Late cameo of 35 runs in 15 balls from David Wiese led them to a total of 181 which was successfully chased by the Riders. Yasir Shah took two scalps but could not keep his economy in control.

Batting first, Sabbir Rahman finally found his form scoring 85 runs and was supported by Nicholas Pooran who scored 47 runs in 27 balls to give a target of 194 to Riders. However, Their bowlers failed to defend the target and Taskin Ahmed was the only positive taking four scalps in losing cause.

Al-Amin and Junaid Siddique can open the innings. Brendan Taylor, N Hossain Shanto, Mahmudullah and Ariful Haque will follow them. David Wiese will play the role of an all-rounder.

David Wiese, Junaid Khan and Subhasish Roy will lead the pace attack along with Ariful Haque while Taijul Islam and Mahmudullah will be the key spinners.

Al-Amin and Ariful Haque have failed to perform but they don’t have adequate replacements for them. So they are likely to continue.

David Malan or C Brathwaite can replace Yasir Shah in playing XI.

Taskin Ahmed and Sohail Tanvir will be the key pacers while Alok Kapali and Afif Hossain will lead the spin attack.
