Khulna Tigers are favorites to win
The Khulna Tigers come into this match unbeaten having beaten the Chattogram Challengers by 8 wickets in their first match and the Rajshahi Royals by 5 wickets in their second. As a result, they sit second in the table behind only the Chattogram Challengers who are top by virtue of playing more games. The Tigers will be full of confidence. The Rangpur Rangers are the opposite end of the spectrum, coming into this match having lost all three of their opening matches against; the Comilla Warriors (twice) and the Chattogram Challengers. The Khulna Tigers will be expecting to add to the Rangpur Rangers’ frustrations by beating them in this match.

The Khulna Tigers come into this match unbeaten having beaten the Chattogram Challengers by 8 wickets in their first match and the Rajshahi Royals by 5 wickets in their second. As a result, they sit second in the table behind only the Chattogram Challengers who are top by virtue of playing more games. With no injury news this could mean an unchanged side.
Rilee Rossouw and Captain Mushfiqur Rahim have been the standout batsmen this season for the Khulna Tigers. Rossouw hit 64 runs against the Chattogram Challengers, not out, and went for 42 against the Rajshahi Royals, hitting 12 fours and 3 sixes across the two games. Rahim hit 28 not out against the Challengers and was just 4 runs shy of a century against the Royals. Rahim has amassed 13 fours and 4 sixes across both games.
The Khulna Tigers also boast a very balanced bowl attack as no one individual has stood out this season in terms of wickets taken. The most wickets taken by any of their bowlers in any of single game so far is the 2 taken by Mohammad Amir against the Rajshahi Royals. Frylinck, and Shahidul Islam have taken a wicket in each match while Shafiul Islam and Aminul Islam claimed a wicket each from the Chattogram Challengers.
The Khulna Tigers have been in scintillating form this Bangladesh Premier League season having won all their games so far. They beat top of the table Chattogram Challengers in their first match, by 8 wickets. They followed that up with a second victory against the Rajshahi Royals, beating them by 5 wickets. They’re second in the table, but only behind the Chattogram Challengers, a team they’ve already beaten, as they’ve played double the number of games.

The Rangpur Rangers are a team with a very youthful feel to it. They 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 team will be low on confidence following three losses in three games and will be looking to turn things around in this game.
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. However, this time around they’ve played very poorly, having lost all three of their opening matches. They lost twice to 4th placed Comilla Warriors in their first and third games of the season and once to 1st placed Chattogram Challengers.

Despite the bookies favouring the Rangpur Rangers, it’s hard to see past the Khulna Tigers, who have won all of their matches so far. The Rangpur Rangers have lost three out of three. Much was expected of the Rangers before the season and this is probably reflected in the odds but, in terms of current form, it looks like the Khulna Tigers could edge it.
