KHT vs RAN Match Preview
Concerns about Rangpur Riders’ performance without Babar, Nabi, and Azmatullah were addressed as they crushed Chattogram Challengers by 53 runs in their previous match. The replacements Reeza Hendricks and Jimmy Neesham stepped up contributing with the bat to propel Riders to a score of 211. Imran Tahir delivered the finishing touches, taking a crucial wicket and finishing with a spell of 2/28. This win marks Rangpur Riders’ fifth consecutive victory, putting them 2 points ahead of Comilla Victorians in the standings.
The Khulna Tigers are in significant trouble after suffering their third consecutive defeat, a 5-wicket loss to the Sylhet Strikers at Mirpur. This defeat pushed them out of the top 4, and they currently sit at 5th in the table. In an attempt to halt their downward spiral, they have actively sought reinforcements. Despite the setbacks, the Tigers remain confident in their ability to turn things around, especially against a team they defeated earlier this season.
