CHR vs DKA Match Analysis
The 11th match of BPL 2025-26 between Chattogram Royals (CHR) and Dhaka Capitals (DKA) takes place at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, a venue known for balanced conditions. With both teams looking to build momentum early in the tournament, this afternoon clash could set the tone for their campaign. Timing and toss strategy will be crucial in exploiting Sylhet’s variable pitch conditions.
Chattogram Royals enter this fixture with a mixed start, having won one of their first two matches. Their loss to Rangpur Riders by seven wickets highlighted vulnerabilities in handling pressure chases, despite a promising start. Mahedi Hasan’s leadership and all-round capabilities remain vital, while Mohammad Naim’s batting form will be central to CHR posting a competitive total.
Dhaka Capitals, on the other hand, boast stronger early momentum, winning three of their last five encounters. Their narrow win over Rajshahi Warriors, thanks to Imad Wasim’s all-round brilliance, demonstrates a well-balanced unit with depth in both batting and bowling. Captain Mohammad Mithun’s consistency with the bat and Nasir Hossain’s all-round contributions make DKA a formidable opponent even in challenging conditions.

Sylhet International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
Sylhet International Cricket Stadium
The Sylhet pitch generally offers a fair contest between bat and ball. Early sessions favor stroke play, with batsmen able to find gaps and play expansive shots. Spinners can extract some turn later in the innings, while seamers benefit from any overnight moisture or morning moisture in January. Teams batting first often aim for 160+ to leverage the pitch’s initial liveliness before conditions ease.
Weather Report
January in Sylhet is characterized by winter chill, with low temperatures and minimal humidity. Evening dew is usually moderate, which can slow the ball slightly and make gripping difficult for spinners. Daytime matches, like this 2 PM fixture, face fewer dew-related complications, giving both teams a fair shot at executing their strategies in full.

Chattogram Royals vs Dhaka Capitals Team Preview & Squads
Chattogram Royals
Mahedi Hasan’s captaincy will be pivotal; his dual role as a stabilizing batsman and wicket-taking bowler gives CHR tactical flexibility, especially during middle overs. Mohammad Naim is expected to anchor the innings and provide the bulk of the scoring, while the likes of Cameron Delport and Paul Stirling add finishing firepower.
The batting order lacks depth beyond the top four, which could be a vulnerability against quality spin. Mahfijul Islam and Avishka Fernando provide options, but the middle order must convert starts into meaningful contributions for a competitive total.
Bowling responsibility lies with Mukidul Islam, Abrar Ahmed, and Abu Hider, supported by Mahedi Hasan’s handy off-spin. While the pace attack is steady, CHR will need disciplined lines in the death overs to restrict a chasing team like Dhaka Capitals. All-round contributions could tilt the balance, especially in sub-160 scenarios.

Dhaka Capitals
Mohammad Mithun’s leadership and batting stability anchor DKA’s plans. Abdullah Al Mamun brings power-hitting at crucial middle-order positions, while Alex Hales adds destructive capabilities at the top. All-rounders like Nasir Hossain and Imad Wasim allow strategic flexibility across phases of the innings.
Their batting depth ensures recoveries are possible even after early wickets. The Capitals’ pace attack, spearheaded by Imad Wasim and Taskin Ahmed, combines with spin options for controlled bowling in middle and death overs. Versatile bowling units can exploit Sylhet’s late-turn and variable bounce to restrict totals under pressure.
DKA’s squad balance between experienced internationals and local talent makes them slightly more resilient in tricky run chases. Their recent form, winning four of five matches, emphasizes the team’s ability to adapt to different match scenarios.
