RW vs ST Team Previews

Rajshahi Warriors

The Warriors have been one of the most dominant teams this season, winning six of their eight matches and currently sitting at the top of the points table. Already qualified for the playoffs, a victory here would guarantee them a top-two finish and a crucial advantage heading into the knockout stage.

They come into this fixture on the back of a commanding seven-wicket win over the Dhaka Capitals. Tanzid Hasan returned to form with a timely half-century and, alongside Muhammad Waseem, will be tasked with providing a solid start. Najmul Hossain Shanto remains the tournament’s leading run-scorer and continues to anchor the middle order, supported by the experienced Mushfiqur Rahim. All-rounders Ryan Burl and James Neesham further strengthen the batting lineup.

With the ball, Ripon Mondol has been outstanding in the powerplay, collecting 13 wickets so far. He will be backed by Binura Fernando and Abdul Gaffar Saqlain in the pace attack, while Md Rubel and Ryan Burl will shoulder the spin responsibilities.

Rajshahi Warriors Expected Playing 11

Tanzid Hasan, Muhammad Waseem, Najmul Hossain Shanto (C), Mushfiqur Rahim (WK), James Neesham, Ryan Burl, Ripon Mondol, Binura Fernando, Abdul Gaffar Saqlain, Md Rubel, SM Meherob

Sylhet Titans

The Sylhet Titans have enjoyed a decent campaign, winning five of their nine matches and currently occupying third place on the table. Although they have already qualified for the playoffs, they will be keen to maintain momentum heading into the knockout phase.

Parvez Hossain Emon has been the standout performer for Sylhet, registering three half-centuries and leading the team’s run charts. Alongside Tawfiq Khan, he will once again be expected to give the Titans a fast and stable start. However, Sylhet’s middle order lacks specialist batters, relying heavily on all-rounders such as Afif Hossain, Moeen Ali, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Apart from Afif, none of them have consistently delivered with the bat.

Their bowling attack has also been inconsistent. Nasum Ahmed has been the pick of the bowlers with 12 wickets, while Shohidul Islam impressed in the previous match with a three-wicket haul. He is likely to continue in the pace unit alongside Salman Irshad and Ryyel Miah.

Sylhet Titans Expected Playing 11

Parvez Hossain Emon (WK), Tawfiq Khan, Ariful Islam, Afif Hossain, Moeen Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (C), Ethan Brookes, Nasum Ahmed, Ryyel Miah, Shohidul Islam, Salman Irshad

RW vs ST Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss is expected to opt to bowl first, taking advantage of any early assistance for the seamers and the potential impact of dew later in the game.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The surface at Dhaka traditionally offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. The fast bowlers can expect some movement early on, making the powerplay overs crucial for both sides. As the match progresses, batting conditions should improve, though anything above 170 runs could prove challenging to chase.

Clear weather is forecast with temperatures below 20°C, and dew is likely to play a significant role in the second innings.

RW vs ST: Who Will Win?

We are backing the Rajshahi Warriors to win this match. They have been clinical throughout the tournament, performing strongly with both bat and ball. While Sylhet have shown flashes of quality, their inconsistency and poor head-to-head record against Rajshahi make them the underdogs in this contest.

Bet on Rajshahi Warriors to win.
