Chattogram Royals vs Rajshahi Warriors player battles
Mahmudul Hasan Joy vs Tanzim Hasan Shakib
In T20 leagues, Hasan Joy has been dismissed twice by Shakib while scoring just 23 runs in 17 balls. This matchup will set the tone of the finale.
Najmul Shanto vs Tanvir Islam
Rajshahi captain Najmul Shanto has had his fair share of struggles against Tanvir Islam. In 47 balls, he has scored 42 runs while getting dismissed thrice. The slow left-arm hand will trouble Shanto in the high-pressure finale.
Pathum Nissanka vs Shoriful Islam
Sri Lankan opener Pathum Nissanka will likely dominate Shoriful Islam, as he has previously scored 76 runs in just 37 balls in T20 leagues. Nissanka has already been in stellar form since 2025, and hence, this matchup will work in Rajshahi’s favour.

Chattogram Royals vs Rajshahi Warriors toss prediction
Given the recent trend at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, the toss is likely to play a big role.
With the black soil offering plenty of assistance to spinners and run-scoring becoming tougher as the game progresses, captains may prefer to bat first, put runs on the board, and then let their spinners exploit the surface.
A total, even if modest, could feel competitive in another low-scoring encounter.

CR vs RW Match Winner Prediction: Who Will Win the BPL Final 2026?
Considering the Mirpur surface, where spinners dominate and chasing has been slightly easier due to better clarity on targets, the team bowling first holds a clear edge.
Rajshahi Warriors look better suited to exploit these conditions with their bowling depth and slightly stronger Powerplay scoring range.
If Rajshahi bowl first, restrict Chattogram Royals to around 150 or below, and apply scoreboard pressure while chasing, they have a marginal advantage in a tight contest.
