Graham Clark’s recent knock of 101 off 50 balls against Khulna was nothing short of spectacular, while Shamim Hossain has been in excellent touch.

The Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium typically offers a slower surface. Expect turn for the spinners, especially as the match progresses. Early on, the new ball might offer some seam movement, but batters can score freely if they adjust to the pace. Dew can be a factor in the evening, potentially aiding chasing teams.
The weather's looking good too; it'll be cool and comfortable in Chittagong, with no rain expected to stop play. This means a full, uninterrupted game is highly probable.
The average score batting first at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium is 169. The highest score posted at the venue is Rangpur Riders’ 239-4 versus Chittagong in 2019, a game they won by 72 runs.
Given that this is an evening game and dew might be a factor in the second innings, we reckon both teams will look to field first here.
Rangpur Riders have been the star team of this BPL, racking up seven consecutive wins. Their batting and bowling units are both firing on all cylinders, making them look like a finely tuned machine. Chittagong Kings have also performed impressively and are expected to put up a strong fight. But when you consider the overall strength of both teams, Rangpur seem to have the upper hand in this matchup.
We are backing Rangpur Riders to come out on top in this match.
