FBA vs RGR T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BPL 2023
Match 7 of the 2022-23 Bangladesh Premier League brings Fortune Barishal and Rangpur Riders at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium for their first meeting in the tournament since 2016. Barishal lost their opening game of the tournament to Sylhet Strikers with Rangpur beating Comilla Victorians in their first fixture. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 13:30 local time.
Fortune Barishal would have thought that they would win their opener after posting 194-7 but their bowlers were taken apart by Sylhet Strikers’ batters. They should have enough with bat and ball to win this match.
Rangpur Riders produced a brilliant display on their return to the Bangladesh Premier League on Friday. They have another tough opponent in this match but they will approach the game full of self-belief.

Fortune Barishal are the only team to have won the toss and chosen to bat first in the tournament. However, that was an evening game in different conditions. We predict that both captains will choose to field first in this game.

Fortune Barishal Team News & Playing 11
FBA Team News
Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s team will still be without all-rounder Mohammad Wasim who must complete the three-match ODI series against New Zealand before arriving in Bangladesh. The bowling attack disappointed against Sylhet Strikers but we expect the same group to get another opportunity in this match.
FBA Key Players
- Iftikhar Ahmed- the vastly experienced middle order batter has scored over 3600 T20 runs in his career. He has hit 22 half-centuries and regularly goes on long high scoring runs. He will be hoping to start another in this game.
- Shakib Al Hasan- the all-rounder produced an excellent batting performance to start the tournament. He hit 67 runs from 32 balls but will want to be more threatening with the ball in this match.
- Mehidy Hasan Miraz- the skipper went wicketless in the opening game but should get plenty of spin on this pitch. He has 72 T20 wickets in total and had an impressive ODI series against India in December.
FBA Team Form
After narrowly losing the final last year and going down in Match 4 of this season, Barishal are looking to avoid their third successive BPL defeat.

Rangpur Riders Team News & Playing 11
RGR Team News
Nurul Hasan leads a very strong and confident group of players into this game. There are no new injuries in the squad after their opening match and equally, no new players are available from other commitments as yet. After a 34 run win in Match 2, we expect to see the same XI for this game.
RGR Key Players
- Rony Talukdar- the 32 year old right-handed opener smashed 11 fours in his innings against Comilla Victorians. He has hit eight half-centuries in T20 cricket.
- Sikandar Raza- the Zimbabwean all-rounder has the ability to win a game on his own with bat or ball. He began the BPL 2023 season with figures of 2-23 on this pitch on Friday.
- Hasan Mahmud- the bowling all-rounder showed off his variations on the Dhaka pitch and was too good for the tailenders against the Victorians. His best figures in this format are 4-32.
RGR Team Form
The Riders enjoyed their return to the BPL in Match 2 and, although this run stretches back some years, they have won three of their last four BPL games.
Rangpur Riders Predicted Playing 11
Mohammad Naim, Rony Talukdar, Shoaib Malik, Sikandar Raza, Nurul Hasan (c) (wk), Benny Howell, Mahedi Hasan, Hasan Mahmud, Robiul Haque, Rakibul Hasan, Azmatullah Omarzai
Fortune Barishal vs Rangpur Riders Head to Head
The teams have been very well matched in previous games in the BPL but this will be their first meeting since the 2016 season. The winner of this game will take an overall 4-3 head to head lead.

🏆 Fortune Barishal vs Rangpur Riders Prediction
We are expecting this to be an excellent game with Rangpur Riders looking to register wins against both of the 2021-22 BPL finalists from their first two matches. In order to compete, Fortune Barishal will need to vastly improve their bowling levels, from their opening game, but they certainly have the players to do so. Overall our prediction is for Fortune Barishal to win this match.
