Khulna Tigers vs Rangpur Riders Chances of Winning
Khulna Tigers added another loss to their tally after they were beaten by Fortune Barishal in the last match. Batting first, the former piled on a great total of 187 which gave the bowlers plenty to work with. Opener Mohammad Naim, in particular, was remarkable as he notched up a quick half-century with 51 runs. However, it was the bowlers who failed to defend it and allowed Fortune Barishal to finish their chase with five wickets still in hand.
Rangpur Riders’ sudden drop off has been quite puzzling since they ended up losing to Chittagong Kings in the last outing, and they scored 143 runs while batting first. Barring Iftikhar Ahmed’s unbeaten 65, the rest of the team barely did anything to secure a competitive total. Naturally, this became difficult to defend and the opposition took victory by a margin of five wickets.

Khulna Tigers vs Rangpur Riders Betting Tips
Rangpur Riders to score low before first dismissal
Rangpur Riders have had so many different opening partners in the tournament so far and it has been a huge bugbear for the side. In the last five matches, they have only managed to set up a double digit total once and even that was not mildly impressive, having added 3, 2, 1, 9 and 19 runs to the first wicket. As the team nears the end of their campaign, a sudden turnaround will be difficult to pull off and another low score is on the cards.
Match Prediction Best Odds
Khulna Tigers vs Rangpur Riders Toss Prediction
The 13 matches held at Shere Bangla National Stadium have been rather close between teams batting and fielding first by a scoreline of 6-7 but the pitch is becoming increasingly chasing-oriented regardless of the score on the board. Even with a high average first innings score of 163 in the season so far, four out of the last five games ended in favor of those fielding first which makes it the top strategy for the upcoming game, too.
Weather Report
With the temperature reaching 26 degrees Celsius, Mirpur will have conducive weather for the match since it is going to be mostly sunny. The chance of precipitation is quite low at 15%.

Khulna Tigers vs Rangpur Riders Betting Odds
Khulna Tigers to have a better opening partnership than Rangpur Riders
Rangpur Riders’ biggest vulnerability is their opening partnership and there has been no improvement in quite a while. Steven Taylor and Soumya Sarkar opened two out of the last three games and it made no difference whatsoever since the team has secured totals of 3, 2 and 1 in the last three games. Khulna Tigers are way ahead in this regard and even though they have also experimented with different opening pairs, the team boasts partnerships of 47, 65 and 6 runs in the previous three games. Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mohammad Naim have found their footing and they are expected to continue on this path in the next fixture as well.
