Teams Preview
Dhaka Capitals Preview
The Dhaka Capitals’ season has gone from bad to worse, with four straight losses. Their last game saw them crumble to a seven-wicket defeat against Rangpur Riders, managing only 111 runs before being chased down in 13.2 overs.
Jason Roy, Litton Das, and Thisara Perera form the core of the batting unit but have yet to deliver consistently. Litton Das and Jason Roy showed glimpses of form in the last match, scoring 20 and 18, respectively, but failed to convert starts into substantial contributions.
The bowling department, led by Mustafizur Rahman, has also been underwhelming. Although Mustafizur has shown flashes of brilliance, the lack of support from the rest of the attack has left the team vulnerable. Mosaddek Hossain and Alauddin Babu need to step up to restrict the Kings’ power-packed batting lineup.

Usman Khan was the star of the show, smashing a scintillating 123 off 62 balls. His innings, studded with 13 boundaries, has set a high benchmark for the Kings’ top order. Graham Clark and captain Mohammad Mithun also played key supporting roles in the Kings’ batting display.
