RIR vs CGC Match Prediction - Jan 15, 2020

The Eliminator and Qualifier 1 of the Bangladesh Premier League have been played. We now have one team in the final of BPL 2019-20, while its opponents will be decided by the result of this upcoming match: Qualifier 2.

The Chattogram Challengers won the Eliminator and will now play against the Rajshahi Royals, who lost in Qualifier 1 to the Khulna Tigers. This will be the third time that the Chattogram Challengers and the Rajshahi Royals play against each other in BPL 2019-20 with both of them winning one match each.

T20 cricket reduces the difference between the sides and opens it up to upsets, more so than any other format of cricket. Since both the sides are loaded with match-winners, it would be foolish to take anything for granted.

Rajshahi Royals vs Chattogram Challengers BPL 2019-20 is going to be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on the 15th of January 2020.

RIR vs CGC Team Previews

Rajshahi Royals

The Rajshahi Royals were blown away by the Khulna Tigers in their previous match. The Royals started pretty well with the ball and kept the Khulna Tigers to just 158. In response, though, they were left frozen as Mohammad Amir ran through the side and picked up six wickets.

We have seen Mohammad Amir do this on multiple occasions in the big matches and there is not much that opposing teams can do about it. The Rajshahi Royals need to focus on the positives and forget about the previous match.

Shoaib Malik played a very good hand of 80 and is in very good form with the bat. Liton Das may have failed in the previous match but he has been superb in BPL 2019-20 while the likes of Atif Hossain, Alok Kapali, Ravi Bopara, and Andre Russell have contributed as well.

The batting unit may be a bit shaken after the previous match but the talent and power to win is certainly present in the lineup.

Andre Russell used seven bowlers in the previous match to try and change things up and keep the batsmen on their toes. It seemed to work as the bowling figures of most bowlers suggest. Mohammad Irfan and Shoaib Malik were very good with the ball and will lead the bowling attack once again.

Chattogram Challengers

An absolutely brilliant bowling performance from the likes of Rubel Hossain, Rayad Emrit, and Nasum Ahmed was the reason for the Chattogram Challengers waltzing to victory against Dhaka Platoon. The Challengers reduced Dhaka Platoon to 60 for 7 after which they relied on their all-rounders to reach 144.

In reply, Chris Gayle, Ziaur Rahman, Imrul Kayes, Mahmudullah, and Chadwick Walton all got runs. Gayle played very slowly, though, getting his 39 runs from 49 deliveries. Granted that the target was not very big but he still increased the pressure on every other batsman in the side.

We are sure the Chattogram Challengers would like to see an aggressive Chris Gayle take the side rather than the version we saw in the Eliminator.

There is no doubt that the Chattogram Challengers have some momentum coming into this match. The batting lineup looks pretty solid and the bowling unit has been performing quite well also.

This could be a great opportunity for them to take advantage of a Rajshahi Royals side that is low in confidence.

RIR vs CGC Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is going to want to field first. Chasing teams have been having a lot of success in recent matches at the Shere Bangla Stadium and so that trend could continue.

Pitch and Conditions

There is no chance of rain predicted for match day and the temperatures should be ideal for cricket as well. The pitch at the Shere Bangla Stadium has held up quite well to the barrage of matches being played on it. Another surface that is flat and good for the batsmen but lacking a bit in pace should be in store.

The pressure of playing knockout matches can make batsmen a bit wary and this is why we believe that a total of about 165 is going to be pretty competitive in this match.

RIR vs CGC Betting Tips

The Rajshahi Royals have been quite unpredictable in recent matches often veering from the ridiculous to the sublime. On paper, both teams have a strong batting lineup and it could be the bowling that tilts the balance. This is where the Chattogram Challengers have an advantage.

We also think tactically, the Chattogram Challengers are better than the Rajshahi Royals. In close matches, the captain plays a very large role and the small things begin to add up.

Bet on the Chattogram Challengers to win.

Our Favorite Bets:

To Hit A Six: Mahmudullah ($2.25)

Mahmudullah comes in with a license to play freely. He smashed four sixes in his last inning and is in terrific form as well.

Total Sixes in the Match: Less than 14.5 ($1.75)

Knock-out matches can be lower-scoring than most as the players try to minimize their risks and those of making mistakes. This seems a pretty safe bet to us, everything considered.

Total Ducks in the Match: Over 1.5 ($2.75)

This is an excellent return for a bet that is quite possible. We have seen batting collapses constantly in BPL 2019-20 and they can often happen in big matches. Just a couple of batsmen getting out slogging or early in the inning will get you a nearly 300% return.
