Rangpur Riders are favourites to win
The 39th match of the Bangladesh Premier League will be played on December 3, 2016 between the Rangpur Riders and the Barisal Bulls. The match will take place at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur and the live telecast will begin at 13:00 local time.
Read ahead for the team information and prediction for the Rangpur Riders vs Barisal Bulls match of the Bangladesh Premier League.
Most number of recent matches played on the Shere Bangla National Stadium have been won by the team that bowled first. The pitch will also be favourable to fast bowlers and the team that wins the toss is recommended to bat second.
Mohammad Shahzad will not be playing in the match against the Bulls as he was suspended for 2 BPL matches for a physical altercation with Sabbir Rahman from Rajshahi Kings in their match on November 28, 2016. No injuries to any players were reported otherwise.
The Riders have a decent batting side, with Mohammad Shahzad and Mohammad Mithun being the consistent scorers and the top batsmen for the team. But the team might struggle since Shahzad will not be playing in this match. Other than them, Shahid Afridi, Soumya Sarkar and Liam Dawson can pitch in to put up a good score for the Riders. Shahid Afridi, along with Sohag Gazi and Rubel Hossain can make up for the batting side by taking some important wickets.
The Rangpur Riders have played 10 games in the season so far and have shown an average performance, with 5 wins and 5 losses. With Shahzad not playing, the team will have to focus more on batting in order to win the match.
Nasir Jamshed, Mohammad Mithun (wk), Soumya Sarkar, Rubel Hossain, Shahid Afridi, Gihan Rupasinghe, Liam Dawson, Ziaur Rahman, Sohag Gazi, Muktar Ali, Arafat Sunny.
There are no major changes in the team for this match. None of the players have been reported injured.
The Bulls can depend on Mushfiqur Rahim and Shahriar Nafees to score a decent innings for their team. Thisara Perera, Dawid Malan and Jeevan Mendis are also capable of pitching in to put up a respectable score. Just like the batting side, the bowlers have also performed averagely in this season and not much is expected. Abu Hider, Taijul Islam, Al-Amin Hossain and Thisara Perera have taken most of the wickets for the Bulls and can repeat the performance if they play tightly.
The team is currently at the bottom position on the points table and with so close to the qualifiers, it is obviously impossible for the Bulls to win the tournament. They can, however, work hard to win their last match in this season.
Dilshan Munaweera, Jeevan Mendis, Dawid Malan, Nadif Chowdhury, Shahriar Nafees, Abu Hider, Enamul Haque, Taijul Islam, Rumman Raees, Kamrul Islam Rabbi, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk).
The Rangpur Riders have gone against the Barisal Bulls once in this season, where the Riders won by 12 runs. This is an important match for the Bulls since it is their last one in this season and they would certainly want to go out with a bang.
The Rangpur Riders have a better performance record than the Barisal Bulls, although both teams are currently in the bottom half on the points table. The Rangpur Riders will be looking up to Mohammad Mithun to score the maximum runs and their bowlers to repeat their wicket taking performance. The Bulls, on the other hand, have average performers in both departments, and will be counting on the bowlers to limit the score of the Riders.
