Match Preview:
The Khulna Tigers and Rangpur Riders will face each other in Match No.15 of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2023 on Tuesday, January 17. The Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram will host the contest.The Tigers, captained by right-handed batter Yasir Ali Chowdhury, have had a horrendous campaign thus far in the tournament. Having lost all three of their matches, they are placed in the bottom half of the table. The side’s net run rate of -0.345 isn’t healthy by any means.The Riders have lost Sikandar Raza and Benny Howell to foreign leagues but they somehow eked out a win against the Tigers.
