Dhaka Capitals meet Rajshahi Warriors in the 24th match of the Bangladesh Premier League 2025-26 at Sylhet. Our information on recent results for either side is limited, so this preview concentrates on the probable line-ups and the conditions.

Dhaka Capitals’ likely XI is led by Mohammad Mithun, who keeps wicket, with Rahmanullah Gurbaz opening and Imad Wasim, Shamim Hossain and Sabbir Rahman supplying all-round depth. Mohammad Saifuddin, Ziaur Rahman Sharifi and Taijul Islam form the bowling group.

Rajshahi Warriors, captained by Najmul Hossain Shanto, include Tanzid Hasan Tamim and Muhammad Waseem at the top, Mushfiqur Rahim behind the stumps and James Neesham and Ryan Burl in the middle order.

Pitch report

The Sylhet surface tends to offer a fair balance. Fast bowlers can get early movement, which makes the powerplay important, and the pitch slows later so spinners and cutters become effective. Big hitting is possible, but batters often need time in the middle. Dew can help chasing sides in evening games, and totals of 150–165 are usually competitive.

Weather

At 6:00 pm local time it should be clear and pleasant, cooling to roughly 20–21 °C with a light breeze and no rain expected.
