Rangpur Riders vs Sylhet Titans

Sylhet Titans defeated Rangpur Riders by 6 wickets in the Bangladesh Premier League on 12 January 2026 at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Rangpur Riders batted first after losing the toss and were bowled out for 114, a total that looked insufficient from the moment their openers fell inside the powerplay. Sylhet's reply was measured and authoritative: 53 runs came without a wicket in the first 6 overs, and while two wickets fell through the middle phase, the target was reached with wickets to spare. Nasum Ahmed was awarded Player of the Match for his bowling performance with the ball in hand.

Rangpur's innings told a familiar story for a side that has found the big moments difficult in 2026. Three wickets went down inside the powerplay for only 35 runs, and though the middle overs produced 56 more, constant pressure from the Sylhet attack meant boundaries were scarce and the tail contributed little. Four wickets at the death, yielding just 23 runs, completed a difficult afternoon for the visitors.

Sylhet's batting response was the contrast in miniature. Their openers gave the side the foundation they needed in the powerplay, and despite losing 2 middle-overs wickets and 2 more at the death, 119 for 4 was achieved with relative comfort. The result moves Sylhet to 3 wins from their last 5 BPL fixtures and strengthens their footing in the tournament.
