantage to them. They will leave no stone unturned to try and get their hands on the silverware, yet again.
