Sylhet Titans take on Rangpur Riders in the 12th match of the Bangladesh Premier League 2025-26 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Our preview picks Rangpur to win and expects them to field first after winning the toss.
Sylhet, led by Mehidy Hasan Miraz, have a lineup built around Saim Ayub, Zakir Hasan and Azmatullah Omarzai, with Afif Hossain and Ethan Brookes adding depth. The attack features Nasum Ahmed, Khaled Ahmed and Mohammad Amir.
Rangpur, captained by wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan, have a heavyweight top order in Dawid Malan, Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy, followed by Khushdil Shah, Mahmudullah and Faheem Ashraf. Mustafizur Rahman, Sufiyan Muqeem and Nahid Rana make up a varied bowling group.
Conditions look cool and dry, and the pitch generally offers a fair balance between bat and ball. Early movement for the seamers and some slowing in the middle overs mean the powerplay and the spin phase will both matter, while dew could help whoever chases.
