Dhaka Capitals will take on the Noakhali Express in match 22 of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2025-26 season. The match will be played at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, January 11.
Both teams have lagged behind in the six teams competition and currently occupy the bottom two places in the points table. Noakhali Express are at the bottom and just about managed their first win in their last match, while Dhaka Capitals have won only 2 out of six games.
Dhaka Capitals lost their previous match against Sylhet Titans by 20 runs, failing to chase the 181-run target. Meanwhile, Noakhali fought their nerves to register their first win of the season against a very strong Rangpur Riders in their last match, winning by just 9 runs. Dhaka Capitals, though, are expected to come out victorious in this match.

Dhaka Capitals find themselves in a similar situation to last season, sitting in 2nd bottom place in the points table, just above Noakhali Express, with just 2 wins and 4 losses in 6 matches.
The Capitals have been troubled by the lack of meaningful run contributions. Bangladeshi veteran Nasir Hossain is the team’s top run scorer with 134 runs with a strike rate of 130.10, but he has really had one significant inning where he scored 90 runs off 50 balls against Noakhali Express itself.
Afghan opening batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s addition is a boost for the team. He has already scored 82 runs in three matches at a strike rate of 120.59. Alex Hales is also part of the team and could feature in this match.
As for bowling, it's no better with the ball either. Ziaur Rahman Sarifi tops the wickets chart for the team with just 7 wickets in 4 matches. All-rounder Imad Wasim has 6 wickets in as many matches, while Nasir Hossain and Mohammad Saifuddin each have 4 wickets. But it is leading Bangladeshi bowler Taskin Ahmed’s performance that is concerning, having just 3 wickets in 5 matches.

Noakhali Express have had to wait until the 7th match to find their first win of the season, that too against one of the better teams, Rangpur Riders.
It was a closely fought contest between the two teams. Soumya Sarkar, Habibur Rahman and Jaker Ali played crucial knocks and were at one stage 68-1 in 7 overs. But once again, Noakhali’s inconsistency was on display as they were all out for 148 runs.
While everyone thought Rangpur Riders would run away with the match, it was a different story altogether as Mohammad Nabi and Hasan Mahmud removed both the openers in 4 overs. Rangpur still fought back and were cruising to victory until the game was turned on its head by Noakhali’s Hasan Mahmud.
Hasan Mahmud took 4 wickets in the match for 26 runs, while Zahir Khan picked 2 as Noakhali kept taking wickets in regular intervals, restricting Rangpur to 139 and finally winning the match by just 9 runs.

The pitch here at Sylhet is usually quite dry and on the slower side, which makes batting pretty tricky. The ball grips and turns a lot, and sometimes it bounces awkwardly, too, so it's not easy to play your shots freely or build a big innings. Fast bowlers can get a little help with swing or seam early on with the new ball, but overall, it's the spinners who love this surface and normally decide who wins the game.
We are expecting pleasant winter weather in Sylhet on the matchday. There will be bright sunshine during the day with the temperature high around 23-25°C. The weather will get cooler in the evening, around 11-13°C. It will be dry, and there is no chance of rain.

At the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, the highest T20 total is 254, while the lowest score recorded is 72 runs. In BPL 2026 matches at this venue, bowlers have generally dominated more often, making it a challenging surface for batters.
The captain winning the toss would prefer to bowl first. All 21 previous matches of the BPL 2025-26 have been played at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, and the pitch is getting slower and tougher to bat on. Teams chasing have won the majority of matches this season, and batting 2nd is advantageous due to the potential dew impact.
Dhaka Capitals are touted as the pre-match favourites to win this match. Both teams have faced significant challenges this season, but the Capitals have already defeated Noakhali Express by 7 wickets. Noakhali would be high on confidence after registering their first win, but the Dhaka Capitals might just pip them to victory.
