BPL 2024 Match 12, DD vs RAN: Team Previews
Durdanto Dhaka
Durdanto Dhaka defeated Comilla Victorians by five wickets and three balls to spare in the opening match of the BPL 2024 season. Having registered an emphatic win upfront, Durdanto Dhaka’s confident beginnings were soon hampered by Chattogram Challengers off the very next game at Mirpur. After posting a meagre 136-run total upfront, Mosaddek Hossain received a comprehensive six-wicket trouncing, which also dented their NRR prospects. As of now, they are placed at number three on BPL 2024 points table.
During their defeat to Challengers by six wickets, Durdanto Dhaka' Sri Lankan import Danushka Gunathilaka was forced to retire after he was struck by a short-pitched delivery. His untimely injury prompted the Durdanto management to sign-in young Pakistan batsman Saim Ayub for the remainder of the tournament.
Rangpur Riders
Rangpur Riders suffered huge defeats at the hands of Fortune Barishal on January 20, and to table-toppers Khulna Tigers a week later at Sylhet. In between, the team managed to secure their opening points of the season by trouncing Sylhet Strikers with four wickets and 10 balls to spare. As of now, they are placed at number six on the seven-team BPL 2024 standings.
While the Rangpur Riders unit is languishing at the bottom half of the points table, overseas stars like Babar Azam and Mohammad Nabi have displayed splendid potential in their trades, with the former even guiding them to their only win of the tournament so far with a run-chase masterclass.
