Rangpur Riders vs Khulna Titans Prediction

Mahmudullah and Riki Wessels are going to be the key batsmen for them at the top of the order while Shuvagata Hom will be their best man in the middle order. Skipper Mahmudullah has done well playing for the Barisal Bulls in the past and he looked good during his knock of 32 in the last game against the Rajshahi Kings. We predict him to top-score for the Khulna Titans in this match.

The team will back the Pakistani left-arm fast bowler Junaid Khan to strike early and peg back the Rangpur Riders. If he makes the early inroads into their batting lineup, it will give the spinners a great opportunity to get on top of the batsmen who will then be under some pressure. Legspinner Alok Kapali will be the team's best bet to make full use of this situation and he stands a fair chance of picking up the most wickets for the Khulna Titans.

Rangpur Riders vs Khulna Titans: Our Prediction

Rangpur Riders and Khulna Titans have played a couple of BPL matches in the past and both have won one game each. The most recent game was won by the Riders when they defeated the Titans by 33 runs in the league stage of the 2013 edition and this might give the former a psychological advantage heading into this match. Bowling is an area where the Titans are looking stronger. They have come up with a nice variety in the spin department this year and it could make the difference in this match.

Though Khulna Titans are by no means a weaker team, we still feel the Rangpur Riders are slightly better placed to win this match.
