Team Previews
Durbar Rajshahi
Rajshahi started their campaign with an impressive batting performance, scoring 197/3, thanks to Yasir Ali’s unbeaten 94 off 47 balls and skipper Anamul Haque’s 65 runs. However, their bowlers couldn’t defend the target, allowing Fortune Barishal to chase it down.
The team will rely on their star performers, including Taskin Ahmed, who picked up 3 wickets in the last game, and Hasan Murad, who contributed with 2 scalps. They need to tighten their bowling and maintain the batting consistency to secure their first win.
Dhaka Capitals
The Capitals struggled in their opening game against Rangpur Riders, managing only 151/9 while chasing a daunting 192-run target. Their opening pair of Tanzid Hasan and Litton Das gave a promising start with a 65-run stand, but the middle-order collapse cost them dearly.
In the bowling department, Alauddin Babu was their standout performer, taking 3 wickets. Mustafizur Rahman and Mukidul Islam will need to step up to contain Rajshahi’s strong batting lineup.
Pitch Report
The pitch at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium is a batting paradise with true bounce, making it favorable for stroke play. A par score here is likely to exceed 195. Bowlers with variations and pace control will have better chances of success.

Cloudy skies with temperatures around 16°C are expected during the game. There is a slight chance of rain, but it is unlikely to disrupt play.
