GSL 2025: Predicting RR playing XI for match 8

Rangpur Riders will take on Dubai Capitals in match eight of the ongoing Global Super League (GSL 2025) at the Providence Stadium, Guyana, on July 16, 2025. Rangpur Riders won their previous match against the Hobart Hurricanes by just one run. On the other hand, their opponents, Dubai Capitals, lost their previous match to Guyana Amazon Warriors.

Here’s the probable playing XI of Rangpur Riders for the eighth match of the GSL 2025:

Top Order: 

Kyle Mayers will be the key batter for Rangpur Riders as he has scores of 44* and 67*, scoring 111 runs in two games at a strike rate of 152.05. Ibrahim Zadran played in the previous match and scored 43 runs at a 138.70 strike rate. Soumya Sarkar, the experienced batter, has been quiet with 40 runs in two games thus far, but expect him to score big in this do-or-die game.

Middle Order: 

The middle order is likely to be helmed by big-hitting Yasir Ali. Ali has yet to come to the party, scoring only nine runs in two games, but has the potential to make a huge impact. Captain Nurul Hasan has scored only 21 runs, and it is time for him to lead from the front. Azmatullah Omarzai provides cushion with his batting and bowling skills.

Lower Order:

Iftikhar Ahmed is known for his big hitting and has made 40 runs with a strike rate of 153.84, and will be crucial. Mahidul Islam Ankon is yet to show his wares in the GSL 2025, despite playing two games for the Riders.

Bowlers:

Tabraiz Shamsi will lead the spin department for the Riders. He has taken two wickets in as many games for them. Rakibul Hasan took 1/19 in the only game he played but impressed with his pace and thinking. However, the main man for the Rangpur team will be Khaled Ahmed, who has eight wickets in two games with figures of 4/36 and 4/26.
