RRR vs SSR Match Prediction - Jan 27, 2023

The Sylhet Strikers will be looking to hold on to their number 1 position on the points table as they face Rangpur Riders Riders for the first time this season.

The Strikers will have an edge here as they play at home. But the Riders, even though having been rather inconsistent, will be hoping to give a good fight back. 

 

RRR vs SSR Team Previews

Rangpur Rangers

The Riders have been rather inconsistent with their performance this season, failing to build up a winning momentum. With 3 losses and 3 wins from 6 matches, they are sitting in the middle of the table in 4th place with 6 points.

However, a huge win against the Chattogram Challengers in their previous match would have boosted their confidence ahead of this game. Invited to bat first, the Rangpur Riders posted a total of 179-6 in their 20 overs, thanks to a 105-run partnership between Shoaib Malik and Azmatullah Omarzai. Scoring his second half-century of the season, Malik is the leading scorer for the Riders this season with 225 runs. However, the batsmen around him have been rather inconsistent.

More will be expected from Mahedi Hasan, Mohammad Naim, Parvez Hossain, and Mohammad Nawaz if the team wants a top-2 finish. Haris Rauf bowled a superb spell of 3 for 19 to help his team clinch a 55-run win. He received some good support from Rakibul Hasan, who picked up 2 wickets.

Hasan Mahmud can pick up wickets at key junctures in the game but will have to find a way to stop leaking runs.

Sylhet Strikers

The team from Sylhet finished last on the points table in the previous season. However, with an overhauled squad and a new name, the Strikers have managed to bring about a sea change in their performance.

The Strikers have lost only one of the 7 matches so far and sit at the top of the points table, enjoying a 2-point lead over Fortune Barishal. Najmul Hossain Shanto has been the best batsman from the Sylhet camp, scoring 281 runs so far in 7 innings.

He has scored 2 half-centuries, including one in the previous match against Barishal, and has an average of 56.22. Supporting him are Towhid Hridoy, Thisara Perera, Zakir Hasan, and Mushfiqur Rahim, all of whom have played a good supporting role. The seam bowlers have done an excellent job too, with Mohammad Amir, Mashrafe Mortaza, and Rejaur Rahman picking up 9 wickets a piece.

The team however is found lacking in quality spinners, as only Imad Wasim has been able to contain the opposition batsmen so far.

Pitch and Conditions

The surface at the Sylhet International Stadium isn’t the easiest to bat on and it has produced some even contests between the bat and the ball in past. The average first-innings score here is around 150, and anything over 165 will be very difficult to chase here. With this being a day game, dew isn’t likely to play a role here and the spinners will get some turn, especially in the second innings.

The weather is expected to be warm and humid, with clear skies and plenty of sunshine. 

RRR vs SSR Betting Tips

The Rangpur Riders have some quality players in their squad but haven’t been able to build momentum so far. On the other hand, the home team is in excellent form and has shown the ability to overcome any challenge thrown their way.

We expect them to continue with their red-hot form in this match too.

Bet on Sylhet Strikers to win.
