Rangpur Riders Preview

Nurul Hasan's side has made a strong comeback in the tournament. After losing the first two games, they have won the last two by big margins to finish ahead of the Guyana Amazon Warriors. It was a strong show from the side in the last game against the Rangpur Riders, where they won by 23 runs. Hasan would expect a strong show from his players, as Victoria will be tough to beat.

Steven Taylor and Soumya Sarkar batted well in the last game, and the team expects them to do well at the top. Saif Hasan, Wayne Madsen, and Mahedi Hasan are good players in the middle order, and they must take on Victoria's strong bowling attack. The team also needs contributions from Nurul Hasan and Afif Hossain in the lower middle order. 

The bowling attack will face a tough challenge in the contest, and they need early wickets from Harmeet Singh and Mahedi Hasan. Kamrul Islam and Rishad Hossain struggled with their line and lengths, and the team expects them to bowl better lines. Afif Hossain and Zak Chappell must do well in the ing role.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We have predictions for overcast skies over Guyana. The ball would move off the surface in the early overs, and batting conditions will be challenging. The average first-innings score this season has been less than 135 runs. The side batting first would like to have 170 runs on the board.

VAC vs RGR Pitch Report

Providence Stadium, Guyana, has a challenging surface for batsmen. We have seen small scores in the last few years, and batsmen must be watchful on this surface to do well. Fast bowlers can move the ball and have done well in recent games. Spinners can turn the ball in the second half of the game.

Toss: To Bat

The team chasing the score has won six times in the last seven games. The wicket is slowing down in the second half, making run chases difficult. It is a high-pressure contest, and the side winning the toss would look to bat first and take advantage of the surface.
