Who will win Dhaka Platoon vs Rangpur Rangers, BPL 2020?
Dhaka Platoon are looking to move top of the Bangladesh Premier League table – a win against Rangpur Rangers at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium will see them do just that. The two teams meet for the second time in three days when they face each other in Dhaka on January 10. The live action starts at 14:00 local time.
Dhaka Platoon beat Rangpur Rangers last time out, to claim their fifth win in their last six games. That resurgent form has pushed them up the table and they boosted their net run rate too, by bowling Rangpur out for just 84 – Mahedi Hasan the pick of the bowlers with 3-13.
Rangpur have now lost seven of their 11 matches this season, and the defeat means they can no longer qualify for the play-offs.

Dhaka Platoon Team News & Playing 11
DHP Team News
Dhaka Platoon were unchanged last time out, with Thisara Perera and Faheem Ashraf continuing. Wahab Riaz and Shahid Afridi are currently absent, but the Platoon’s strength in depth has been on show so far.
DHP Key Players
Tamim Iqbal: Top-scored with a patient 40 last time out – a knock which he held the innings together at the top of the order and laid the platform for Shadab Khan’s late hitting. He now has 358 runs for the Bangladesh Premier League season.
Asif Ali: Fell cheaply last time out, but his previous two innings – scoring a combined 94 runs from just 41 balls – were a testament to how dangerous his late hitting can be.
Mahedi Hasan: As well as batting at three, Mahedi Hasan has picked up wickets this season too. The off-spinner took 3-13 last time out to lead Dhaka’s bowling.
DHP Team Form
Five wins from six matches mean Dhaka will go top if they win this match. They signed off in Sylhet with a 12-run win against Khulna Tigers – Asif Ali’s late hitting powering them to 172/4 before Hasan Mahmud took 4-32 to restrict the Tigers to 160/8.
Their return to Dhaka then saw them start by ripping through Rangpur Rangers’ batting. A measured 145/9 proved more than defendable as Mahedi Hasan took 3-13 and the Platoon bowled Rangur out for just 84.
Dhaka Platoon Predicted Playing 11
Tamim Iqbal, Anamul Haque (wk), Mahedi Hasan, Mominul Haque, Ariful Haque, Asif Ali, Thisara Perera, Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Faheem Ashraf, Shadab Khan, Hasan Mahmud
Rangpur Rangers Team News & Playing 11
RAN Team News
Rangpur Rangers have been consistent with their staring line-up and stuck with the same 11 last time out, but they may consider changes in the wake of their heavy defeat.
RAN Key Players
Mohammad Naim: Could only add a single boundary to his runs tally for the season in the last match, but the 20-year-old opener has outshone the more experienced players around him with 342 runs so far this season.
Mustafizur Rahman: Moved to 19 wickets for the season when he took 3-34 last time out, bowling ten dot balls along the way.
Mohammad Nabi: The Afghan all-rounder picked up another two wickets last time out, and he now has five in his last four games and 11 from 11 so far this season.
RAN Team Form
Rangpur Rangers’ batting collapse last time out, falling to a miserable 84 all out in reply to 145/9 ended their play-off hopes. They had previously posted 199/5, including 68 from Shane Watson, to beat Sylhet Thunder by 38 runs but they remain second-bottom in the BPL table – ultimately paying for a poor start.
Rangpur Rangers Predicted Playing 11
Mohammad Naim, Shane Watson (c), Cameron Delport, Lewis Gregory, Mohammad Nabi, Fazle Mahmud, Al-Amin, Jahurul Islam (wk), Mustafizur Rahman, Arafat Sunny, Taskin Ahmed

Anamul Haque is 4.50 and will be alongside him at the top of the order, while Mahedi Hasan is 5.00 after his two half-centuries earlier in the tournament. Asif Ali could be an outside bet at 6.50 after some good form as a finisher recently.
