CR vs RW Team Previews

Chattogram Royals

Chattogram Royals have been one of the most consistent sides in the competition, winning six of their eight matches so far. Already qualified for the playoffs, a victory here would confirm a top-two finish and provide momentum heading into the knockout stage.

Mohammad Naim has been a reliable performer at the top of the order and is among the team’s leading run-scorers. He is expected to continue opening alongside Mahmudul Hasan Joy, who has struggled for consistency but remains capable of a breakout innings.

The middle order looks solid, featuring Mahfijul Islam, Hasan Nawaz, Mohammad Haris, and Asif Ali, while all-rounders Aamer Jamal and Mehedi Hasan add valuable depth.

With the ball, Shoriful Islam has been exceptional and leads the tournament’s wicket charts with 18 scalps, including a five-wicket haul in the previous match. He will be supported by Mukidul Islam and Jamal in the pace attack, while Tanvir Islam and Mehedi Hasan provide control and variation through spin.

Rajshahi Warriors

Rajshahi Warriors have been the most dominant team this season, winning seven of their nine matches and already securing a top-two finish. They will look to maintain their momentum as they head into the playoffs.

Sahibzada Farhan and Tanzid Hasan are likely to continue as the opening pair, although consistency at the top has been a concern. The backbone of the batting lineup remains Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim, with Shanto leading the team’s run charts.

Support from Akbar Ali, James Neesham, and Ryan Burl gives the middle order both stability and power.

The bowling unit has been equally impressive. Ripon Mondol has been outstanding with the new ball, while Binura Fernando and Abdul Gaffar Saqlain provide additional pace options. The spin department is led by Md Rubel, who will be crucial on a surface expected to assist slower bowlers as the match progresses.

CR vs RW Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss is likely to opt to bowl first, aiming to exploit early movement and take advantage of possible dew later in the match.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The Dhaka surface is expected to offer a balanced contest. New-ball bowlers should find swing and movement early due to the grass covering, making the powerplay a tricky phase for batters. Once players settle, scoring becomes easier, and a first-innings total of 160–170 should be competitive.

Weather conditions are expected to remain clear with temperatures below 20°C, though dew could influence the second innings.

CR vs RW: Who Will Win?

Both sides are among the strongest teams in the league, setting the stage for a high-quality contest. While Rajshahi have been dominant overall, Chattogram’s superior head-to-head record, strong spin options, and depth in both departments give them a slight advantage.

Bet on Chattogram Royals to win.
