Rajshahi Warriors Preview
Rajshahi Warriors have put together a competitive and resilient campaign in the Bangladesh Premier League 2025/26, sitting firmly in the playoff mix with 4 wins from 6 matches. Rajshahi opened the tournament with a tight 8-wicket win over Sylhet, followed by a last-over loss to Dhaka by 5 wickets. Since then, they have bounced back impressively, registering close victories against Noakhali and Rangpur, while also suffering a heartbreaking 2-wicket defeat to Chattogram.
One of the standout moments of their season came earlier against Rangpur Riders, where the league clash ended in a thrilling tie. Batting first, Rajshahi posted 159/8, built around a crucial 93-run second-wicket partnership between Najmul Hossain Shanto (41) and Shahibzada Farhan (65 off 46). Rangpur matched the total at 159/6, forcing a Super Over. In the decisive phase, Rajshahi held their nerve, with Ripon Mondol delivering under pressure to seal a dramatic Super Over victory.
Individually, Rajshahi’s batting has been led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, who has amassed 211 runs in 6 matches at an average of 42.2 and a strike rate of 139.7, providing stability at the top. Mushfiqur Rahim has added experience and finishing power in the middle order, while Shahibzada Farhan has played key aggressive knocks. On the bowling front, Ripon Mondol has been the standout, picking up 9 wickets in 4 matches and delivering match-defining overs, supported well by Binura Fernando. With momentum, depth, and proven composure, Rajshahi Warriors look well-equipped for another high-intensity contest.
Key Players: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shahibzada Farhan, Ripon Mondol
RWR Over/Under Betting Tips
Najmul Hossain Shanto Total Runs Over 18.5 1.85
After a strong start to the season, Najmul Hossain Shanto has struggled in his last two matches, scoring under 10 runs in each. However, he has surpassed 20 runs in four of his last six Bangladesh Premier League outings. So far this season, he has amassed 211 runs in six matches at an impressive average of 42.2. While his career average at Sylhet is 25.62 (538 runs in 25 matches), his current overall form suggests he is due for a bounce-back. We are backing Shanto to score over 18.5 runs in today's match against the Rangpur Riders.
Rajshahi Warriors Predicted Playing XI:
Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shahibzada Farhan, Mushfiqur Rahim, SM Meherob, Towhid Hridoy, Faheem Ashraf, Al Islam, Ripon Mondol, Binura Fernando, Taskin Ahmed, Nasum Ahmed

Rangpur Riders Preview
Rangpur Riders have enjoyed a strong and largely consistent campaign in the Bangladesh Premier League 2025/26, sitting near the top of the table with 4 wins from 6 matches and 8 points to their name. Their season has been defined by tight finishes and controlled chases, highlighted by victories over Chattogram (by 5 wickets), Dhaka (by 5 runs), Sylhet (by 6 wickets), and another Chattogram encounter where they cruised home with 30 balls remaining.
However, their recent outing against Noakhali Express exposed some vulnerabilities. Rangpur fell short by 9 runs while chasing 149, managing only 139/9 despite contributions from the middle order. Hasan Mahmud’s four-wicket burst proved decisive, as Rangpur struggled to maintain momentum during the chase and lost wickets at regular intervals. Earlier in the season, Rangpur were also involved in a dramatic tie against, current opponents, Rajshahi Warriors, where Rajshahi eventually prevailed in the Super Over - an encounter that showed Rangpur’s fighting spirit but also highlighted the fine margins separating top teams this season.
On the personnel front, Rangpur remain a well-balanced squad. Dawid Malan has anchored Rangpur’s batting, scoring 203 runs in 6 matches at an average of 40.6 and a strike rate of 105.72. Kyle Mayers has provided explosive starts with 192 runs in 7 matches at a strike rate of 141.17. With the ball, Mustafizur Rahman has been outstanding, taking 12 wickets in 6 matches at an economy of 6.52, while Faheem Ashraf has chipped in with 11 wickets in 3 matches at 6.59 economy. As Rangpur look to bounce back, tightening their death bowling and improving strike rotation during chases will be crucial. With playoff positions at stake, the Riders will look to avenge the defeat in the tied game earlier this season.
Key Players: Dawid Malan, Kyle Mayers, Mustafizur Rahman, Faheem Ashraf
RR Over/Under Betting Tips
Dawid Malan Total Runs Over 22.5 1.75
Dawid Malan has recorded scores of 7, 30, 33, 19, and 63 in his last five BPL appearances. This season, he has amassed 203 runs across six matches, maintaining a strong average of 40.6. His track record at Sylhet is equally impressive, with 232 runs in seven matches at an average of 38.67. Furthermore, he has historically performed well against the Rajshahi Warriors, averaging 38 with 114 runs in four meetings. Given this consistency, we expect Malan to continue his fine form and score over 22 runs today.
Rangpur Riders Predicted Playing XI:
Dawid Malan, Kyle Mayers, Iftikhar Ahmed, Towhid Hridoy, Soumya Sarkar, Nurul Hasan (wk/c), Faheem Ashraf, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman, Zahid Khan, Rakibul Hasan

RWR vs RGR
Winning Prediction
Both teams enter this contest level on points, but Rangpur Riders hold a clear edge with a superior NRR (0.500) compared to Rajshahi Warriors (0.158). Rangpur have shown more consistency across matches, with stronger bowling depth and better control in close games, despite a recent loss to Noakhali. Rajshahi, however, will draw confidence from their Super Over win against Rangpur earlier this season. Still, Rangpur’s balanced squad and stronger net run rate give them a slight advantage going into this encounter.
We predict that Rangpur Riders will defeat Rajshahi Warriors.
