BPL 2024: Match 34, CCH vs RAN Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between CCH vs RAN?

Chattogram Challengers (CCH) will look to end the winning momentum of Rangpur Riders (RAN), when the two teams lock horns in match 34 of the ongoing BPL 2024 on Friday, February 16, at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.

Rangpur Riders are on an incredible six-match winning streak. They are placed at the top of the table, with seven wins and two losses from nine games. A win against the Challengers will assure them a place in the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Challengers have had a stop-start campaign, and have suffered heavy defeats in the last couple of games, the first of them coming against the Riders by 53 runs in Dhaka.

Chattogram are placed at No. 4 on the points table, with five wins and four losses from nine games. They are well in contention for a playoff berth but they would be desperate to return to winning ways as the business end of the tournament is fast approaching.

In his last three matches, the legendary all-rounder has scored 130 runs at an average of 43.33 and a strike rate of 194.03. It's going to be very tough for the Chattogram bowlers to contain him if he gets set at the crease.

Prolific all rounder Shakib Al Hasan is also going to be the bowler to watch out for. He has bagged 13 wickets in eight matches at an average of 14.54 and a strike rate of 14. Shakib's economy rate is also an impressive 6.23.
