Preview by Mohammad Anab
Dhaka Capitals and Chattogram Royals will face off on Friday in the ninth fixture of the Bangladesh Premier League 2025-26, with both sides looking to build consistency early in the tournament.
The Capitals have shown mixed form so far. After opening their campaign with a convincing five-wicket win over the Rajshahi Warriors, they suffered a narrow six-run defeat in their most recent outing against Sylhet Titans, exposing areas that need tightening, particularly during the middle overs. Chasing a target of 174, Capitals never looked in a comfortable position but Shamim Hossain played a marvellous knock and went on to make 81* (43).
Despite that setback, Capitals remain confident in their batting depth and will look to deliver a more complete performance. The side has one win from two games so far.
Chattogram Royals, meanwhile, have also experienced an up-and-down start to the season. Like Capitals, they registered a commanding win in their opening match but were comprehensively beaten by Rangpur Riders in their last appearance. In that game, Royals got bundled out for 102 inside 18 overs. Later, Riders chased it down comfortably with seven wickets in hand.
The Royals will be eager to bounce back and produce a more disciplined display across all departments.
The pitch at Sylhet is expected to offer a balanced contest between bat and ball, placing emphasis on early partnerships and smart bowling during the death overs.
Both teams possess players capable of turning the match in a matter of overs, making execution under pressure a decisive factor.
With league points at a premium, Friday’s encounter promises a closely fought contest as Dhaka Capitals and Chattogram Royals look to gain momentum in the race for the playoffs.
Due to Friday, this match will be start an hour late. Join us at 12:30 PM IST (1 PM Local Time) on Friday for the live coverage.
