Chattogram Royals have made a confident start to BPL 2025-26, winning three of their first five matches to sit second, and they will want to strengthen their top-two position. Adam Rossington has driven the batting, averaging 96 for his 192 runs, while Mohammad Naim has added stability at the top with 172 runs at a strike rate of 140, and Hasan Nawaz has mixed aggression with composure.
With the ball, Shoriful Islam has nine wickets at an economy of 6.30, and the spin pairing of Mahedi Hasan and Tanvir Islam has six wickets each.
Sylhet Titans have won three and lost three to sit third, and they arrive after a convincing six-wicket win over Noakhali Express. Parvez Hossain Emon has carried much of the batting load with 202 runs from six matches, and Azmatullah Omarzai has 100 runs at a strike rate of 145. Ethan Brookes (61 runs) and Afif Hossain (101) have made useful starts, but one of them may need to convert for Sylhet to gain the upper hand. Nasum Ahmed has been the standout bowler, and the unit has held up well, though deeper, more aggressive lineups could test it.
