FBA vs RAN T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Qualifier BPL 2024
With Comilla Victorians waiting to meet the winner in the Final of the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League on Friday, Rangpur Riders and Fortune Barishal go head to head in the Qualifier 2 on Wednesday in Mirpur. Rangpur lost to the Victorians in the Qualifier 1 with Fortune Barishal beating Chattogram Challengers in the Eliminator. Read on as we preview this clash. The game begins at 18:30 local time on February 28th at the Sher’e Bangla National Stadium.
Rangpur Riders come into this match after losing by 6 wickets in both of their last two games. However, they were very strong in the group stage and they have players in their side who can turn up and take on the role of match-winner if required.
Fortune Barishal ended the group stage in fine form and knocked Chattogram Challengers out of the competition in the Eliminator on Monday. However, Rangpur Riders were the top team in the group and eliminating them will be a tougher assignment.

RAN Team News
With the arrival of the knockout stage of BPL 2024, Rangpur Riders brought Mohammad Nabi back into the side for the first time since the start of the month and Nicholas Pooran for his first BPL match since January. Both players will be key in the middle-order for Rangpur in this game.
