Rangpur Riders vs Central Districts Predictions

The Riders have won all three of their group matches, so they have the form to beat Central Districts, who have just one win in three.

Rangpur Riders’ Kyle Mayers has scored 35, 44* & 67* in his last 4 innings.
Rangpur Riders’ Iftikhar Ahmed has scored 34* & 41* in his last 3 innings.
Central Districts’ Curtis Heaphy has scored 51, 71 & 50* in his last 5 innings.
Central Districts’ Tom Bruce scored 62 off 36 balls against the Hurricanes.

Head-to-Head

This will be the first meeting between the two teams.

Rangpur Riders Form

Rangpur Riders completed their third win in three matches when they beat Dubai Capitals by eight runs.

The Riders recovered from 65/3 to reach 158/5 off their 20 overs. Iftikhar Ahmed (41 off 32 balls) top-scored for the Riders, while Nurul Hasan (34* off 18 balls) added vital runs at the end of the innings.

Saif Hassan (3/20, econ 6.66) knocked over half of the Capitals top-order as they were reduced to 85/6. The Capitals were bowled out for 150 off 19/2 overs.

Rangpur Riders Team News

Rangpur Riders are in incredible form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Central Districts Form

Central Districts bounced back from their opening two defeats by beating the Hobart Hurricanes by six runs.

Central Districts posted 167/4 off their 20 overs, with Tom Bruce (62 off 36 balls) and Curtis Heaphy (50 off 38 balls) starring with the bat.

Ajaz Patel (2/18) and Blair Tickner (2/34) reduced the Hurricanes to 84/6, before a lower middle-order revival brought them close. The Hurricanes ended on 151/8 off their 20 overs.

Central Districts Team News

Central Districts need a big improvement from their top-order as they end the group stage looking for a huge win to keep themselves in the frame for the playoffs.

Verdict

Rangpur Riders v Central Districts

I am backing Rangpur Riders to win. I am also backing Kyle Mayers to top score for Rangpur Riders.

Curtis Heaphy is a good bet to top score for the Central Districts.
