Rangpur Riders

Rangpur Riders

Rangpur Riders have won two of their last six matches, most recently beating Dhaka Capitals by 11 runs. That victory came after a dominant eight-wicket success against Noakhali Express with two balls to spare, suggesting they can still put together strong performances when conditions align.

The trouble is consistency. They have lost four times in this stretch, including back-to-back defeats to Sylhet Titans. The second of those losses stings most - Sylhet chased down Rangpur's total with just a ball remaining. Rajshahi Warriors also got home comfortably, winning by seven wickets with five balls left, and Noakhali Express beat them by nine runs in their most recent outing.

Recent Form

Rangpur's record reads: loss, win, win, loss, loss, loss. The two victories show they have the firepower to compete, but the pattern of defeats - particularly the tight losses where opposition teams have chased successfully - points to either bowling struggles at the death or batting collapses under pressure. Sylhet's two wins over them, especially that final-ball finish, suggest Rangpur are vulnerable when defending totals. They need to find more consistency in the middle overs and tighten their death bowling if they are to climb the table.
