SYL vs RAN T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BPL 2024
Sylhet Strikers and Rangpur Riders face off on Saturday evening in the final game of Phase 2 of the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League. The Strikers got their first win of the campaign on Friday when they beat Durdanto Dhaka by 15 runs. Rangpur Riders have won three of their first five fixtures. Read on as we preview this game. Match 20 gets underway at 18:30 local time at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Sylhet.
After finally getting a victory in this year’s tournament, Sylhet Strikers will come back to the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium with a spring in their step on Saturday. However, Rangpur Riders will be no pushover and the Strikers will need to be at their best if they are to get a second victory in this game.
With wins over Durdanto Dhaka and Comilla Victorians from their last two matches, Rangpur Riders are well placed in the table, just two points from the top. Another victory in this game is certainly a distinct possibility with their form with the bat and ball.

Sylhet Strikers Team News & Playing 11
SYL Team News
After finally finding a winning formula on Friday, we expect Sylhet Strikers to keep any changes to their XI to a minimum on Saturday evening. Plenty of players, particularly with the bat are in poor form so if anything there could be a reshuffle of the batting order.
SYL Key Players
- Mohammad Mithun- the keeper-batter skipper hit four fours and three sixes in his crucial innings which without the Strikers would not have won on Friday.
- Najmul Hossain Shanto- although the top order left-hander has been in poor form, he has an excellent record in domestic cricket. He could drop down to number three or four to try and find some form in this game.
- Richard Ngarava- the Zimbabwe international left-arm pace bowler dismissed both of Durdanto’s openers in his first two overs in Match 17 before coming back for two more wickets later on.
- Benny Howell- the French born all-rounder has taken four wickets from his last two games and returned figures of 1/16 from his four overs in Friday’s match.
SYL Team Form
Sylhet Strikers ended a run of five successive defeats with the win over Durdanto Dhaka on Friday.
Sylhet Strikers Predicted Playing 11
Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shamsur Rahman, Samit Patel, Zakir Hasan, Mohammad Mithun (c) (wk), Ryan Burl, Benny Howell, Ariful Haque, Rejaur Rahman Raja, Nayeem Hasan, Richard Ngarava
Rangpur Riders Team News & Playing 11
RAN Team News
There are three days before Rangpur Riders play again after this game so any players with slight niggles will be encouraged to play through the pain in this game. And after back to back wins, we also expect to see the same XI selected for this match.
RAN Key Players
- Babar Azam- the opener will have been disappointed to be dismissed when set for a big score in the last game. He has hit 99 runs combined from his last two innings in Sylhet.
- Fazle Mahmud- the 36 year old came in for his first appearance of the season in the last match and hit an impressive 30 runs from 21 balls.
- Azmatullah Omarzai- the Afghanistan all-rounder has made valuable contributions with both bat and ball in this campaign. He dismissed Litton Das and Khushdil Shah in the win over Comilla Victorians.
- Mohammad Nabi- the off-spinning all-rounder dismissed Mohammad Rizwan in the last game and the 39 year old has gone wicketless in only one match in BPL 2024.
RAN Team Form
Rangpur Riders are playing excellent cricket and are targeting their fourth win from their last five matches.
Rangpur Riders Predicted Playing 11
Brandon King, Babar Azam, Fazle Mahmud, Shamim Hossain, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Nurul Hasan (c) (wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Mahedi Hasan, Hasan Mahmud, Hasan Murad
