RAN vs COV T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Qualifier BPL 2024
Rangpur Riders go head to head with Comilla Victorians in the Qualifier 1 of the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League on Monday evening in Mirpur. The Riders finished top of the table with nine wins, two points ahead of the Victorians in second place. Read on as we preview this game. The match gets underway at 18:30 local time at the Sher’e Bangla National Stadium on February 26th.
Rangpur Riders saw their winning run come to an end in their last match of the group stage with a 6 wicket defeat but they have an immediate chance to exact revenge with this re-match against Comilla Victorians. It will not be easy but the Riders have been good enough throughout the tournament to suggest they can win this Qualifier.
Comilla Victorians have good recent memories of playing against Rangpur Riders but that win was sandwiched in between defeats to Sylhet Strikers and Fortune Barishal. It would be a big surprise if they can record another win over the Riders in this clash.

Rangpur Riders Team News & Playing 11
RAN Team News
There will have been nearly a week of rest for Rangpur Riders since their surprise defeat against Comilla Victorians to end their group stage. As a result, Abu Hider will have recovered from his strain sustained in the match and no changes to the XI are expected.
RAN Key Players
- Brandon King- the West Indian opener made an impact when he joined the tournament following the tour of Australia and he will take the attack to the bowlers from the first ball in this game.
- Shakib Al Hasan- the left-arm spinner dismissed all of Comilla Victorians’ top three batters in the last game and has also been in brilliant form with the bat.
- James Neesham- the batting all-rounder has influenced games in BPL 2024 with both bat and ball and comes into this match after hitting 11 boundaries in the last head to head.
- Imran Tahir- experienced players are always key in knockout fixtures and we expect the South African left-arm wrist spinner to have a key role to play in this match.
RAN Team Form
Rangpur Riders had won eight successive games in the tournament before their defeat against the Victorians in Match 40.

COV Team News
The Victorians have been a little inconsistent across their final games of the group stage but we think they will keep the same XI for this match as we saw in their last match. There may be some changes to the batting order and there are no injury concerns hanging over any players.

- Andre Russell- the experienced and powerful all-rounder has taken four wickets from the last two matches and he will be key with both bat and ball.
- Matthew Forde- the right-arm fast medium bowler went wicketless in the last game for the Victorians but took 2/32 when they last played Rangpur Riders.
