FBA vs RAN T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Qualifier BPL 2024
With Comilla Victorians waiting to meet the winner in the Final of the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League on Friday, Rangpur Riders and Fortune Barishal go head to head in the Qualifier 2 on Wednesday in Mirpur. Rangpur lost to the Victorians in Qualifier 1 with Fortune Barishal beating Chattogram Challengers in the Eliminator. Read on as we preview this clash. The game begins at 18:30 local time on February 28th at the Shere Bangla National Stadium.
Rangpur Riders come into this match after losing by 6 wickets in both of their last two games. However, they were very strong in the group stage and they have players in their side who can turn up and take on the role of match-winner if required.
Fortune Barishal ended the group stage in fine form and knocked Chattogram Challengers out of the competition in the Eliminator on Monday. However, Rangpur Riders were the top team in the group and eliminating them will be a tougher assignment.

We expect the previously unseen players in this year’s BPL, David Miller and James Fuller, to once again be in the XI for this game.

RAN Team News
With the arrival of the knockout stage of BPL 2024, Rangpur Riders brought Mohammad Nabi back into the side for the first time since the start of the month and Nicholas Pooran for his first BPL match since January. Both players will be key in the middle-order for Rangpur in this game.
RAN Key Players
- James Neesham – The New Zealander faced just 49 balls and hit eight fours alongside seven sixes in his unbeaten 97 on Monday.
- Nicholas Pooran – The left handed West Indian always scores his runs at a fast rate and we can expect him to look to play the ‘finisher’ role for Rangpur in this game.
- Shakib Al Hasan – The experienced all-rounder had an off-day in the Qualifier 1 on Monday but has been in brilliant form with both bat and ball across the tournament.
- Fazalhaq Farooqi – The 23 year old left-arm fast medium Afghan bowler returned to Rangpur and took 2/27 in the defeat against Comilla Victorians.
RAN Team Form
Rangpur Riders know that if they fall to a third successive defeat in the tournament then they will be immediately eliminated.
