Rangpur Rangers had made as many as four changes in their line-up after the heavy defeat to Khulna Tigers. Mohammad Shahzad, Nadif Chowdhury, Taskin Ahmed and Arafat Sunny were all replaced with Tom Abell, Shadman Islam, Jahurul Islam and Sanjit Saha. Tom Abell has taken over the captaincy from Mohammad Nabi while Jahurul Islam will continue to keep wickets in BPL 2019-20.
Mohammad Naim: He is the leading run-scorer for Rangpur Rangers this BPL. The opening batsman had cracked a half-century against Chattogram Challengers and recently scored 49 against Khulna Tigers.
Lewis Gregory: He has done a pretty good job with the ball so far picking up six wickets in five matches. Gregory is also a very capable batsman and he proved that in his unbeaten knock of 76 against Chattogram Challengers.
Mustafizur Rahman: The left-arm fast bowler has been the most impressive performer in this bowling attack. He has taken six wickets in five matches at a decent economy of 7.73.
Rangpur Rangers are languishing at the bottom of the BPL 07 points table with just one win and four losses from five league matches. Their campaign this season got off to a very poor start with defeat in each of their first four fixtures. The Rangers then managed to snap their losing streak with a six-wicket win over Chattogram Challengers.

Sylhet Thunder dropped Monir Hossain and Naveen-ul-Haq from their side after their huge win over Khulna Tigers. They were replaced with Sherfane Rutherford and Nazmul Islam in the game against Dhaka Platoon which they lost by eight wickets. Andre Fletcher and Abdul Mazid will continue to open the batting while left-arm pacer Krishmar Santokie will probably be bowling in the powerplay again.
Johnson Charles: The explosive West Indian is among the tournament's top five batsmen with 236 runs at a strike-rate of 177.44. Charles even has a couple of half-centuries to his name.
Mohammad Mithun: The wicketkeeper is averaging 44.75 with the bat this season. He struck an unbeaten 84 versus Chattogram Challengers and an unbeaten 49 recently versus Dhaka Platoon.
Krishmar Santokie: He has been the most successful bowler for Sylhet Thunder this BPL season. The left-arm pacer has taken seven wickets in the tournament, three of which came in the recent match against Khulna Tigers.
Sylhet Thunder are placed sixth in the league standings - one spot above Rangpur Rangers with one win and five losses from six matches. After losing their first four matches on the trot, they secured a dominating 80-run win over Khulna Tigers. But the Thunder faltered yet again in their next game against Dhaka Platoon to go down by eight wickets.

Rangpur Rangers begin as favorites to win this 25th match of the Bangladesh Premier League 2019-20 at 1.54 with 10CRIC and 1.57 with Betway and Bet365. Sylhet Thunder are the underdogs among the bookmakers and they are being offered at odds of 2.25 with Betway, 2.37 with Bet365 and 2.15 with 10CRIC.
Both the teams are struggling to get going this BPL and have managed to win only one game thus far. So both will be playing under quite a bit of pressure. But the one that is able to hold its nerve in this pressure-game will emerge victorious. Rangpur Rangers have the upper hand going into this contest due to their superior record against Sylhet Thunder and we feel they are better placed to win this battle.
