Pitch Report

The Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium provides a balanced surface, with something in it for both batters and bowlers. Spinners will come into play as the game progresses, while pacers could extract bounce early on. A par score on this pitch is around 165-170, but dew in the evening could favor the chasing side.

  • Average 1st Innings Score: 169
  • Toss Prediction: Teams are likely to bowl first to exploit the dew factor.

Winning Prediction

Rangpur Riders’ undefeated streak and balanced squad make them the favorites. Chittagong Kings, however, are in strong form and could pose a tough challenge. Ultimately, Rangpur’s depth and experience might see them extend their winning run.

Prediction: Rangpur Riders to win.
