The Rangpur Riders have one last chance to keep their dream alive in the Global Super League 2024. Their upcoming clash with Lahore Qalandars on December 5 is a must-win scenario. While Victoria have already secured their spot in the final, Rangpur still have an outside shot at qualification—but the odds are challenging.
Rangpur sit at 2 points, trailing both Guyana Amazon Warriors and Lahore Qalandars, who have 4 points each. A victory over Lahore would bring Rangpur level at 4 points, putting net run rate (NRR) into play to decide the second finalist. Currently, Rangpur’s NRR of +0.083 gives them a fighting chance, but they need a convincing win to surpass Guyana’s +0.107.
Their recent 15-run win against Guyana has shown that Rangpur has the firepower to cause upsets. However, they’ll need to bring their A-game against a resurgent Lahore team that is riding high after defeating Victoria. Rangpur’s key players must step up and deliver a dominant performance to overcome Lahore’s spirited challenge and improve their NRR.
Rangpur Riders need a big win to qualify for Global Super League 2024 final
For Rangpur, it’s not just about winning—it’s about winning big. A narrow victory might not be enough to outdo Guyana’s superior NRR. With everything on the line, the Riders will need to execute their plans flawlessly and seize this last opportunity to qualify for the final.
The match promises to be an intense battle as Rangpur fights to keep their hopes alive. Can they defy the odds and claim a spot in the final? Fans are eager to find out.
