FBA vs RAN, BPL 2024-25 Preview

Defending champions Fortune Barishal won their opening match of the BPL 2024-25 season to extend their winning streak to five games. At Mirpur on December 30, the Tamim Iqbal-led Barishal unit pulled off a stunning 198-run heist against Durbar Rajshahi. After a lop-sided outing with the ball barring Kyle Mayers’ 2-13, the Barishal crashed to 61-5, and eventually to 112-6 during their monumental chase. However, senior pro Mahmudullah and Pakistan import Faheem Ashraf clubbed blistering half-centuries to blaze their team to an easy four-wicket win in just 18.1 overs.

The Rangpur Riders franchise won the Global Super League 2024 season a couple of months ago in the Caribbean by defeating Australia-based Victoria in a one-sided final. Moreover, the Nurul Hasan-led team also won its opening two fixtures of the ongoing season to claim the top spot on the seven-team BPL 2024-25 points table. Earlier in the tournament, the Riders walloped Dhaka Capitals and Sylhet Strikers with identical margins upon batting first in Mirpur. With two wins in two games, the Riders’ NRR also stands at a formidable 1.850.
