Fortune Barishal and Rangpur Riders are set to lock horns in Match No. 3 of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2024 on Saturday, January 20. The Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur will host the contest.

The Riders advanced to the playoffs last season before getting knocked out in the Qualifier. Barishal, meanwhile, will be looking to make amends after failing to advance beyond the Eliminator in 2023.

On that note, here are three players whom you can pick as captain or vice-captain for your Dream11 team for the FBA vs RAN game:

Tamim Iqbal has not played any competitive cricket since September 2023 and it remains to be seen how he fares. But given his class and the experience he possesses, fantasy users should pick him for their FBA vs RAN Dream11 teams.

With Tamim also set to lead Barishal, the focus will be on the opener. In 89 BPL matches, Tamim has scored 2,930 runs, including two hundreds and 25 fifties.


#2 Mehidy Hasan Miraz (FBA) – 8.5 credits
