Soumya Sarkar, Kusal Perera and Sabbir Rahman will form the top-order for the Warriors, while their middle-order boasts the likes of Dawid Malan and Dasun Shanaka, the latter also captaining the side. The Warriors dangermen in terms of their bowlers are Al-Amin Hossain and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, two players they will rely upon to lead the attack on the opposition’s batsmen.
The stand out names amongst the batsmen will be Kusal Perera, Soumya Sarkar and Dawid Malan with Kusal Perera possessing a particularly impressive T20 record. Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Abu Hider Rony and Al-Amin Hossain will form the brunt of the Warriors bowling threat with Mujeeb Ur Rahman posing perhaps the biggest threat thanks to a very impressive T20 record.
You can’t get much better, in terms of form, than being the reigning champions - which is exactly what the Comilla Warriors are. Last time out, they finished second in the BPL league standings and went on to beat Wednesday’s opponents in Qualifier 1 and the Dhaka Dynamites in the final. Even more importantly, they beat the Rangers as recently as the 11th of December, which is perhaps the most important statistic going into the repeat fixture on the 18th, though they did lose their last game to the Dhaka Platoon.

| BATSMEN | ALL ROUNDER | WICKET KEEPER | BOWLER |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sabbir Rahman | Mohammad Nabi (c) | Mohammad Shahzad | Al-Amin Hossain |
| Cameron Delport | Dasun Shanaka | Kusal Perera (vc) | Mujeeb Ur Rahman |
| Jahurul Islam | Mustafizur Rahman | ||
| Taskin Ahmed |
A team with a very youthful feel to it, will look to Cameron Delport to open the batting but will miss Naim Sheikh who won't be available for this game as he is currently away for the South Asian Games.
The top-order for the Rangers will be comprised of Mohammad Shahzad and Cameron Delport who will be expected to score quickly. Afghanistan’s Mohammad Nabi will bring a variety of skill to the team thanks to his ability as an all-rounder. The Rangers will look to Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed to carry the threat in terms of taking wickets. The pair’s pace attack should trouble the opposing batsmen.
The Rangpur Rangers were unlucky not to win the tournament last time out as they topped the league standings. They came unstuck when they faced Wednesday’s opponents, The Comilla Warriors, and also the Dhaka Dynamites, in subsequent qualifiers. They also lost as recently as the 11th to The Comilla Warriors, a match which could foreshadow the result in the repeat fixture, and again on the 14th to the Chattogram Challengers.

| Matches Played | CUW Won | RAN Won | Tie | No Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 7 | 5 | 0 | 0 |
Both teams come into this game having lost their previous matches. This match will be a test as to whether they can turn their most recent form around or continue to play below expectations. The Comilla Warriors will be most confident due to being reigning champions and also having beaten the Rangpur Rangers in the second fixture of the BPL. For this reason they are the bookies favourite and stand a good chance of winning despite the Rangers previous good form over the Warriors.
