TEAMS PREVIEW
Rangpur Riders Preview
Rangpur Riders began their BPL campaign on a high note, stringing together eight consecutive victories. However, their performance in the back half of the season has fallen short, with four losses in a row. Their most recent setback was against Khulna Tigers – the very team they will face in the Eliminator. When chasing a daunting 221-run target, Rangpur ended up 45 runs short.
As a result, the Riders go into the Eliminator with shaky confidence. They need their batters and bowlers to step up their game if they want to change their fortunes.
Iftikhar Ahmed has been a key figure in their successes so far, amassing 305 runs in 11 innings, with a fine average of 43.57 and a strike rate of 120. Saif Hassan is another player to keep an eye on, as he has also scored over 300 runs this season, with a strike rate of 122.
In their recent match against Khulna, opener Soumya Sarkar's knock of 74 runs off 48 balls was particularly impressive and underlined his potential at the top of the order.
Akif Javed has led the Rangpur bowling attack, taking 19 wickets in 10 innings and keeping his economy rate at a miserly 6.90. Mohammad Saifuddin, Nahid Rana, and Mahedi Hasan have also consistently taken wickets, making the Riders' bowling a formidable force.
Key Players: Soumya Sarkar, Akif Javed, Saif Hassan
Rangpur Riders Predicted Playing XI:
Soumya Sarkar, Tawfique Khan, Saif Hassan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Nurul Hasan (c & wk), Mahedi Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin, Akif Javed, Rakibul Hasan, Nahid Rana, Md Azizul Hakim Tamim

Khulna Tigers Preview
This BPL season has been a story of ups and downs for Khulna Tigers, who have six wins alongside their six defeats. They head into the Eliminator with momentum, having won their last two matches. In their most recent game, they defeated Dhaka Capitals, successfully chasing a target of 124 in 16.5 overs with six wickets to spare.
Mohammad Naim has really stepped up for Khulna, notching 444 runs across 12 innings. He's managed a very respectable average of 40.36 and a strike rate of 148. Skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz has also contributed consistent performances, including an unbeaten 74 off 55 balls in their last game, giving him 353 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 137.
William Bosisto has turned out to be an important player in the middle order, along with Mahidul Islam Ankon. Each has contributed over 275 runs so far this season.
Khulna’s bowling attack has also been quite potent, with wickets being spread around. Abu Hider has been the leading wicket-taker, grabbing 17 wickets in 10 innings while conceding 9.81 runs per over. Mohammad Nawaz, Hasan Mahmud, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are also bowling well and could be difference-makers in this upcoming game.
Key Players: Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mohammad Naim, Hasan Mahmu
Khulna Tigers Predicted Playing XI:
Mehidy Hasan Miraz (c), Mohammad Naim, Alex Ross, William Bosisto, Mahidul Islam Ankon (wk), Afif Hossain, Mohammad Nawaz, Abu Hider Rony, Musfik Hasan, Hasan Mahmud, Nasum Ahmed

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka has been great for batsmen lately. While spinners might not play a major role, bowlers who can mix up their pace and angles could find ways to keep the batters in check.
On the weather front, Dhaka will enjoy cool and pleasant conditions, with no rain interruptions expected during the game.
RGR vs KLT Pitch Report
The average score at the Shere Bangla National Stadium is 150. That said, this season’s highest total at the venue is Khulna Tigers’ 220-4 versus Rangpur Riders, a game they won by 46 runs.
Toss: To Bat
The stats from the last five BPL matches at the Shere Bangla National Stadium show that the team batting first has come out on top in three of those games. Also, the conditions in afternoon games usually give an advantage to the team batting first. Because of this, we think both teams will be hoping to bat first in this match.
RGR vs KLT
Winning Prediction
Rangpur Riders and Khulna Tigers have both put up a strong showing in this year’s BPL. Rangpur started the tournament in impressive fashion but have hit a rough patch recently, losing their last four matches in a row. On the other hand, Khulna have found their rhythm, winning three of their last four games, including a victory over Rangpur. While Rangpur’s squad is packed with talent, Khulna’s recent momentum gives them the edge heading into this knockout clash.
We are backing Khulna Tigers as the winners of the Eliminator.
