Rangpur Rangers Team News & Playing 11
RAN Team News
With just one victory in 5 matches, Rangpur Rangers have a lot to improve on. The team is yet to find a stable ground as it was Mohammad Nabi who was the captain prior to Tom Abell at present. Lwis Gregory and Naim have been performing in bits and pieces yet are the only two to have runs above 100 in the league. Players like Delport, Abell and Nabi have not been able to do justice to the expectations with their performances.
Leading the bowling unit is Mustafizur Rahman with 6 wickets as of now. Following him is Sanjit Saha who bagged three wickets and has an economy of 7.28. Gregory although clinched 6 wickets, yet has given plenty of runs to the opponents. The others are yet to make their mark on the field with their bowling prowess.
RAN Key Players
Mohammad Naim: With 156 runs in the five innings, this batsman has been consistent with his performance on the field. His bat has the might to choke the bowlers and is expected to hold true to his form in the upcoming matches as well.
Lewis Gregory: With 6 wickets in 5 matches of the team, this player has won 'Player of the Match' in the last game against Chattogram challengers. The all rounder has 130 runs in 5 innings and can take a toll on the opponents with his striking performance in the upcoming contest.
RAN Team Form
The team has been at sixes and sevens in the league as yet because of change of the captaincy and also due to average performance by the players. With few like Gregory, Naim sailing the boat of the team, Nabi, Delport and Abell have failed to impress or make a remarkable contribution to the team. The team ranks last in the point table as of now and needs amelioration on both fronts of bowlers and batsmen, if it seeks to establish its might in the league.
