Rangpur Riders vs Sylhet Titans

Sylhet Titans beat Rangpur Riders by 3 wickets in a low-scoring Bangladesh Premier League fixture at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on 20 January 2026. Rangpur were in early trouble after losing 3 wickets in the powerplay for just 29 runs, and they never built enough platform to post a competitive total. They finished on 111/9. Sylhet's chase was far from clean, losing 7 wickets along the way, but they crossed the line to take the win and extend their head-to-head lead over Rangpur to 2–1 across the three meetings between the sides. Khaled Ahmed was named Player of the Match.

Rangpur's innings struggled in every phase. The powerplay produced only 29 runs at the cost of 3 wickets, a worse return than the venue's powerplay average of 39 runs. The middle overs recovered somewhat, 62 runs from 2 wickets gave them a chance to accelerate, but the death overs collapsed badly: just 20 runs from the final phase at the cost of 4 wickets. A total of 111 was always likely to be below par.

Sylhet's reply was nervy rather than assured. They matched the venue's powerplay average of 39 runs with 2 wickets down, which gave them breathing room. The middle overs cost them 2 more wickets for 42 runs. Then 3 wickets fell in the death, leaving the result in the balance before Sylhet scraped across the line. The Shere Bangla has a chase success rate of 54 per cent across its 469 T20 matches, and this result kept that figure honest.
