Dhaka Capitals vs Chattogram Royals Prediction & Match Preview – BPL 2025-26

Dhaka Capitals and Chattogram Royals meet in the 11th match of the Bangladesh Premier League 2025-26 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Both teams have one win and one defeat from their first two matches.

Dhaka, led by Mohammad Mithun, opened with a five-wicket win over Rajshahi Warriors. Their momentum was halted by Sylhet Titans, who edged them by six runs as Dhaka fell short of a target of 174. The likely XI includes Saif Hassan, Zubaid Akbari, Usman Khan, Nasir Hossain, Shamim Hossain and Imad Wasim, with Taskin Ahmed and Saifuddin in the attack.

Chattogram began strongly by beating Noakhali Express by 65 runs, but were then beaten by seven wickets by Rangpur Riders. Mahedi Hasan captains a side that could feature Mohammad Naim, Adam Rossington and Mahmudul Hasan Joy, with Shoriful Islam, Tanvir Islam and Mukidul Islam in the bowling group.

The surface supports stroke-making early, with spinners potentially getting turn later, and light evening dew could help batters in the chase. In a closely matched fixture we lean towards Dhaka Capitals.

Probable playing XI

Pitch report

The Sylhet International Cricket Stadium usually offers a competitive balance in T20 games. Seamers can find early movement, which makes the powerplay important, and the surface tends to slow so spinners and cutters come into play in the middle overs. Batters often need to settle before hitting out, and dew can favour chasing teams in the evening. A total of 150 to 165 is often seen as competitive.

Expected scores

• 1st innings: 155–175
• 2nd innings: 150–170
