Team 1: Predict the winner
Both sides have shown disappointment throughout the competition and predicting a winner, in this case, looks a bit uncanny. Going with the wins, Rangpur Riders have the upper hand and therefore we will give you a team favouring more of Rangpur players.
Team 2 and 3: High-Risk players
Team 4: Testing some bench strength
After not winning enough games, both teams might look to test their local players and give them a chance to feature.
**This is a very-high-risk team, we have tinkered a lot here
