CGR vs RJW Match Analysis
The 14th match of the Bangladesh Premier League 2026 takes the action to the MA Aziz Stadium, Chattogram, with an evening kickoff that often brings tactical intrigue. At this stage of the tournament, momentum matters more than reputation, and both sides are keen to consolidate early points.
Chattogram Royals arrive with confidence after a statement win in their previous outing. Chasing a modest target against Dhaka Capitals, they cruised home without losing a wicket, showcasing a calm, ruthless batting approach. That result has reinforced belief within the CGR camp, especially with Adam Rossington setting the tempo and Mahedi Hasan’s leadership appearing increasingly assured.
Rajshahi Warriors, meanwhile, have shown resilience and depth. Their last match against Rangpur Riders went down to the wire, ending in a tie before they held their nerve in the Super Over. With match-winners spread across batting and bowling, RJW look like a side capable of adapting to pressure-heavy situations.

Chattogram Royals vs Rajshahi Warriors Team Preview & Squads
Chattogram Royals
Mahedi Hasan’s captaincy has brought balance to the Royals’ approach. As a key all-rounder, he influences the game in multiple phases, offering flexibility with both bat and ball. His calm decision-making was evident in the last match, where CGR never looked flustered despite the pressure of a chase.
Batting-wise, the Royals boast a varied lineup. Adam Rossington has emerged as the lynchpin at the top, combining aggression with control, while the presence of players like Avishka Fernando, Paul Stirling, and Mahmudul Hasan Joy provides depth and adaptability. This structure allows CGR to shift gears depending on match situations.
The bowling unit is anchored by Shoriful Islam, whose ability to strike early remains crucial. Supported by Tanvir Islam and Mahedi Hasan, CGR can apply pressure through both pace and spin. The mix of youth and experience makes their attack tactically versatile on a surface like Chattogram.
