RAN vs SYL T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BPL 2024
Rangpur Riders go head to head with Sylhet Strikers at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on Tuesday afternoon in Match 7 of the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League. The Riders were beaten by Fortune Barishal by 5 wickets in their opening clash with the Strikers losing by 7 wickets to Chattogram Challengers in Match 2. Read on as we preview this fixture. The game gets underway at 13:30 local time in Mirpur.
Rangpur Riders were second best with both bat and ball against Fortune Barishal and they will need to be far better in both disciplines on Tuesday. If not, then they are more than likely to be on the receiving end of another defeat in Mirpur.
Sylhet Strikers looked to be well in the game when they posted 177/2 in the first innings of their match but in reality their total was not quite competitive enough. However they have more than enough quality to raise their game for this match.

Rangpur Riders Team News & Playing 11
RAN Team News
With the Pakistan tour of New Zealand completing on Sunday, Babar Azam is expected to arrive in Mirpur in good time to come straight into the team for this game. However, Rangpur will be without Shakib Al Hasan due an issue with his eye.
RAN Key Players
- Brandon King - The 29 year old right-hander has a top score of 132 not out in T20 cricket and he has made a score of 50+ on 21 occasions in this format.
- Babar Azam - The former Pakistan skipper had an excellent tour of New Zealand from an individual perspective where he hit three half-centuries.
- Mohammad Nabi- the Afghanistan international is a very experienced T20 player who can win a game with both bat and ball, particularly on a turning pitch.
- Hasan Mahmud - Although some pace bowlers have enjoyed bowling in Mirpur already in this tournament, the left-arm spinner produced his best T20 figures at this venue in the defeat to Fortune Barishal.
RAN Team Form
Rangpur Riders enjoyed a couple of middle-order batting partnerships on Saturday but overall they were very disappointing against Fortune Barishal.
Rangpur Riders Predicted Playing 11
Brandon King, Babar Azam, Rony Talukdar, Nurul Hasan (c), (wk), Azmatullah Omarzai, Shamim Hossain, Mohammad Nabi, Mahedi Hasan, Hasan Murad, Hasan Mahmud, Salman Irshad
Sylhet Strikers Team News & Playing 11
SYL Team News
Unlike some of the other sides in the tournament, we are not expecting many changes to Sylhet Strikers’ team over the coming matches as pretty much all of their squad is available throughout the BPL 2024. No injuries were reported after their opening game.
SYL Key Players
- Najmul Hossain Shanto - The left-hander has been one of Bangladesh’s best batters across all formats over the last 12 months and he began this campaign with seven fours against the Challengers.
- Zakir Hasan - The upper middle-order batter produced his finest T20 innings to date, hitting 70 not out from 43 balls. It certainly looks like he has gone up a level from previous seasons.
- Nazmul Islam - The 31 year old left-arm spinner dismissed opener Avishka Fernando in Match 2 and he will continue to enjoy the bowling conditions in Mirpur.
- Richard Ngarava - The Zimbabwean pace bowler produced some fine figures in the recent tour of Sri Lanka when bowling on spin friendly surfaces and we expect more of the same in this match.
SYL Team Form
Sylhet Strikers lost only two wickets in their last game so if they can bat at a stronger rate in this match then they will be a tough opposition.
Sylhet Strikers Predicted Playing 11
Mohammad Mithun (wk), Najmul Hossain Shanto, Zakir Hasan, Harry Tector, Yasir Ali, Ben Cutting, Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Benny Howell, Tamzim Hasan Sakib, Nazmul Islam, Richard Ngarava

Who will win Rangpur Riders vs Sylhet Strikers T20 Match?
Both sides suffered defeats by similar margins in their first games of this campaign but in truth there is not much between them. We see more consistency in Rangpur Riders’ batting line up so we have them as our top side.
🏆 Rangpur Riders vs Sylhet Strikers Prediction
After opening game defeats, both teams will be desperate to win this match in what will be their final fixture in the ‘Phase 1’ stage of the group stage in Mirpur. After Match 8 the teams move to Sylhet and neither side wants to arrive there without any points on the board. The Strikers undoubtedly have some match-winners but we see more of them in the Rangpur Riders XI. As a result, we are backing Rangpur Riders to get the victory in this game.
