Rangpur Riders have terrible end of their season after having amazing start in early part of this season they have 8 matches winning streak then 5 matches losing streak give them early elimination from the event.

Today their performance were worst ever as they bowled out on 85 runs within 17 overs Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Nasum Ahmed done impressive job and took early wickets which never allow them to have any chance of fight back into this important game. In reply, Khulna Tigers secure their win by huge margin of 9 wickets within just 10 overs which give them good confidence for their game which is going to play on 5th February against winner of match between Chittagong Kings/Fortune Barishal.

Maybe everyone knows that India won the series long ago, but they won the fourth T20I against England, which increased their margin of victory. Many cricket fans may have been shocked by the batting performance of an Indian batsman in that match. The player who performed best for India was Abhishek Sharma. He had a very aggressive batting performance and the player scored 135 runs in just 54 balls in that match. But none of the England batsmen were able to put up a significant batting performance, I think their biggest mistake in this match was that they couldn't bat properly.

Yeh that what exactly I predicted in my old post regarding rangpur, if we closely observe the Bangladesh premier league current and previous year standing the only things common is continues winning streak of rangpur at early stage of the tournament in back to back season but then at the end they collapse and unable to get into the final. While on the other hand fortune has fair balance start but when it come to elimination stage they bang each and every opponents and that second time for them to break into the final. Now the only things left to be repeated by fortune will be to conquer current season once again

What a surprising downfall of them, looking to his statics it's Lowest ever target of rangpur in rest of his rangpur riders bpl journey, which is quite disappointing and that's what's vital concern for management to have a look and work on it

They started BPL very well and won many matches in row which was great to see. But then they started playing badly which is confusing because they are known for being good team in T20 Champions League. Since I also did not watch live match just like you but I look mostly stats and their bad performance is very surprising. Luckily you did not bet on this match but as someone who likes team it is normal to feel sad when they do not play well. Hopefully they will get better after this and start winning again.

Rangpur came to this season of the Bangladesh Premier League, after winning the inaugural edition of the 2024 Global Super League. And they destroyed the other teams in the initial phase. At one point, they had 8 wins from 8 matches. And then tragedy struck, as Iftikhar Ahmed and Khushdil Shah were recalled to Pakistan. Khushdil in particular was the backbone of Rangpur squad. But he had to travel back to Pakistan, after he was named in their squad for the 2025 Champions Trophy.

Yes, India had won the series a long time ago, but despite their efforts, England could not make the match against India interesting. Abhishek Sharma had a great batting performance for India, it was really shocking to see his batting, the way he batted was like a giant. Because of his impressive batting performance, the Indian batsmen made a huge score, which is much higher in T20 matches. Overall, India's batting performance improved a lot, they did great, but England's batting performance was not good and they could not play a competitive game against India.

Well.. this happens when teams are overdependent on individual players. Any guess what happened to all those who made bets on Rangpur? Initially, they were the favorites of all sportsbooks, and they had very good odds. And now it is confirmed that they will fail to make it to the finals. Those who made bets in favor of Rangpur might have lost huge amounts of money. And this shows the volatile nature of T20 cricket. In fact I would say that making bets in T20 is even more difficult than doing so in EPL, NFL or NBA.

Seeing this I am disappointed by Rangapur Riders as they have played quite well in their opening matches and have achieved a bigger target which was 210.  But now the target of 186 is not being fulfilled by the batsmen of Rangapur Rider.  There was some kind of pressure on Rangapur rider either they didn't want to win the match because the way they have played well in 4 to 5 matches to increase their points will end which is not benefiting them in this league.  The entire team will have to work hard as both their batsmen and bowlers have to play as well as they have played before.  I also feel the same in his matches, I think he has lost one or two matches and other matches he has played well and won.

Ok. There was a rumor that match-fixing had happened in BPL matches and finally, BCB announced that they would support the ACU with the investigation. The worst match-fixing happened in the Dhaka vs Rangpur match and that's where the suspicion begins. I knew BCB had to step up with some kind of investigation.

According to cricbuzz,

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced on Saturday that it will form an independent inquiry body to support the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) in its ongoing investigations into the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), the country's only franchise-based T20 tournament.

The ongoing season of the BPL is facing corruption allegations, with reports suggesting that the BCB's ACU has identified eight matches under suspicion of spot-fixing and match-fixing based on anonymous tips and media reports,

It has also been reported that 10 players are under the ACU's scrutiny, while four franchises are being closely monitored.

Of the 10 cricketers under investigation, six have represented the Bangladesh national team, two are uncapped Bangladeshi players, and two are foreign cricketers.

Among the franchises, Durbar Rajshahi and Dhaka Capitals have the most integrity flags, with 12 each, while Sylhet Strikers and Chittagong Kings have six and two, respectively.

According to media reports, suspected matches include the following:

Fortune Barishal vs. Rajshahi (January 6)

Rangpur Riders vs. Dhaka (January 7)

Dhaka vs. Sylhet (January 10)

Rajshahi vs. Dhaka (January 12)

Chittagong vs. Sylhet (January 13)

Barishal vs. Khulna Tigers (January 22)

Following reports of match-fixing and spot-fixing, BCB President Faruque Ahmed told Cricbuzz that the board would take strict action against anyone found guilty of wrongdoing.

A day after the announcement, the BCB reiterated its commitment to maintaining the league's integrity and stated its plans to establish an independent inquiry body to assist the ACU in its investigations.
