Durbar Rajshahi will face off against Dhaka Capitals this Sunday evening in the 18th match of the Bangladesh Premier League 2024-25, hosted at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. On the other hand, Dhaka remain winless after six outings, leaving them rooted at the bottom. Rajshahi also claimed victory in their earlier meeting this season, which, coupled with their relatively stronger form, makes them the likely favorites heading into this clash.

Durbar Rajshahi bounced back from two straight losses with a commanding 28-run victory over Khulna Tigers at Sylhet. Batting first, Rajshahi posted an impressive total of 178-5, thanks to contributions from their entire lineup, before dismissing Khulna for 150.
Yasir Ali has been a standout performer for Rajshahi this season, accumulating 210 runs across five innings at an average of 52.50 and a strike rate of 162. Skipper Anamul Haque has also delivered consistently, scoring 192 runs at an average of 48 and a strike rate of 128. Ryan Burl has added depth to the batting down the order, totaling 128 runs while being dismissed only once.
Taskin Ahmed has led the bowling attack with 14 wickets in five innings, albeit with an economy of 9.21. While the rest of the bowling unit has struggled to impress, they’ll fancy their chances against a weakened Dhaka lineup, with Shafiul Islam, Jishan Alam, and Sohag Gazi likely to step up.
Anamul Haque is the leading run-scorer for the Dubrar Rajshahi this season, where he has amassed 192 runs (7, 39, 8, 73* & 65) in 5 matches. He has scored over 30 runs in three matches. Given his current form, we back Haque to score over 20.5 runs in today's match.

The Dhaka Capitals are enduring a nightmare season, having suffered six consecutive defeats. Their latest setback came against the Sylhet Strikers, who successfully chased down a solid 193-7 with three wickets to spare. Despite showing flashes of potential, the team is still searching for its first win.
Captain Thisara Perera remains their best hope, leading the run charts with 160 runs in six innings. Known for his ability to change the game, Perera will need to deliver a standout performance to break the losing streak. Tanzid Hasan, who has accumulated 138 runs in six outings, has been reliable and will aim to anchor the innings. Litton Das, fresh off a stunning 73 off 43 balls against Sylhet, is another key batter who could provide the firepower at the top.
On the bowling front, Mustafizur Rahman has been dependable, taking six wickets across as many games at an economy of 8.25. Farmanullah Safi will also need to step up and shoulder more responsibility, especially given the lack of experience in the bowling unit.
Litton Das scored a valiant half century (73 runs) in the last match against the Sylhet Strikers. Overall Ds has scored 113 runs in 5 matches this season, with him returning to form after a poor start to the season is a huge positive for the Dhaka Capitals. We back Litton Das to come out on top with the bat in today's fixture and score over 20.5 runs.

Sylhet International Cricket Stadium has been a high-scoring venue this season, with batters enjoying true bounce and quick outfield. Stroke-makers can play freely, and scores of 170+ have been common. Pacers need variations to be effective, while spinners get some grip as the game progresses. Dew in night matches can make chasing easier.
The weather's looking good too; it'll be cool and comfortable in Sylhet, with no rain expected to stop play. This means a full, uninterrupted game is highly probable.
The average score batting first at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium is 162. However, this season, we have seen some tall scores being posted here with the highest being Rangpur Riders’ 210-2 while chasing against Sylhet Strikers.
Durbar Rajshahi are 1-4 in coin tosses this season, while Dhaka Capitals won 4 and lost 2 coin tosses this season. For this fixture, we back the Dhaka Capitals to win the coin toss.
The average total match score in the 9 BPL matches played at Sylhet this season is 341 runs. Five of the nine matches have seen scores over 339 runs. The surface favours the batters and we predict another high scoring game and the total match score to be over 339.5 runs.
The chasing side has come out on top in seven of the eight games played at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium this season. Given this pattern, both teams will likely opt to field first if they win the toss.
Fresh off a solid win, Durbar Rajshahi will be eager to maintain their upward trajectory. They’ve already dominated Dhaka Capitals once this season, and with Dhaka’s ongoing troubles, Rajshahi is well-positioned to secure another victory. Dhaka’s batting lineup has shown promise, but their bowling continues to falter, leaving them vulnerable in critical moments. This imbalance could tilt the game in Rajshahi’s favor once again.
Durbar Rajshahi are our picks for the winners of this game.
