NES vs RR Betting Tips

Noakhali Express Total runs before fall of 1st wicket Over 19.5

Both Soumya Sarkar and Hasan Eisakhil have done well in the last couple of games and have given Noakhali a good start. Noakhali’s openers have scored at least 20 runs in each of the last 4 games, and we are backing them to get a good start in this match as well.

Highest individual score Under 60.5 runs

The pitch at Dhaka isn’t the easiest to bat on. Only one of the 4 matches played here this season has seen an individual score Over 61 or more runs, and we are unlikely to see in one in this match.

NE vs RR Team Previews

Noakhali Express

Playing its first season in the Bangladesh Premier League, the Noakhali Express would have hoped to put up a good performance. However, that wasn’t the case, and the team has managed to win only two of the 9 games played so far.

Hasan Eisakhil and Soumya Sarkar have done a decent job at the top of the order and will hope to give Noakhali a strong start in this match. Sarkar is the leading run-scorer for the team this season. Noakhali has a mix of youth and experience in its middle order, thanks to the presence of Jaker Ali, Haider Ali, Munim Shariar, Habibur Rahman Sohan, and Sabbir Hossain.

However, none of them has been able to make much of an impact on the team’s fortunes. The bowlers have done a much better job in comparison. Hasan Mahmud has bowled a couple of impressive spells and is the leading wicket-taker for the team.

He, along with Mehedi Hasan Rana, has picked up 26 wickets. The duo will be joined by Ihsanullah in the pace department, while Zahir Khan retains his place as the specialist spinner.

Rangpur Riders

The Rangpur Riders have been a bit inconsistent this season and have managed to win only 5 of the 9 matches played by them. However, that is enough to keep them in the top four, and they will advance to the playoffs, irrespective of the outcome of this match.

The Riders are coming into this contest on the back of a win against the Dhaka Capitals on Saturday. Dawid Malan and Towhid Hridoy were both in belligerent form and scored individual half-centuries in that match to help the team post a match-winning score.

The duo will retain its place at the top of the table. The Riders boast of a strong middle order that is made up of batsmen like Litton Das, Nurul Hasan, and Khushdil Shah, while the all-rounders, including Kyle Mayers, Mahmudullah, and Faheem Ashraf, will add depth to the batting.

Each of them has chipped in at various stages of the tournament. With Ashraf back in the playing XI, he will form a strong spin department as he joins Rakibul Hasan. Mustafizur Rahman remains the leading wicket-taker for the Riders and will be joined by Nahid Rana with the new ball.

NE vs RR Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch is likely to be balanced. There is plenty of grass on the surface, and the new-ball bowlers can expect some movement early on in the innings. The batsmen need to settle down before they can start playing the big shots. Picking up singles and rotating the strike is the key here.

A score of around 160-170 is a par score. Since this is an afternoon match, dew will not be a factor.

NE vs RR: Who Will Win?

We are backing the Rangpur Riders to win. The Noakhali Express hasn’t been in the best of form and will find it a bit difficult to turn things around. Nevertheless, they have defeated Rangpur once this season, and we can expect a close contest.

Bet on Rangpur Riders to win.
