The fourth game of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2024–25 will see the Sylhet Strikers and Rangpur Riders prepare for an exciting matchup. This match will start at 6:30 PM local time on Tuesday, December 31, 2024, under the floodlights of the famous Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. Both teams will be playing their first game of the season, and they want to start strong.
Rangpur Riders had a tremendous season in the BPL 2024, ranking first in the standings and coming very close to the tournament final before losing to Fortune Barishal in Qualifier 2. However, the Strikers, who finished sixth in the rankings the previous season, had a forgettable campaign and will look to improve as well.

Shere Bangla National Stadium pitch report:
At Shere Bangla, the pitch frequently helps spinners, especially during the middle overs. Because they may take advantage of any turn that comes up, it's perfect for players like wrist and finger spinners. Batters find it challenging in the latter parts of the game, particularly in the second innings, as the turn tends to rise as the game goes on. On such a field, a low-scoring thriller could be very likely, and choosing to bowl first after winning the toss could be a smart move.
Mirpur weather report:
The weather in Dhaka, Bangladesh, is predicted to be clear and nice on December 31, 2024, making it the perfect day for the Sylhet Strikers vs. Rangpur Riders game at Shere Bangla National Stadium. Both players and spectators benefit from these circumstances, which guarantee a relaxed and pleasurable game.

Rangpur Riders vs Sylhet Strikers Toss Prediction:
Conditions at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on December 31, 2024, should be good for both teams, but the team that wins the toss will probably decide to bowl first because the pitch is supposed to help spin as the game goes on. Dew may form on the pitch in the evening, which makes it tougher for bowlers—especially spinners—to grip the ball and makes it easier to hit. The team bowling second may benefit from this, particularly if they aim for a manageable target.
