In a highly anticipated encounter, the Rangpur Riders are set to face off against the Sylhet Strikers in Match 07 of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2024. The match is scheduled to take place at the prestigious Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, where cricket enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the clash between these two struggling teams.
Both Rangpur Riders and Sylhet Strikers find themselves in a precarious situation after a disappointing start to the tournament, having lost their opening clashes. As the teams gear up for their second match, the pressure is mounting, and the need for a victory is paramount.
Currently languishing at the sixth spot on the points table, Rangpur Riders are desperate to turn their fortunes around and climb up the rankings. On the other hand, Sylhet Strikers are in an even more precarious position, occupying the seventh and last spot in the points table.

Sher-e-Bangla Stadium Pitch Report:
The Shere Bangla National Stadium pitch consistently offers favorable conditions for spin bowlers, and presents a considerable challenge for batters aiming to score rapidly on this ground. Nevertheless, as the match progresses, batting tends to become somewhat more manageable in the later stages. Given these conditions, winning the toss could prompt the captains to strategically opt for batting first.
