Duranta Dhaka vs Rangpur Riders
Duranta Dhaka won the toss and decided to field against Rangpur Riders. In this year's BPL, each team has won the toss and decided on the fielding. I have never seen a team win the toss and bat first.
While Duranta Dhaka won their first match against Comilla, Dhaka lost against Chattogram in their second match. On the other hand Rangpur team won only one match out of their three matches. Rangpur players are not in good form. So I consider the Dhaka team as the favorite today. Despite having experienced players like Brandon King, Babar Azam, Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai and Sakib, the performance of this team is poor. Let's see if they can play well today.
The match of Rangpur Riders vs Durdanto Dhaka match was started, and in this match, Dhaka won the toss and chose to field. I think it was the biggest mistake of them because they knew that the other team had Babar Azam, and if Babar Azam chased the target so he had pressure, and in pressure he could also out in search of the boundary and when Babar Azam gave the target so he had zero pressure and from this, he can make more runs because firstly he played defensive and then he started to hit boundaries.
As we see that Rangpur Riders are losing wickets but Baber Azam is holding one end strongly. He is not out at 38 runs while the team has made 99 runs with three wickets down. Brandon King, Rony Talukdar and Nurul Hasan all out cheaply but only Babar Azam is the only hope for the Rangpur Riders to reach a good score. If Baber Azam can stay at the end, he has all the capability to score runs more quickly at the end making a very good target for himself and also for Rangpur Riders. Right now Babar Azam strike rate is 118 which is already a good one.
