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 Tigers lost to the Rangpur Riders by four wickets in their previous match a couple of days ago. They had every chance of going past the finish line as the Riders needed to score above 12 an over at the death. However, the Tigers crumbled and lost the match with three balls left.

Robiul Haque's performance was a big positive for the Riders after the bowler finished with figures of 4-0-22-4. Robiul picked up the crucial wickets of Yasir Ali, Amad Butt, Mohammad Saifuddin and Sabbir Rahman.

The Riders have lost Sikandar Raza and Benny Howell to foreign leagues but they somehow eked out a win against the Tigers. They have every chance of moving up to second in the points table if they manage to beat Khulna in back-to-back matches.
