There are five international T20 teams competing for the title in the Global Super League 2025. Rangpur Riders, the reigning champions, have excelled thus far this season, while Central Stags have struggled in the first few games.
The Rangpur Riders, the winners from the previous season, have maintained their impressive play this year. With two victories from two games, they lead the points table. They have a solid balance of experience and quality in their team. Crucial runs have been scored by Kyle Mayers, who has been their batting staple. With the bat, players like Iftikhar Ahmed, Soumya Sarkar, and Nurul Hasan may potentially make an impact. Khalid Ahmed is among the bowlers who have taken the most wickets in this competition. Harmeet Singh and Tabraiz Shamsi are examples of spinners who can have an effect. The Rangpur Riders will be eager to continue winning and guarantee their spot in the championship game.
For Central Stags, the competition has been difficult thus far. Their first two games have ended in defeat. They recently maintained their tournament chances, though, with a spectacular victory over the Hobart Hurricanes XI. In that game, young Curtis Heapy and captain Tom Bruce both scored outstanding half-centuries. For the squad, Will Young has also been scoring significant runs. Fortunately for the team, bowlers Blair Tickner and Angus Shaw are among the tournament’s leading wicket-takers. To increase their chances of making it to the playoffs, Central Stags will aim to build on their confidence from that victory and win this game.
