Match Prediction

Rangpur is a confident side winning two out of three matches and also the previous match against this opponent. They will try to replicate the same performance in this match to win and just needs a slight bit of improvement in their top batting order. On the other side, Khulna needs to think of their team’s formation and coordination if they want to produce consistent performances. Thus we believe that RR will again win against KHT in the 15th match of the league.
