Rangpur Riders and Sylhet Titans meet in the Eliminator of the Bangladesh Premier League 2025-26 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, with the loser exiting the tournament. Rangpur finished the round-robin stage third, winning six of their ten matches and losing four. Led by Litton Das, they will carry that momentum into a must-win game.
Sylhet Titans endured an up-and-down campaign and finished fourth on the table. They enter this do-or-die match following a loss to Rajshahi Warriors.
Rangpur’s likely XI features Dawid Malan, Towhid Hridoy, Litton Das, Khushdil Shah, Iftakhar Hossain Ifti and Mahmudullah, with Nurul Hasan as wicketkeeper and Faheem Ashraf, Nahid Rana and Akif Javed in the bowling group. Sylhet are led by Mehidy Hasan Miraz and include Tawfique Khan, Parvez Hossain Emon, Afif Hossain, Mominul Haque, Ethan Brookes and Moeen Ali, with Nasum Ahmed and Salman Irshad among the bowlers.
The pitch should be balanced, with early help for bowlers and easier batting after the powerplay, and spinners likely to be useful in the middle overs. Our preview expects first-innings totals of 150 to 170 and picks Rangpur.
