Bangladesh Premier League 2025-26 has reached the playoffs stage. Chattogram Royals beat Rajshahi Warriors in the Qualifier 1 game to reach the Final.
Sylhet Titans, on the other hand, made it to the Qualifier 2 by defeating Rangpur Riders in the Eliminator. The pitch in Dhaka has been bowling-friendly this year, and most of the games have been dominated by the bowlers.
Rajshahi Warriors were bowled out for 133 runs in the last match and lost 7 wickets in their previous outing here while chasing down 126 runs.
With Sahibazada Farhan at the top and Mushfiqur Rahim and Najmul Hossain Shanto in the middle, there will be higher expectations from the Warriors.
Sylhet Titans and Rajshahi Warriors have gone head-to-head twice this season, and the Titans suffered a lot on both occasions. Can Titans win when it matters the most?
They have an in-form bowling attack to put a struggling Warriors’ lineup on the backfoot. Chris Woakes, Nasum Ahmed, and Moeen Ali are the key players for the job.

Rajshahi Warriors beat Sylhet Titans by 5 runs
Rajshahi Warriors boast a deep and strong batting lineup, featuring numerous experienced players throughout the batting order. Both opening batters, Farhan and Tanzid Hasan Tamim, are known for their big-hitting abilities.
On their best day, each of these batters can deliver a game-changing knock to put the Warriors far ahead in the contest. However, that is not going be an easy task, given the pitch conditions and the current bowling form of the opposition.
It will be a tough outing for the two batters, and as such, skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto has a greater role to play at number 3. The captain must lead from the front, playing an anchor’s role and building partnerships with one of the openers and the number four batter, Mushfiqur Rahim.
The middle-order wicket-keeper batsman, Rahim, is the most experienced player in the side, and naturally, there are higher expectations from him. All-rounders James Neesham and Ryan Burl add depth to the batting order and are likely to struggle to hit big on this wicket.
They aren’t used to playing on such surfaces, and if the wicket stays slow and low, we may not see a lot of big-hitting from any of the finishers. Binura Fernando, Rippon Mondol, and Hasan Murad will be expected to lead the bowling effort for the Warriors.
Tanzim Hasan Sakib was dropped from the XI in the last game despite picking up 4 for 17 in the previous match. Abdul Gaffar Saqlain is another key wicket-taker in this side to watch out for.
Tanzid Hasan Total Runs Over 18.5 1.75
Tanzid Hasan scored a valiant knock of 41 runs against the Chattogram Royals but that wasn't enough for them to get over the line. In the last five BPL matches he has scored over 18 runs twice and overall this season he has scored 224 runs in 11 matches, averaging 20.36. We predict Hasan to score over 18 runs in today's match against the Titans.

Sylhet Titans have a great chance of reaching the final. They have a strong overall squad, and the opposition is finding it difficult to score runs on this wicket. Titans’ bowling attack can pose a threat to the hosts in this game.
The bowling attack led by skipper Nasum Ahmed features a great number of promising players, both local and international. Salman Irshad, Moeen Ali, and Chris Woakes are all in great touch.
Though Ali was wicketless and expensive in the last outing, he’s been consistently delivering breakthroughs for the Titans in the previous matches. Khaled Ahmed came into the side for the Eliminator match and delivered a game-changing spell.
The Titans look dangerous as far as the bowling is concerned. However, they are no exception to the batting woes almost every team has faced on this wicket. The Titans lost 7 wickets on their way to a 112-run target in the last match. That is telling.
Parvez Hossain Emon is a key batsman in the top order. Their strength lies in the middle order with the likes of Afif Hossain, Sam Billings, and skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz. These three will be expected to rise to the occasion with impactful knocks and get the Titans to a winning total.
They also have all-rounders Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes, further strengthening their lower order. The lack of reliable batters in the top 4 is a big concern for Sylhet Titans coming into this match.
Parvez Hossain Emon Total Runs Over 19.5 1.85
Parvez Hossain Emon has scores of 18, 41, 52, 32 and 2 in the last five BPL matches where he has scored over 20 runs on three occasions. He is amongst the top five run-scorers this season with 347 runs in 11 matches, averaging 38.56. Given his current run of form, we back Hossain to score over 19 runs in today's match.

We expect clear skies in Dhaka with a high of 23 degrees Celsius and no signs of cloud or rain around the match time. We are in for an exciting Qualifier 2 match with no weather interruptions.

It has been a bowling-friendly wicket this season. Traditionally, the wicket at the Shere Bangla National Stadium offered an even contest between bat and ball. But this season, the bowlers have enjoyed the upper hand, with the average first innings score in the last 5 matches being 142 runs. Anything over 165-170 on this pitch will be a match-winning total.
Sylhet Titans to win the coin toss 1.90
We back the Sylhet Titans to win the coin toss against the Rajshahi Warriors in today's qualifier 2.
Teams bowling first have won 5 of the last 8 BPL matches played at this venue in Dhaka. Both teams have a strong and in-form bowling attack, and should back themselves to restrict the opposition to a below-par total in the first innings and chase it down with a little struggle.
Though the Warriors are struggling to find rhythm with the bat and the Titans have a strong, star-studded bowling attack, the lack of promising players in the Sylhet Titans’ top 4 makes their case weak. Rajshahi bowlers can also extract plenty of help from the surface, and their strong batters are just a game away from a comeback that leads them to a competitive total. As such, Rajshahi Warriors will start with a slight edge going into this match.
