Read ahead for our prediction of the Chittagong Vikings vs Rajshahi Kings match of the Bangladesh Premier League 2016.
Most of the matches played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium have been won by the team that bowled first. The pitch is favourable to fast bowlers and the team that wins the toss is recommended to bat second.
No injuries to any of the players have been reported and there will be no major changes in the team for this match.
Shoaib Malik and Tamim Iqbal have been the key batsmen for the Chittagong Vikings, and with the addition of Chris Gayle in the recent matches, the morale of the batting side has increased a lot. Jahurul Islam and Dwayne Smith have also been adding runs to the scoreboard and are capable to pitch in for a big innings for the team. The bowling side of the Vikings is also quite strong. The top bowlers for the team are Mohammad Nabi and Taskin Ahmed, who’ve proven their skills in the past matches in this season.
The Chittagong Vikings have a 50% record with 6 wins and 6 losses out of the 12 matches they’ve played in this season. After winning 5 matches consecutively, they were stunned by the Rajshahi Kings in their last match, and will be hoping to make a comeback and win this match.

There are no major changes in the team and no injury to any of the team players has been reported.
The batting side of the Rajshahi Kings has not shown any extraordinary performance but still has some good players like Mominul Haque and Sabbir Rahman. Darren Sammy, Samit Patel and James Franklin have also been contributing to the team’s scorecard and will be looking to continue their good form. All eyes will be on Afif Hossain, who took a five wicket haul in the team’s last match against the Chittagong Vikings, and Abul Hassan, who did the same in his first match.
The Rajshahi Kings hold the same performance record on the points table as the Chittagong Vikings, with 6 wins and 6 losses out of the 12 matches they’ve played in this season. Apart from the last match where they defeated the Chittagong Vikings, their performance has been pretty average.

The Chittagong Vikings and the Rajshahi Kings played against each other in their last match, where the Rajshahi Kings beat the Chittagong Vikings by 6 wickets, in a stunning manner. The Chittagong Vikings are in a good form and will be hoping to get past the last game and come back in a strong suit, while the Rajshahi Kings will be looking to channel the energy from their last win and defeat the Chittagong Vikings.
The Chittagong Vikings are the favourites to win this match, with their odds at 1.61 with 1xbet and 1.53 with bet365. The Rajshahi Kings may have won the last game but have a lot of work to do on their performance, and are not likely to take the game away, with their odds being 2.25 with betfair and 2.50 with bet365.
The Chittagong Vikings have a better performance record than the Rajshahi Kings in both batting and bowling departments and will be hoping to carry on the good form in the eliminator match. A lot is at stake on this match for both teams, and an above average performance is expected from them.
The Chittagong Vikings have been performing better than the Rajshahi Kings and have the capability to thrash the Rajshahi Kings and we predict them to win the match.
